Ammonia → (S)-7-fluoro-9-oxo-12,12a-dihydro-9H,11H-azeto[2,1-c]imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepine-1-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

100 g (348 mmol) of (S)-7-fluoro-9-oxo-12,12a-dihydro-9H,11H-azeto[2,1-c]imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepine-1-carboxylic acid were suspended in 600 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide and treated with 64.1 g (395 mmol) of 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole. After stirring at 50° for 30 minutes 80 ml of 25% ammonia were added dropwise at 13° to 20° and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes and poured into 21 of water. By suction filtration of the resulting suspension and drying the crystals there were obtained 52.7 g (76%) of (S)-7-fluoro-9-oxo-12,12a-dihydro-9H,11H-azeto[2,1-c]imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepine-1-carboxamide of m.p. 223°-224°.
