Diisopropylethylamine → 1,1-dimethylethyl 7-(4-{[(2,2-difluoroethyl)amino]carbonyl}phenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzoxazepine-4(5H)-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,1-dimethylethyl 7-[4-(chlorocarbonyl)phenyl]-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzoxazepine-4(5H)-carboxylate (1.0 g, 2.6 mmol) and DIPEA (2.2 mL, 13 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) was added 2,2-difluoroethylamine (0.21 g, 2.6 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h and then partitioned between ethyl acetate (20 mL) and 1M hydrochloric acid (20 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine (20 mL), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Purification by column chromatography on silica (30% ethyl acetate in hexanes) provided 1,1-dimethylethyl 7-(4-{[(2,2-difluoroethyl)amino]carbonyl}phenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzoxazepine-4 (5H)-carboxylate (0.95 g, 85% yield). MS (EI) for C23H26F2N2O4: 433 (MH1).
