Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1-(1,1-dioxido-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzothiazepin-4(5H)-yl)ethanone (6.0 g, 25.0 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (100 mL) was added phosphorus oxychloride (2.5 mL, 27.3 mmol) at 10° C. After being stirred for 20 minutes at room temperature, a solution of 2-amino-5-methylbenzonitrile (3.3 g, 25.0 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (40 mL) was added and the resulting suspension was heated under reflux for 24 hours. After being cooled to room temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with water (50 mL), basified with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate to about pH 8. The separated aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (100 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluting with 16% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether) to give 1.5 g of the product as a white solid.
