Reaction Steps

To a solution of 9-(5-{3-chloro-4-[(1-methylethyl)oxy]phenyl}-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,4-benzoxazepine hydrochloride (Example 31) (260 mg, 0.62 mmol) in acetonitrile (15 ml) was added N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.214 ml, 1.23 mmol) followed by ethyl 3-bromopropanoate (0.158 ml, 1.231 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 80° C. overnight. A further 1 equiv. of N,N-diisopropylethylamine and ethyl 3-bromopropanoate were added and heating continued overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled and evaporated. Purification of the residue by column chromatography, eluting with 50-65% ethyl acetate in cyclohexane to give the title compound as a yellow oil (80 mg).
