Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution containing (3-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-2-oxo-2,3,4,7-tetrahydroazepin-1-yl) acetic acid methyl ester, 2, (0.57 g, 2.0 mmol) in 10 mL of CH2Cl2 is treated with 2.5 mL of wet TFA and stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The solution is concentrated in vacuo and treated with saturated NaHCO3. Solid NaCl is added to the resulting aqueous solution and the solution is extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to afford the desired intermediate which can be used without further purification.
