Diazomethane → rel-(3S,5S)-trans-7-Chloro-5-(2-cyclopropylethenyl)-1,5-dihydro-3-cyclopropyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-4,1-benzoxazepin-2(3H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 73 mg of rel-(3S,5S)-trans-7-chloro-5-(2-cyclopropylethenyl)-1,5-dihydro-3-ethenyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-4,1-benzoxazepin-2(3H)-one (from Example 42) in 7.5 mL of anhydrous ether was added first 4 mg of palladium (II) acetate and then a solution of approximately 1.23 mmol of diazomethane in 3.5 mL of ether. After stirring 30 min at room temperature, the reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of filter-aid and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness. The crude product was purified by column chromatography over silica gel (elution with methylene chloride) to give 47 mg of the title compound as a pure solid was recrystallized from ether-hexanes to afford 31 mg: mp 143-144°; HRMS: Calcd. for C18H16NO2F3Cl (M−H)−: 370.0822. Found: 370.0801.
