Reaction Steps

Treat a solution of 3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-7-chloro-6-(3-methoxycarbonyl-propylthio)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine (385 mg, 0.90 mmol) in dioxane/water (1:1, 3.5 mL) with lithium hydroxide (43.0 mg, 1.01 mmol) at 80° C. for 1.5 h. Cool to ambient temperature, add aqueous saturated ammonium chloride and brine, extract three times with ethyl ether, dry over anhydrous MgSO4, and concentrate in vacuo. Dissolve the residue in DCM (3.5 mL) and add EDC (162 mg, 0.84 mmol), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (91.0 mg, 0.67 mmol), triethylamine (0.20 mL, 1.35 mmol), and dimethylamine (0.700 mL, 1.35 mmol). Stir overnight at ambient temperature. Dilute with water, extract with ethyl ether, dry over anhydrous MgSO4; and concentrate in vacuo. Purify by chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/EtOAc/methanol 60:40:1 to give 3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-7-chloro-6-(3-dimethylcarbamoyl-propylthio)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine.
