Reaction Steps

2,5-Dihydro-2,5-dioxo-3-methoxy-1H-benz[b]azepine (0.4 g) was treated with 80 mL of liquid anhydrous ammonia chilled to -78° C. The mixture was sealed in a pressure vessel and warmed to 23° C. for 18 hours. The excess ammonia was evaporated to give a solid. The solid was dissolved in hot methanol (120 mL); the solution was filtered and evaporated to 60 mL; and crystallization was initiated by cooling the solution in an ice bath. The solid was filtered, washed (cold methanol) and dried under vacuum (25° C., 15 Pa) to give the title compound (0.28 g); mp 295.2-296.5° C.
