Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a 4:1 mixture of 3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-7-chloro-6-dimethylcarbamoylthio-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine and 3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-7,9-dichloro-6-dimethylcarbamoylthio-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-benzo[d]azepine (108 mg, 0.281 mmol) in methanol (3 ml), add potassium hydroxide pellets (504 mg, 9.0 mmol) and heat the mixture 2 h at 50° C. Cool the reaction to ambient temperature, add 2-chloromethylthiophene (186 μL, 1.406 mmol), and continue stirring for 30 min. Dilute with EtOAc and water. Separate the layers and extract the aqueous layer three times with EtOAc, dry over anhydrous Na2SO4, and concentrate in vacuo. Purify by chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/EtOAc (19:1) to give 3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-7-chloro-6-(thiophen-2-ylmethylthio)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-benzo[d]azepine as a colorless oil (36 mg, 31%).
