Reaction Steps

Scheme 1 shows a general method for preparation of 3,4-dihydrobenzo[b]oxepin-5(2H)-one intermediates 66 by O-alkylation of a phenolic compound with ethyl 4-bromobutanoate to give a ethyl 4-phenoxybutanoate intermediate 67, followed by saponification to the carboxylic acid 68 and intramolecular cyclization under acidic conditions.
