Participants

Reaction Steps

In DMF (4.5 ml) was dissolved 4-(4-bromo-2-formylisopropylanilino)butyric acid (0.9 g). To the solution was added potassium carbonate (0.49 g), followed by addition of methyl iodide (0.2 ml) and stirring at room temperature 1 hour. To the mixture was added dimethyl carbonate (9 ml), followed by addition of a 28% sodium methoxide/methanol solution (1.27 g) and stirring at 50° C. for 1 hour. After cooled to room temperature, the mixture was neutralized with 2N hydrochloric acid, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine and dried with magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=20/1→6/1) to give methyl 7-bromo-1-isopropyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzazepine-4-carboxylate (0.50 g).
