Synthesis

File:Tolazamide synthesis.png

para-Toluenesulfonamide is converted to its carbamate with ethyl chloroformate in the presence of a base. Heating that intermediate with 1-amino-azepane leads to the displacement of the ethoxy group and the formation of tolazemide:

Azepane proper would lead to [13078-23-4].
