Reaction Steps

8-tert-butyl 2-methyl 10-[benzyl(methyl)amino]-3-hydroxy-4-oxo-6,7,9,10-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-d][1,4]diazepine-2,8(4H)-dicarboxylate (prepared as described in Example 11, Step 1-4) was taken in CH2Cl2/TFA (8/2 v/v) and stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Volatiles were evaporated and residue was triturated with diethyl ether. MS (ES) C18H22N4O4 requires 358. Found: 359 (M+H+). The crude organic product was dissolved in MeOH and treated with formaldehyde (3 eq.) and triethylamine (3 eq.). Acetic acid was added until pH=5.5, followed by NaCNBH3 (2 eq.), and resulting mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated to a residue which was purified on Cation Exchange Resin (Varian Mega Bond Elute SCX). After washing with MeOH, the product was collected eluting with 2N NH3 solution in MeOH. The fractions containing the desired material were concentrated under reduced pressure to yield the title compound as a yellow oil. MS (ES) C19H24N4O4 requires 372. Found: 373 (M+H+).
