Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-3-nitro-benzoic acid methyl ester (500 mg, 2.32 mmol) was dissolved in n-butanol (2.5 ml). Na2CO3 (246 mg, 2.32 mmol) was added followed by N, methylethylenediamine (204 μL, 2.32 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to 80° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was cooled and diluted with water (50 ml). The resulting mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL), dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. Silica gel chromatography (0-100% EtOAc in hexanes) afforded 1-Methyl-9-nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-benzo[e][1,4]diazepin-5-one as a bright orange solid (114 mg, 24%). Cmp 183-184° C.; LCMS: m/z=222.25 (M+H+) 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.68 (bs, 1H), 8.32 (dd, J=8.4 Hz, 1.8 Hz, 1H), 8.15 (dd, J=7.8 Hz, 1.5 Hz, 1H), 6.78 (t, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 3.79 (m, 2H), 3.63 (m, 2H), 3.20 (s, 3H).
