Synthesis of a Highly Functionalised Azepine via a New TBSOTf-Mediated Cyclisation of a Terminal Formamide
Publication History
Publication Date:
07 February 2007 (online)
Abstract
The synthesis of a highly functionalised azepine which can be further derivatised by common chemical transformations is described herein. The present synthesis comprises high-yielding reaction steps and features a new method for the synthesis of azepines via TBSOTf-mediated cyclisation of terminal formamides.

Tetrahedron 1986, 42: 5053 - 17 Very recently Hoye et al. published their remarkable results on silylative Dieckmann-like cyclisations of ester-amides which yield silylated aminals using the same reagent combination. They also discuss the mechanism of this reaction in more detail:

Procedure for the Preparation of 9.
To a solution of formamide 8 (353 mg, 912 µmol) in 10 mL anhyd CH2Cl2 were added Et3N (1.39 g, 1 mL, 13.7 mmol) and TBSOTf (1.73 g, 1.5 mL, 6.53 mmol). After stiring at r.t. for 5 d 20 mL CH2Cl2 were added and the solution was washed successively with sat. NaHCO3 solution and sat. NH4Cl solution. The organic phase was then filtered through a hydrophobic filter and concentrated. Purification of the residue via flash chromatography on silica eluting with 1:3 EtOAc in hexane afforded 170 mg (51%) of 9 as a pale yellow oil.
