Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-7-(diethylamino)-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-3H-[1,4]diazepino[1,2-a]benzimidazol-3-one (83.5 mg, 0.200 mmol) in dimethylformamide (1 mL) was added sodium hydride (60%, 20.0 mg, 0.500 mmol) at room temperature. After 15 min, methyl iodide (62.3 μL, 1.00 mmol) was added. After 1 h, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a 0-50% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture and by preparative NH TLC eluting with a 33% ethyl acetate/n-hexane mixture to give the title compound as a colorless solid (5.0 mg, 0.0115 mmol, 5.7%).
