Reaction Steps

Add 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(7-hydroxy-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-benzo[d]azepin-3-yl)ethanone (0.750 g, 2.89 mmol), 6-chloronicotinamide (0.377 g, 2.41 mmol) and K2CO3 (0.833 g, 6.03 mmol) to a round bottom equipped with a Dean-Stark trap. Add toluene (6 mL) and DMF (18 mL). Heat at reflux for two hours. Cool the reaction mixture to 100° C. and stir overnight. Remove the toluene and DMF as an azeotrope with xylenes. Suspend the solid in 5% methanol/ethyl acetate (100 mL) and filter. Wash the filter cake with ethyl acetate. Concentrate the filtrate, then purify by flash chromatography, eluting with 40% ethyl acetate in dichloromethane to give the title compound (0.312 g, 34.0%):
