7-Hydroxy-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-benzo[d]azepine-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (PCT Int. Appl. (2002), WO 02/40471) (790 mg, 3 mmol), potassium carbonate (1.24 g, 9 mmol) and catalytic potassium iodide were suspended in 2-butanone (20 ml). Benzyl bromide (536 μL, 4.5 mmol) was added and the mixture heated at reflux for 24 hours. The solids were filtered and then washed with acetone. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the crude oil purified by column chromatography, eluting with a mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane (1:4) to afford the title compound (D1) (1.06 g, 100%), 1H NMR (CDCl3) 7.44 (5H, m), 7.03 (1H, d, J 8.1 Hz), 6.77 (1H, s), 6.74 (1H, dd, J 8.1 & 2.4 Hz), 3.49 (4H, m), 2.84 (4H, m), 1.48 (9H, s).
