Hydrochloric Acid → (S)-8-chloro-1-(5-dibutylaminomethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-11,12,13,13a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,5-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepin-9-one hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.01 g (4.16 mmol) of (S)-8-chloro-1-(5-dibutylaminomethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-11,12,13,13a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,5-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepin-9-one in 20 ml of ethanol were treated with 1.12 ml (4.14 mmol) of 3.70N ethanolic hydrochoric acid. After stirring at room temperature for 10 minutes the solution obtained was completely freed from the solvents. The residue was recrystallized from ethanol/ether. There were obtained 1.99 g (92%) of (S)-8-chloro-1-(5-dibutylaminomethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-11,12,13,13a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,5-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepin-9-one hydrochloride (1:1) as white crystals; m.p. 163°-165° and [α]D20 =+23.2° (MeOH, c=1%).
