Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 5.18 g (27.18 mmol) CuI in 85 mL anhydrous THF at −78° C. was added 24 mL (34 mmol) of a 1.4 M solution of methyl magnesium bromide in THF/toluene dropwise under an atmosphere of nitrogen, the reaction was left to warm up to −15° C. and then stirred at this temperature for 45 minutes. It was cooled again at −78° C. and a solution of 3.85 g (13.59 mmol) 5-oxo-2,5,6,7-tetrahydro-azepine-1,4-dicarboxylic acid 1-tert-butyl ester 4-ethyl ester in 30 mL anhydrous THF was added dropwise. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 30 minutes and then left to warm up to room temperature over a period of 60 minutes. 100 mL saturated aqueous ammonium chloride was added and the resulting mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×150 mL), the organic layers were combined, washed with H2O (2×200 mL) and saturated brine (200 mL) and dried over MgSO4. After filtration and evaporation of the solvent the product was purified by column chromatography (silica, hexane/EtOAc 8:2) to give crude material that was used in the next step.
