Abstract

Treatment of γ-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)propyl isocyanate with phosphorous oxychloride followed by stannic chloride gave 1H-7,8-dimethoxy-2-benzazepin-1-one in fair yield, providing a convenient method for constructing 1H-benzazepin-1-one derivatives. Application of the procedure on β-[4-acetoxy-1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)cyclohexyl]propionic acid furnished an improved synthesis of alkaloid elwesine (dihydocrinine) isolated from Amaryllidaceae plant.
