Abstract

Nitroderivatives 9a-g have been prepared with great C-8 regioselectivity by allowing the corresponding 1,2,4,5-tetrahydrospiro[3H-2-benzazepine-3,1"-cycloalkanes] 8a-g to react with potassium nitrate and concentrated H2SO4. The oxidative reaction of a nitrogen-carbon bond in spirobenzazepines 8 and 9 was performed with H2O2 and catalytic amounts of sodium tungstate at room temperature affording nitrones 10a-d in moderate to high yields. Stereochemical assignments for all the 2-benzazepine derivatives obtained were derived from a full analysis of the 1H NMR spectroscopic data and an X-ray crystallographic analysis of 1,5-dimethyl-8-nitro-1,2,4,5-tetrahydrospiro[3H-2-benzazepine-3,1"-cyclohexane] 9c. These data indicate that the 2-benzazepines 8-11 in solution present the azepine ring preferably in the chair conformation, with the methyl substituent at C-5 disposed equatorially.

Key words

2-benzazepines - regioselective nitration - homoallyl-amines - nitrones
