Participants

Reaction Steps

Dissolve 6-hydroxy-7-methyl-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine (1.0 g, 3.66 mmol) in acetone (50 mL). Add potassium carbonate (1.517 g, 10.98 mmol) and dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride (0.904 g, 7.32 mmol). Heat the mixture at reflux overnight. Remove the solvent in vacuo and partition the residue between water and DCM. Dry the organic phase over Na2SO4, filter and concentrate. Purify by chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/EtOAc (1:0 and 9:1) to obtain the desired intermediate as a solid (1.18 g, 90%). MS (ES+) m/z: 361 (M+H)+.
