Reaction Steps

4-[(3-Cyclobutyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepin-7-yl)oxy]-3-fluorobenzonitrile (E271(150 mg, 0.45 mmol) was dissolved in a mixture of ethanol (1 ml) and water (1.5 ml), treated with sodium hydroxide (150 mg, 4.5 mmol) and heated at reflux for 2 hours. The reaction was then treated with acetic acid (0.39 ml, 6.75 mmol) and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography eluting with a mixture of 0.880 ammonia:methanol:dichloromethane (2:18:80) to afford the title compound. MS (ES+) m/e 356 [M+H]+.
