Abstract
The easy transformation of 2-(1-alkoxyethoxy)- N -(1-methylethylidene)-1-(methylsulfanyl)-1,3-butadien-1-amines (2-aza-1,3,5-trienes) into 3-(1-alkoxyethoxy)-7-methyl-2-(methylsulfanyl)-4,5-dihydro-3 H -azepines and 6-(1-alkoxyethoxy)-2-methyl-3 H -azepines has been found to proceed under the action of Bu t OK in THF–DMSO or THF; the mild acidic hydrolysis of 4,5-dihydro-3 H -azepines gives hydroxy derivatives.
