Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-butyl 9-(2-methylpropyl)-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzoxazepine-4(5H)-carboxylate (260 mg, 0.937 mmol), ethyl acetate (2 ml) and 4N hydrogen chloride-ethyl acetate solution (4 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from a mixed solvent of methanol and ether to give the desired product (192 mg, 93.7%) as a solid.
