3-bromo-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-1-benzazepine-2-one
Preparation[2]
The synthesis methods reported in the literature mainly include: 1. Using a composite catalyst of chromium acetate and 2-methyl-5-ethylpyridine, using air as the oxidant, performing normal pressure continuous liquid phase oxidation, the reaction temperature is 130°C, and tetrahydrogen The molar ratio of naphthalene to oxygen is 1:0.6, and the residence time is 60-70 minutes. The selectivity of generating 1-tetralone is about 90%, and the main by-product is tetralone. The product is subjected to bromination, oximation and rearrangement to obtain 3-bromo-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-1-benzazepine-2-one 2.γ-benzenebutyric acid cyclization Method: γ-phenylbutyric acid is cyclized under the action of phosphoric acid/phosphoric anhydride, polyphosphoric acid, hydrofluoric acid or concentrated sulfuric acid at 90°C to obtain 1-tetralone. After bromination, oximation and rearrangement, 3-tetralone is obtained. Bromo-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-1-benzazepine-2-one. 3. γ-Benzenebutyric acid chloride cyclization method: This product is obtained by dehydrochlorination and cyclization in the presence of anhydrous aluminum trichloride or anhydrous tin tetrachloride. After bromination, oximation and rearrangement, 3-bromo-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-1-benzazepine-2-one is obtained.
The above methods mainly have the following shortcomings: 1. There are many by-products and it is inconvenient to separate the products.
2. The yield is low and the purification is complicated.
3. This route has a low yield and is not suitable for industrial production.
4. There are many reaction steps and complicated operations.
Specific synthesis method:
1) α-tetralone preparation stage
Add γ-butyrolactone, benzene, and anhydrous aluminum chloride into the dry reaction kettle at a molar ratio of 1:10:3. While stirring, slowly raise the temperature to 65°C and keep the reaction for 28 hours; the reaction is completed. After that, it is hydrolyzed by 25 parts by weight of 6% hydrochloric acid solution, separated into layers, and washed with water until neutral; then excess benzene is removed by distillation, and α-tetralone is obtained by high vacuum distillation;
2) Preparation stage of 2-bromo-3,4-dihydro-N-hydroxy-(2H)-naphthalimine
Add α-tetralone and methanol into a dry reaction kettle at a molar ratio of 1:25, and under stirring, drop bromine with a molar ratio of 1.3 at -10°C for bromination reaction; the reaction is completed Add hydroxylamine sulfate with a molar ratio of 1.6, slowly raise the temperature to 38°C, add 7 parts by weight of water to dilute and keep the reaction for 85 hours; centrifuge, wash and dry to obtain 2-bromo-3,4-dihydro-N-hydroxy-( 2H)-naphthalimine;
3) 3-Bromo-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-1-benzazepine-2-one stage
Add 5.5 parts by weight of heated and melted polyphosphoric acid into a dry reaction kettle, and add the above-mentioned 2-bromo-3,4-dihydro-N-hydroxy-(2H)- in batches under stirring at a temperature of 95°C. Naphthimine, keep warm for 5 hours; add the reaction solution dropwise to 12.5 parts by weight of water while hot for hydrolysis, centrifuge and wash to obtain 3-bromo-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-1-benzazepine Crude azo-2-one; add 10 parts by weight of methanol and 0.1 parts by weight of activated carbon, heat for decolorization and filtration, then cool the filtrate to -10°C to crystallize for 3 hours, centrifuge, wash and dry to obtain 3-bromo-1,3. 4,5-tetrahydro-2H-1-benzazepine-2-one finished product. After testing, the purity of the finished product 3-bromo-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-1-benzazepine-2-one is as high as 99.5%, and the yield is as high as 97%.
