N-bromobutanimide → HCID 59432473, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Add N-bromosuccinimide (1.10 g, 6.19 mmol) in one portion to a solution of (S)-(3,5-bistrifluoromethylbenzyl)-(2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-(7-methyl-8-trifluoromethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[b]azepin-5-yl)amine (2.85 g, 5.16 mmol) (Example 3, Step 18) in acetic acid (25 mL) at room temperature. Stir for 2 hours. Evaporate the solvent under reduced pressure. Partition the residue between ethyl acetate (250 mL) and aqueous Na2CO3 (250 mL). Separate the layers, dry over Na2SO4, filter and concentrate. Purify the residue by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with ethyl acetate/hexanes (0-30%), to provide the title compound as an off-white solid (2.99 g, 92%). MS (ES+): 631, 633 (M+H).
