Procedure

To a stirred solution of 1.5M lithium diisopropylamide in cyclohexane (1.37 mL, 2.05 mmol) in dry THF (5 mL) at −78° C. under dry nitrogen, add a solution of 3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-7-chloro-6-cyanomethylthio-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]-azepine (600 mg, 1.70 mmol) in THF (5 mL) and continue stirring for 2 h. Rapidly transfer the above solution via cannula to a solution of ethyl iodide (13.2 g, 84.9 mmol) in THF (5 mL) and continue stirring for 1 h. Quench with aqueous saturated ammonium chloride solution, 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-(1-cyanopropylthio)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine as a pale oil (350 mg, 68%). Use a method similar to the General Procedure 1-4 to give the title compound as an off-white solid. MS (ES+) m/z: 281 (M+H)+.
