Reaction Steps

Dissolve 3-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-7-chloro-6-(thiazol-5-ylmethyleneamino)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine (228 mg, 0.58 mmol) in methanol (10 mL), add sodium borohydride (263 mg, 7 mmol) and reflux for 28 h. Cool to ambient temperature, dilute with EtOAc and add slowly water. Separate the organic layer, extract the aqueous layer three times with EtOAc. Combine the organic extracts, dry over Na2SO4, filter and concentrate in vacuo. Purify by chromatography on silica gel eluting with EtOAc/hexane (1:3) to give the desired intermediate as a colorless oil (134 mg, 58%). MS (ES+) m/z: 394 (M+H)+.
