Dipropylamine → 7-chloro-3-(5-dipropylaminomethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-5-methyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.09 g (3 mmol) of 7-chloro-3-(5-chloromethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-5-methyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-one were stirred at room temperature for 4.5 hours with 1.02 g (10 mmol) of dipropylamine and 15 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide. By evaporation of the reaction mixture and chromatography of the residue on silica gel while eluting with ethyl acetate there were obtained 1.16 g (90%) of 7-chloro-3-(5-dipropylaminomethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-5-methyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-one, which was converted into the hydrochloride of m.p. 212°-215°.
