Trifluoroacetic acid → (1E,4E)-2-amino-8-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-N,N-dipropyl-3H-benzo[b]azepine-4-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl (1E,4E)-4-(dipropylcarbamoyl)-8-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3H-benzo[b]azepin-2-ylcarbamate (0.040 g, 0.084 mmol) was dissolved in 1 ml of dichloromethane. 0.5 ml of TFA was then added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for one hour. The reaction was then quenched by the addition of saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and stirred for 15 minutes, then extracted twice with dichloromethane, extracts dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. Preparative thin layer chromatography (0.5 mm plate, 7% MeOH/DCM) afforded 6 mgs (19%) of (1E,4E)-2-amino-8-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-N,N-dipropyl-3H-benzo[b]azepine-4-carboxamide as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.47-7.53 (m, 2H), 7.41-7.44 (m, 1H), 7.30-7.33 (m, 1H), 6.88-6.93 (m, 2H), 6.83 (s, 2H), 3.42-3.54 (m, 4H), 2.81 (s, 2H), 1.61-1.72 (m, 4H), 0.89-0.97 (m, 6H); m/z (APCI-pos) M+1=378.2.
