Participants

Reaction Steps

Add acetic acid (0.05 mL, 0.078 mmol) and acetaldehyde (34 mg, 0.78 mmol) to a solution of 5-(3,5-Bis-trifluoromethyl-benzylamino)-8-chloro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-benzo[b]azepine-1-carboxylic acid isopropyl ester (see example 3) (40 mg, 0.078 mmol) in dimethylformamide (1 mL). Stir at room temperature for 2 h. Add sodium triacetoxyborohydride (33 mg, 0.16 mmol) and stir the mixture at room temperature for 2 h. Add saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate and extract with ethyl acetate (3×10 mL). Dry the organic layer over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filter and remove the solvent under reduced pressure. Chromatograph the residue over silica cartridge, eluting with hexanes/ethyl acetate (10:1), to afford the title compound (11 mg, 26%). MS (ES+): 537 (M+H).
