3-Methoxy-2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-benz[b]azepine (0.5 g) and anhydrous lithium chloride (0.63 g) were added to dry tetrahydrofuran (10 mL), and the mixture was cooled to -70° C. To this was added diisopropylamine (380 mL), followed by butyllithium (2.2 mL, 2.5 M in hexanes); and the mixture was warmed to -20° C. After 30 minutes, methyl iodide (307 mL) was added and the mixture cooled to -10° C. for 10 minutes. The mixture was diluted with water, acidified with 2 N hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried and evaporated. The solid was purified by chromatography, with ethyl acetate:toluene (1:1) as the eluent, and recrystallized from hot toluene to give the methylated product as a white solid (0.367 g); NHR: 2.03 (s,3); MS(EI): m/z=217(M).
