Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,1-dimethylethyl 7-{4-[(methyloxy)carbonyl]phenyl}-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzoxazepine-4(5H)-carboxylate (1.90 g, 4.96 mmol) in dry methanol (10 mL) was added drop wise 4 N hydrogen chloride in dioxane (10 mL) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was warmed to 55° C. for 60 min, at which time it was cooled to room temperature. The precipitated product was isolated by filtration, washed with diethyl ether, and dried to yield methyl 4-(2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,4-benzoxazepin-7-yl)benzoate hydrochloride (1.53 g, 97% yield) as a white solid.
