Lithium Hydroxide → 3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-6-(5-carboxypyridin-2-ylmethylthio)-7-chloro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Dissolve 3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-7-chloro-6-(5-methoxycarbonyl-pyridin-2-ylmethylthio)-chloro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine (1.86 g, 4.03 mmol) in methanol (25 mL). Add 1M aqueous lithium hydroxide (12 mL) and stir at ambient temperature overnight. Remove methanol in vacuo, and dilute the mixture with cold 0.5M aqueous HCl to pH 4. Add brine and extract three times with EtOAc. Dry over anhydrous Na2SO4, and concentrate in vacuo to give the title compound as an off-white solid (1.78 g, 95%). MS (APCI+) m/z 449 (M+H)+, 349 (M+H−Boc)+.
