Hydrochloric Acid → (S)-4-amino-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-3H-benzo[c]azepin-3-one hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

(S)-4-(t-butyloxycarbonylamino)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2-benzazepin-3(1H)-one (276 mg) was dissolved in 2 M hydrogen chloride in diethyl ether solution (25 mL) at room temperature. A precipitate slowly formed. After 16 h stirring the solvent was evaporated under vacuum. The residue was twice taken up in toluene (10 mL) and evaporated to provide (S)-4-amino-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2-benzazepin-3(1H)-one hydrochloride, which was used directly in the next step.
