Dimethylformamide → 2,3-dihydro-1H-1-benzazepine-4-carboxamide dihydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

In THF (5 ml) was dissolved 1-cyclopropylmethyl-7-[4-(2-propoxyethoxy)phenyl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-1-benzazepine-4-carboxylic acid (0.25 g). Under ice-cooling, to the solution were added oxalyl chloride (0.11 ml) and DMF (catalytic amount). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. In THF (25 ml) was dissolved the residue, and the solution was added dropwise to a solution of 4-[N-methyl-N-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)aminomethyl]aniline (0.14 g) and triethylamine (0.41 ml) in THF (5 ml), under ice-cooling. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight under nitrogen atmosphere and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. To the residue was added water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, and dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/methanol/triethylamine), which was dissolved in ethyl acetate. To the solution was added 4N hydrochloric acid-ethyl acetate, and the solvent was evaporated to give 1-cyclopropylmethyl-7-[4-(2-propoxyethoxy)phenyl]-N-[4-[[N-methyl-N-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)amino]methyl]phenyl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-1-benzazepine-4-carboxamide dihydrochloride (Compound 36) (0.32 g) as pale yellow amorphous.
