Diisopropylethylamine → (E)-N-Methyl-3-(4-methyl-2-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[2,3-e][1,4]diazepin-7-yl)-N-(1-propyl-naphthalen-2-ylmethyl)acrylamide

Reaction Steps

(E)-3-(4-Methyl-2-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[2,3-e][1,4]diazepin-7-yl)acrylic acid hydrochloride (1.40 g, 1.25 mmol) was added to a solution of methyl-(1-propyl-naphthalen-2-ylmethyl)amine (0.292 g, 1.37 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (0.65 mL, 3.75 mmol) in DMF (25 mL) followed by the addition of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (0.185 g, 1.37 mmol) and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (0.263 g, 1.37 mmol). The reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature for 18 h. The reaction was quenched with H2O (70 mL) then concentrated to a yellow oil. Purification by column chromatography (silica gel, CH2Cl2/MeOH, 99:1 to 95:5) gave the title compound (0.229 g, 41%) as a glassy orange solid and as a mixture of amide rotamers: 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 10.35 (s, 1H), 8.55-8.54 (m, 1H), 8.24-8.14 (m, 1H), 7.98-7.86 (m, 5H), 7.72-7.24 (m, 3H), 3.75 (s, 2H), 3.42 (s, 2H), 3.86 (s, 2H), 2.54-2.36 (m, 6H), 2.11-2.02 (m, 2H), 1.40-1.34 (m, 2H), 1.01-0.98 (m, 3H).
