Tri-o-tolylphosphine → (E)-N-(3-Chloro-2-propoxybenzyl)-3-(3,3-dimethyl-2-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[2,3-e][1,4]diazepin-7-yl)-N-methylacrylamide

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(3-chloro-2-propoxybenzyl)-N-methylacrylamide (0.392 g, 1.47 mmol) in propionitrile (5 mL) and DMF (1 mL) was deoxygenated with Ar for 20 min. The solution was treated with diisopropylethylamine (0.40 mL, 2.33 mmol) and 7-bromo-3,3-dimethyl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-pyrido[2,3-e][1,4]diazepin-2-one (0.300 g, 1.11 mmol). The solution was deoxygenated with Ar for 20 min. Pd(OAc)2 (0.024 g, 0.111 mmol) and P(o-tol)3 (0.067 g, 0.222 mmol) were then added and the solution was deoxygenated again with Ar for 20 min. The mixture was heated to reflux for 18 h, then allowed to cool. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc (30 mL) and was washed with H2O (3×50 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine (1×100 mL), dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to an orange oil. Purification by column chromatography (silica gel, CH2Cl2/MeOH, 100 to 98:2) gave the title compound (0.30 g, 59%) as a light yellow solid and as a mixture of amide rotamers: 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 9.80-9.78 (m, 1H), 8.40-8.37 (m, 1H), 8.01-7.92 (m, 1H), 7.54-7.49 (m, 1H), 7.41-7.25 (m, 2H), 7.15-7.05 (m, 2H), 4.86-4.68 (m, 2H), 3.91-3.84 (m, 4H), 3.14-2.95 (m, 4H), 1.83-1.76 (m, 2H), 1.31-1.29 (m, 6H), 1.05-0.99 (m, 3H).
