Participants

Reaction Steps

Combine benzyl N-[(3R)-2-thioxo-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-benzazepin-3-yl]carbamate (8.71 g, 26.68 mmol), mercury dichloride (HgCl2) (9.42 g, 34.69 mmol), and aminoacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal (11.65 mL, 106.73 mmol;) in tetrahydrofuran (250 mL) and heat to 55° C. for 20 minutes. Cool the mixture to ambient temperature and filter it through diatomaceous earth. Wash the cake with THF and ethyl acetate and concentrate the filtrate under reduced pressure. Dissolve the resulting oil in dichloromethane, wash with warm water (4×) and brine, dry over sodium sulfate, and concentrate the organic layer under reduced pressure to give the title compound (9.78 g, 92%) as a solid: MS (m/z): 398 (M+1).
