title: Two general routes to 1,4-disubstituted-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro- 1H-3-benzazepines.
abstract: [structure] Two general routes to 1,4-disubstituted-2,3,4, 5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepines are described. Both routes utilize an appropriately functionalized phenethylamino alcohol as the penultimate intermediate: the first route makes use of the reductive amination of a benzyl alkyl ketone with alpha-(aminomethyl)benzyl alcohol, while the second route utilizes the addition of a Grignard reagent to the oxazolidine derived from a substitued phenylacetaldehyde and alpha-(methylaminomethyl)benzyl alcohol. In all cases studied, the cis-1,4-disubstituted-2,3,4, 5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine was obtained as the major product.
