Diisopropylethylamine → 4-{4-[(7-Methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalen-2-yl)-propyl-amino]-butyl}-[1,4]oxazepan-3-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To (7-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalen-2-yl)-propyl-amine (ca. 13 mg 50 μmole) as described in Example 1, was added 440 μL solution of 4-(2-oxo-[1,4]oxazepan-4-yl)-butyraldehyde (0.125 M in 1,2 dichloroethane), 30 μL diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) and 300 μL of 0.25 M slurry of sodium triacetoxyborohydride in 1,2 dichloroethane. The reaction was shaken at room temperature for 48 h. After quenching with 2 mL 2% NaOH, the reaction mixture was transferred along with 0.5 mL water and ethyl acetate to workup flasks. The organic phase was washed, dried and concentrated. Purification by chromatography yielded 4-{4-[(7-Methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalen-2-yl)-propyl-amino]-butyl}-[1,4]oxazepan-3-one 17, MS: 389([M+H]+);
