Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In toluene (100 ml), ethanol (10 ml) and water (10 ml) were suspended methyl 7-bromo-2,3-dihydro-1-benzazepine-4-carboxylate (3.0 g), 4-propoxyethoxyphenyl borate (3.1 g) and potassium carbonate (3.8 g), and the suspension was stirred for 30 minutes under argon atmosphere. Then, to the suspension was added tetrakistriphenylphosphinepalladium (860 mg), and the mixture was heated at 100° C. for 8 hours under argon atmosphere. After allowing to cool, water was added thereto, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine and dried with magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=3:1) to give the solid, which was washed with hexane to give methyl 7-(4-propoxyethoxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1-benzazepine-4-carboxylate (2.59 g) as yellow crystals.
