Abstract: | A route for the synthesis of (S,S)-7-amino-5-methyl-5H-dibenzo[b,d]azepin-6(7H)-one hydrochloride is disclosed. The synthesis includes a Friedel–Crafts alkylation to form the seven-membered ring and a highly efficient classical resolution. Additional studies on the enantiopure material showed the amine to be highly resistant to racemization, which led us to investigate the unexpected stability. We propose that the inherent axial chirality contained in the dibenzazepinone works to produce an interesting chirality transfer mechanism, which accounts for the observed robustness of the stereocenter. This previously unrecognized stereochemical element exists within this specific class of molecules, and they should be drawn in a manner which displays the axial chirality. |
