Participants

Reaction Steps

5-[(3-Cyclobutyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepin-7-yl)oxy]-2-pyrazinecarboxylic acid (E123a) (168 mg, 0.47 mmol) was dissolved in dry dimethylformamide (5 ml), treated with 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (230 mg, 1.42 mmol) and the resulting mixture stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. The mixture was treated with 0.880 ammonia (0.14 ml, 2.84 mmol) and stirred for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the resulting residue purified by column chromatography eluting with a mixture of (0.5:4.5:95) to afford the title compound; MS (ES+) m/e 339 [M+H]+.
