Tolazamide is an oral blood glucose lowering drug used for people with Type 2 diabetes. It is part of the sulfonylurea family (ATC A10BB).
Synthesis

The reaction between p-toluenesulfonamide (1) and ethyl chloroformate (2) in the presence of base gives tosylurethane [5577-13-9] (3). Heating that intermediate with azepane (4) leads to the displacement of the ethoxy group and the formation of tolazemide (5).[1][2][3][4][5]
Azepane proper would lead to [13078-23-4].
