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

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.99 g (3 mmol) of 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 overnight in 1.2 g (16 mmol) of diethylamine 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/methanol 9/1 there was obtained 0.9 g (81%) of 3-(5-diethylaminomethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-5-methyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-one of m.p. 153°-154°, which was converted into the hydrochloride.
