Diisopropylethylamine → HCID 10157474, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of the carboxylic acid of Step B (1.0 g, 4.38 mmol) in thionyl chloride (6 mL) was heated at reflux for 1 hour. After cooling, the thionyl chloride was removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in toluene and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude acid chloride as a light brown solid. The acid chloride was then dissolved in dichloromethane (10 mL) and slowly added to a solution of 10,11-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine (1.2 g, 6.52 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethyl amine (1.7 mL, 9.76 mmol) in dichloromethane (25 mL). After stirring for 2 hours, the reaction was quenched with water. The organic layer was washed with 1N hydrochloric acid, 1N sodium hydroxide and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give a yellow foam. Purification of the residue by flash chromatography using a solvent gradient from 15% to 50% of ethyl acetate in hexane provided the title compound (1.5 g, 86.8%) as a white solid, m.p. 187–189° C.
