Chlorosulfonic acid → 3-acetyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine-7-sulfonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-acetyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine (4.0 g, 0.021 mol) in dichloromethane (25 ml) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of chlorosulphonic acid in dichloromethane (25 ml) at −70° C. under argon. After warming to room temperature, the reaction was stirred for 18 h before being quenched in ice/water (200 ml). The resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 ml), dried (Na2SO4) and the solvent evaporated in vacuo to give the title compound (2.74 g, 45%) as a pale yellow solid.
