Reaction Steps

1,1-Dimethylethyl 7-{[4-[(methylamino)carbonyl]-2-(methyloxy)phenyl]oxy}-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-3H-3-benzazepine-3-carboxylate (E264, Step 5) (100 mg, 0.23 mmol) was dissolved in dry dichloromethane (2 ml), treated with trifluoroacetic acid (1 ml) and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue dissolved in methanol and applied to a SCX column eluting with methanol and then a mixture of 0.880 ammonia:methanol (1:9). The basic fractions were combined and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound (78 mg); MS (ES+) m/e 327 [M+H]+.
