Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-9-cyclopentyl-5,7,7-trimethyl-8,9-dihydro-5H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-6(7H)-one (Intermediate 3) (0.35 g, 1.14 mmol, 1 eq), 4-amino-3-methoxybenzoic acid (0.57 g, 3.42 mmol, 3 eq) and TFA (0.42 mL, 5.7 mmol, 5 eq) were heated to reflux in TFE (10 mL) for 36 hours. Solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the resulting residue was triturated with EtOAc to give 4-(9-cyclopentyl-5,7,7-trimethyl-6-oxo-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-2-ylamino)-3-methoxybenzoic acid (0.38 g, 76%).
