Water → 1-Ethyl-7-hydroxy-3,3,5-trimethyl-1,5-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]diazepine-2,4-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 1.0 M boron tribromide/dichloromethane solution (1.22 ml) was added to a dichloromethane solution (3 ml) of 1-ethyl-7-methoxy-3,3,5-trimethyl-1,5-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]diazepine-2,4-dione (169 mg) at 0° C., and stirred at room temperature overnight. Water and methanol were added to the reaction mixture and extraction with the mixture solvent (dichloromethane:methanol=10:1) was performed. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure to give the title compound(156.4 mg) as a white powder.
