Reaction Steps

To a 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 (102 mg, 0.267 mmol) in methanol (2 ml), add potassium hydroxide pellets (450 mg, 8.02 mmol) and heat the mixture 3 h at 60° C. Cool to ambient temperature, add aqueous saturated ammonium chloride solution, extract three times with EtOAc, dry over anhydrous Na2SO4, and concentrate in vacuo. Dissolve the crude thiophenol thus obtained in dry DCM (2 mL) under nitrogen, and add DBU (80 □L, 0.54 mmol) and 2-fluorobenzyl bromide (65 □L, 0.54 mmol) with stirring. Stir overnight at ambient temperature, dilute with water, extract three times with EtOAc, dry over anhydrous Na2SO4, and concentrate in vacuo. Purify by chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/EtOAc (9:1) to give 3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-7-chloro-6-(2-fluorobenzylthio)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine as a yellow oil (31 mg, 25%). Use a method similar to the General Procedure 1-4 to give the title compound as a white solid. MS (ES+) m/z: 322 (M+H)+.
