Sodium borohydride → HCID 13604465, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-(S)-t-butyloxycarbonylamino-1-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-[1]benzazepin-2,5-dione (0.14 g) and sodium borohydride (7 mg) in ethanol (10 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The ethanol was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue dissolved in dichloromethane (25 ml). The solution was extracted with 2N HCl (2×20 ml) and saturated brine (20 ml), and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue triturated with ether to give 3-(S)-t-butyloxycarbonylamino-1-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-5-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-[1]benzazepin-2-one, mp 167°-169.5° C., [α]D =-193° (c=0.52 in DMF). The substance was also obtained by hydrogenation of the benzazepin-2,5-dione derivative with H2 /Pt in ethanol.
