Procedure: To a 4:1 mixture of 3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-7-chloro-6-dimethylcarbamoylthio-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine and 3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-7,9-dichloro-6-dimethylcarbamoylthio-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine (200 mg, 0.52 mmol) in methanol (5 mL) under nitrogen, add potassium hydroxide (0.9 g, 16.1 mmol) at ambient temperature. When the mixture becomes homogenous, heat at 55-60° C. for 2-3 h, until TLC shows the disappearance of starting material. Cool to ambient temperature, add aqueous saturated ammonium chloride, extract three times with diethyl ether, dry over anhydrous MgSO4, and concentrate in vacuo. Dissolve the crude 3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-7-chloro-6-mercapto-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine in anhydrous THF (5 mL) under nitrogen and add with stirring 1.0 M potassium t-butoxide in THF (1.0 mL) at ambient temperature. After 10 min, add 2-(2-iodoethoxy)propane (223 mg, 1.04 mmol), and allow the reaction to continue overnight. Dilute with aqueous saturated ammonium chloride, extract the mixture three times with diethyl ether, dry over anhydrous MgSO4, and concentrate in vacuo. Purify by chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/EtOAc (12:1) to provide 3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-7-chloro-6-(2-isopropoxy-ethylthio)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine as a clear oil (127 mg, 63%). Use a method similar to the General Procedure 1-4 to give the title compound as a white solid. MS (ES+) m/z: 300 (M+H)+.

Procedure: In a round bottom flask was placed 3-nitro-1H-pyrazole (prepared in example 3, 315 mg, 2.79 mmol) and dry N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL). This solution was then treated with sodium hydride (95%, 80 mg, 3.35 mmol) and gas evolution occurred. It was then stirred another 15 min at 25° C. 2-(2-Iodo-ethoxy)-propane (896 mg, 4.18 mmol) was then added to the reaction mixture and the reaction was stirred at 25° C. for 6 h. The reaction was then diluted with ethyl acetate (10 mL) and washed with water (2×10 mL). The aqueous layers were then combined and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×10 mL). The organic layers were combined and washed with a saturated aqueous brine solution (10 mL) and then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Purification on an AnaLogix Intelliflash system (12 g column, 25% ethyl acetate/hexanes to 35% ethyl acetate/hexanes) afforded 1-(2-isopropoxy-ethyl)-3-nitro-1H-pyrazole (428 mg, 77%) as a light yellow oil.
