Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-(p-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-3-benzazepine of Example 1 (13.0 g, 0.042 mole), p-nitrophenethyl bromide (11.7 g, 0.05] mole), sodium bicarbonate (18 g, 0.21 mole) and 0.01 g of KI in DMF (100 ml) was warmed at 90° C. for six hours. The reaction mixture was cooled, filtered and concentrated to an oil which was stirred with water then extracted with ether. The ether extracts were washed with water and dried (saturated MgSO4). The solution was filtered then concentrated to an oil (20 g). The oil was passed through a silica gel dry column using ethyl acetate as the eluent. The desired produce was extracted with ethyl acetate, filtered and concentrated to an oil (16 g) which was dissolved in ether, then converted to the hydrobromide salt (8 g, 35%, m.p. 98°-108°) by the addition of ethereal HBr. A 3.0 g. sample was recrystallized from a 20:1 solution of ethyl acetate/methanol to yield 3-[2-p-nitrophenylethyl)]-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-(p-trifluoromethylphenoxy)- 3-benzazepine hydrobromide (2.4 g, d 216°-217° C.).
