Trifluoroacetic acid → 4-[(9-cyclopentyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5-methyl-6-oxospiro[5H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepine-7,1'-cyclopropan]-2-yl)amino]-3-methoxybenzoic acid

Reaction Steps

2′-Chloro-9′-cyclopentyl-5′-methyl-8′,9′-dihydrospiro[cyclopropane-1,7′-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin]-6′(5′H)-one (Intermediate 2) (0.70 g, 2.5 mmol, 1 eq), 4-amino-3-methoxybenzoic acid (1.25 g, 7.5 mmol, 3 eq) and TFA (1.43 g, 12.5 mmol, 5 eq) were heated to reflux in TFE (25 mL) for 18 hours. Solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the resulting residue was triturated with MeOH to give 4-(9′-cyclopentyl-5′-methyl-6′-oxo-5′,6′,8′,9′-tetrahydrospiro[cyclopropane-1,7′-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepine]-2′-ylamino)-3-methoxybenzoic acid (0.81 g, 74%).
