A four step asymmetric synthesis of 1,4-di- and 1,1,4-trisubstituted enantiomerically pure tetrahydro-3-benzazepines is described. Tricyclic oxazolobenzazepinones trans-9 and cis-10 allow the introduction of different alkyl groups (methyl, ethyl, allyl) with high diastereoselectivity (dr > 99:1). The relative configuration of the new stereogenic center was determined by NOE experiments. Tricyclic lactams trans-9 and cis-10 were also used for the introduction of two substituents and, moreover, the establishment of spiro-cyclic rings. Reduction of the substitution products 11 and 12 with AlCl3/LiAlH4 (1:3) took place with retention of configuration and the final hydrogenolytic removal of the N-(2-hydroxy-1-phenylethyl) residue provided enantiomerically pure 1,4-di- and 1,1,4-trisubstituted tetrahydro-3-benzazepines 17 and ent-17. In receptor binding studies with radioligands, the 3-benzazepines 17a-g and ent-17a-g did not show any interactions with cri, sigma(1), sigma(2) or NMDA receptors. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
