Analyzing the synthesis route of 7-Methoxy-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-azepine

The basis of chemical reaction formula synthesis, the synthesis route is composed of some specific reactions and combined according to certain logical thinking. We look forward to the emergence of more reaction modes in the future.

Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps, and cheap raw materials. 2525-16-8, name is 7-Methoxy-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-azepine, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., Application In Synthesis of 7-Methoxy-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-azepine

I. 3-Methyl-7,8,9,10-tetrahydroazepino[2,1-b]quinazolin-12(6H)-one 25 g 2-bromo-4-methylbenzoic acid was treated with 150 mL of 28% aqueous ammonia, 50 g gaseous ammonia, 1 g CuSO4 at 140 C. for 12 hours in an autoclave, then concentrated in vacuo, dissolved in a minimal amount of water, pH adjusted to 6 with 4N HCl. The precipitate was filtered, washed with ice cold water, and dried at 60 C. The residue was extracted with THF and concentrated in vacuo, giving a light brown crystalline solid. Yield of combined material: 14 g 4-methylanthranilic acid. 6.4 g of this acid was suspended with stirring in 100 mL toluene. 11 mL 1-Aza-2-methoxy-1-cycloheptene (1) (Aldrich) were added and the mixture was refluxed under a Dean-Stark trap for 12 hours. Then the toluene was removed by distillation in vacuo, followed by removal of excess (1) in vacuo (11 mm Hg) at 140 C. The dark brown residue crystallized. It was purified by column chromatography (6:1 chloroformethyl acetate) followed by recrystallization from hexane-ethyl acetate to give 7.1 g of pure 3-methyl-7,8,9,10-tetrahydroazepino[2,1-b]quinazolin-12(6H)-one as white, shiny crystals.

The basis of chemical reaction formula synthesis, the synthesis route is composed of some specific reactions and combined according to certain logical thinking. We look forward to the emergence of more reaction modes in the future.
