Benzyl Bromide → 3-(3-benzylaminomethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)-5-methyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.93 g (3 mmol) of 3-(3-aminomethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)-5-methyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-one was stirred at room temperature overnight with 0.51 g (3 mmol) of benzyl bromide and 0.52 g (4 mmol) of N-ethyldiisopropylamine in 10 ml of methylene chloride. By evaporation of the solvent and chromatography of the residue on silica gel while eluting with ethyl acetate/methanol 6/1 there was obtained 3-(3-benzylaminomethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)-5-methyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-one, which was converted into the hydrochloride (0.25 g: 17%) of m.p. 195°-198°.
