Synthesis of Methyl 7,9-Dimethyl-5-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[b]azepine-1-carboxylate and Its Analogues
2014
A high-yielding five-step synthesis of the title compound, methyl 7,9-dimethyl-5-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1 H -benzo[ b ]azepine-1-carboxylate, starting from 2,4-dimethylaniline was developed. This synthesis involved N-alkylation of 2,4-dimethylaniline with ethyl 4-bromobutyrate to obtain ethyl 4-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)amino]butanoate. Carbamoylation of the latter followed by hydrolysis of the resulting ester provided 4-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)(methoxycarbonyl)amino]butanoic acid. Activation of the carboxylic acid using thionyl chloride followed by intramolecular cyclization via a Friedel–Crafts reaction using aluminum trichloride provided the title compound in good yield. Analogues of the title compound were also prepared similarly.
