Triethylamine → methyl 1-(4-ethoxybenzoyl)-4-(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)-2,3,4,5tetrahydro-1H-[1,4]benzodiazepine-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.270 g of methyl 4-(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-[1,4]benzodiazepine-3-carboxylate of Reference Example 12, 0.291 g of 4-ethoxybenzoyl chloride and 500 μl of triethylamine in 5 ml of CH2Cl2 was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 and H2O and the CH2Cl2 layer was separated and concentrated to dryness. The residue was triturated with ethyl acetate to give 0.276 g of methyl 1-(4-ethoxybenzoyl)-4-(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)-2,3,4,5tetrahydro-1H-[1,4]benzodiazepine-3-carboxylate as white crystals, (mp 187-190° C.).
