Reaction Steps

32 mL 62% HBr solution in 50 mL conc. acetic acid was added to 50 g hexahydro-azepin-4-on hydrochloride in 600 mL conc. acetic acid. Then 17.2 mL bromine in 50 mL conc. acetic acid was dropped to the reaction. The solvent was removed and the residue was crystallized from a mixture of DCM/MeOH (8/2) to give 79 g of the desired compound.
