Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(2-isobutoxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-N-methylacrylamide (0.387 g, 1.40 mmol) in propionitrile (5 mL) and DMF (1 mL) was deoxygenated with Ar for 20 min. Then treated with diisopropylethylamine (0.39 mL, 2.25 mmol) and 7-bromo-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-pyrido[2,3-e][1,4]diazepin-2-one (0.300 g, 1.07 mmol). The solution was deoxygenated with Ar for 20 min. Then Pd(OAc)2 (0.024 g, 0.10 mmol) and P(o-tol)3 (0.065 g, 0.21 mmol) were added and the solution deoxygenated with Ar for 20 min. The solution was heated to reflux for 18 h, then allowed to cool. The solution was diluted with H2O (30 mL) and was washed with EtOAc (3×50 mL). The organics were washed with brine (2×100 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to an orange-brown semi-solid. Purification by column chromatography (silica gel, CH2Cl2 to CH2Cl2/MeOH, 100 to 95:5) gave the title compound (0.10 g, 23%) as an yellow-orange solid and as a mixture of amide rotamers: 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 10.08-10.06 (m, 1H), 8.44-8.39 (m, 1H), 8.02-7.95 (m, 1H), 7.53-7.48 (m, 1H), 7.30-7.25 (m, 1H), 7.04-6.93 (m, 2H), 6.66-6.41 (m, 1H), 4.79-4.64 (m, 2H), 3.91-3.87 (m, 2H), 3.79 (s, 3H), 3.71-3.61 (m, 4H), 3.11-2.87 (m, 4H), 2.03-1.99 (m, 1H), 1.00-0.97 (m, 6H); MS (ESI) m/e 439 (M+H)+.
