Reaction Steps

8-Chloro-3-methoxy-4-methyl-2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-benz[b]azepine (0.4 g) was treated with 100 mL of liquid dimethylamine chilled to -78° C. The mixture was sealed in a pressure vessel and warmed to 26° C. for 72 hours. The excess dimethylamine was evaporated to give an oil which was dissolved in water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were combined and concentrated to a brown oil. The oil was crystallized using ether to give a yellow solid. The solid was purified by chromatography, with ethyl acetate: hexane (1:1) as the eluent, to give the title compound; NMR: 2.95 (s,6), 2.28 (s,3); MS: m/z=265(M+1).
