Hydrochloric Acid → 1-Allyl-7-(4-propoxyethoxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1-benzazepine-4-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 1-allyl-7-(4-propoxyethoxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1-benzazepine-4-carboxylate (262 mg) in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran (19 ml) and methanol (19 ml) was added 1N sodium hydroxide solution (6.3 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Then, water and 1N hydrochloric acid were added to make acidic (pH=4) at 0° C., and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine and dried with magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give the solid, which was washed with hexane to give 1-allyl-7-(4-propoxyethoxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1-benzazepine-4-carboxylic acid (199 mg) as yellow crystals.
