Reaction Steps

In ethyl acetate (80 ml) was dissolved t-butyl 7-bromo-1-propyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1-benzazepine-4-carboxylate (8.05 g). To the solution was added a solution of 4N hydrochloric acid in ethyl acetate (80 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. To the mixture was added water, and the mixture was adjusted to pH2 with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue of solid was washed with hexane-ethyl acetate to give yellow crystals of 7-bromo-1-propyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1-benzazepine-4-carboxylic acid (2.61 g, 39%).
