N-tert-butyl-2-(3-azido-2-oxo-5-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-(1)benzazepin-1-yl) ethanoic acid amide → N-tert-butyl-2-(3-amino-2-oxo-5-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-(1)benzazepin-1-yl) ethanoic acid amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5.80 grams (14.3 retool) N-tert-butyl-2-(3-azido-2-oxo-5-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-(1)benzazepin-1-yl) ethanoic acid amide in 70 mL ethanol (with methylene chloride as necessary to aid dissolution) was treated with 600 mg 10% palladium on carbon under hydrogen (42 to 39 psi) for 20.5 hours. The reaction was filtered through Celite® with ethanol and methylene chloride and evaporated to a foam, 5.44 grams (100%).
