Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: The first N-substitution of azepane was carried out using butyl bromide as an N-alkylating agent to form 1-butylazepane. An equimolar amount of butyl bromide was added dropwise to a solution of azepane in methanol keeping the temperature at 20° C. by an ice-water bath. The mixture was hydrolyzed with potassium carbonate, extracted with ether, and dried over Na2SO4. The solution was fractionally distilled at reduced pressure and the fraction with bp 195° C. was collected. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 0.90 (t, 3H), 1.28 (sextet, 2H), 1.42 (m, 2H), 1.60 (broad m, 8H), 2.42 (m, 2H), 2.60 (m, 4H).

Procedure: Procedure 1b—Following this, a second N-substitution was carried out on the 1-butylazepane using methyl iodide as an N-alkylating agent to form 1-butyl-1-methylazepanium iodide. A slight excess of methyl iodide was added dropwise to 1-butylazepane in dichloromethane keeping the temperature below 20° C. by an ice-water bath. The reaction mixture was then allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred until complete conversion of amine (as determined using 1H NMR). Diethyl ether was then added to the reaction mixture and the white precipitate (1-butyl-1-methyl-azepanium iodide) filtered, washed with ether and dried in air. δH (300 MHz, CDCl3) 3.40 (4H, m), 3.30 (2H, m), 3.02 (3H, s), 1.90 (4H, m), 1.78 (6H, m), 1.40 (2H, m), 1.00 (3H, t).

Procedure: Procedure 1a—The first N-substitution of azepane was carried out using butyl bromide as an N-alkylating agent to form 1-butylazepane. To a stirring solution of azepane (49.97 g, 503.8 mmol) in methanol (220 cm3) cooled in an ice-water bath was added dropwise 1-bromobutane (57 cm3, 530 mmol), and then potassium carbonate (72.5 g, 524 mmol). The mixture was vigorously stirred at room temperature for 24 h. The resulting suspension was filtered through a sintered glass fret and the solution concentrated under reduced pressure at 45° C. in a rotary evaporator. A yellowish suspension was thus obtained and distilled in vacuo (45-47° C., 5.5 mmHg) to give 1-butylazepane as a colourless liquid (50.30 g, 64.3%). δH (500.13 MHz, CDCl3) 2.62 (4H, t, 3J(H,H)=5.5 Hz), 2.45 (2H, m), 1.64 (4H, br m), 1.59 (4H, br m), 1.45 (2H, m), 1.30 (2H, sextet, 3J(H,H)=7.4 Hz), 0.90 (3H, t, 3J(H,H)=7.4 Hz); δC (125.76 MHz, CDCl3) 58.2, 55.7, 29.8, 28.0, 27.1, 20.9, 14.1. ESI-MS: m/z=156 [M+H]+ (100). Calcd. for C10H22N: 156.1752; found: 156.1755. The resulting suspension was filtered through a sintered glass the solution concentrated under reduced pressure at 45° C. in a rotary evaporator A yellowish suspension was thus obtained distilled in vacuo (45-47° C., 5.5 mmHg)
