Cesium carbonate → (+/-)-7-chloro-6-[1-(5-methylthiophen-2-yl)ethylamino]-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Use a method similar to the General Procedure 5-1 to couple 7-chloro-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)-6-trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine (96 mg, 0.227 mmol) with (±)-2-(1-aminoethyl)-5-methylthiophene (48 mg, 0.34 mmol) using palladium(II) acetate (10 mg, 0.0454 mmol), BINAP (60 mg, 0.0908 mmol) and cesium carbonate (148 mg, 0.454 mmol) in toluene (10 mL). Purify by chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/EtOAc (1:0, 19:1) to give (±)-7-chloro-6-[1-(5-methylthiophen-2-yl)ethylamino]-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine as an oil (47 mg, 50%). GC-MS m/z 416 (M+).
