Reaction Steps

The bromide 20 (Bogatskii A V, et al., (1977) Pharm Chem J (Engl Transl) 11:1520-1525; Vejdelek Z, Protiva M (1983) Collect Czech Chem Commun 48:1477-1482) was reacted with trimethylsilyacetylene in the presence of a palladium catalyst to provide trimethylsilyl analog 52. This product was methylated with methyl iodide/sodium hydride to give the N-methyl benzodiazepine 54 (XLi 351). This was subjected to fluoride-mediated desilylation to furnish 53 (XLi 350) from 53 and 55 (XLi 352) from 54.
