Reaction Steps

A solution of 8-Chloro-4-[2-(ethoxycarbonyl)ethenyl]-3-methoxy-2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-benz[b]azepine (0.1009 g) in tetrahydrofuran (2.3 mL) was treated with a solution of lithium hydroxide monohydrate (0.0126 g) in tetrahydrofuran (2.3 mL) and water (0.5 mL) at room temperature. The solution was stirred at room temperature under argon for 68 hours. It was then added to 0.05N hydrochloric acid (10 mL). The resulting solid was filtered off, washed with water, and air-dried to give a light tan solid (0.0803 g). The solid was dissolved in hot ethanol (5 mL). The solution was filtered and treated with water (2 mL). The crystals were filtered off at room temperature, washed with aqueous ethanol (1:1, v:v) and dried under vacuum to give a light tan solid (0.054 g); mp 177.5°-178.4° C.; 1H NMR (d6 -DMSO) 7.74 (d,1, J=16), 6.74 (d,1, J=16) for trans olefin protons; MS: m/z=276 (base peak), 322 (M+1). Analysis for C15 H12ClNO5 : Calculated: C, 56.00; H, 3.78; N, 3.99; Found: C, 56.55; H, 3.78; N, 3.99.
