Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-benzyl 4-ethyl 2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-azepine-1,4-dicarboxylate (890 mg, 2.93 mmol) and 5% Pd/C (90 mg) in THF (70 ml) were stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere for 12 hours. The mixture was then filtered over celite and concentrated giving colourless oil. This was dissolved in dichloromethane (10 ml), cooled to 0° C. and DIPEA (1.02 ml, 5.86 mmol) followed by benzyl chloroformate (0.45 ml, 3.22 mmol) were added. On complete addition the reaction was raised to room temperature and stirred for a further 1 hour. The mixture was then diluted with dichloromethane (40 ml) and washed with water (2×20 ml), dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica FCC (using a gradient of eluents; 99:1 to 90:10 dichloromethane/MeOH) to give the title product as colourless oil (521 mg, 59%).
