Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-[(4-fluoro-3-methylphenoxy)methyl]-2-methylazepane (2-7, 120 mg, 0.48 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in DMF (5 mL) was treated with 2-iodo-5-methylbenzoic acid (140 mg, 0.52 mmol, 1.1 equiv), EDC (110 mg, 0.57 mmol, 1.2 equiv), HOBT (88 mg, 0.57 mmol, 1.2 equiv) and triethylamine (0.20 mL, 140 mg, 1.4 mmol, 3.0 equiv) and the resulting mixture was stirred at 23° C. for 16 hours. The mixture was filtered and purified by reverse phase liquid chromatography (Sunfire C18 OBD 5 um, 20×150 mm column; 0-100% CH3CN/H2O gradient w/0.10% TFA present) to yield 6-[(4-fluoro-3-methylphenoxy)methyl]-1-(2-iodo-5-methylbenzoyl)-2-methylazepane (3-1). δ 7.87 (m, 1H), 7.10 (m, 6H), 6.43 (m, 1H), 4.79-1.04 (m, 19H). LRMS m/z (M+H) 496.2 found, 496.1 required.
