Reaction Steps

To a solution of 9-(5-{5-chloro-6-[(1-methylethyl)oxy]-3-pyridinyl}-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,4-benzoxazepine hydrochloride (Preparation 90) (80 mg, 0.189 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 ml) was added N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.066 ml, 0.378 mmol) followed by ethyl 3-bromopropanoate (0.048 ml, 0.378 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 80° C. overnight. A further 1 equivalent of N,N-diisopropylethylamine and ethyl 3-bromopropanoate were added and heating continued overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica. Elution with 40-60% ethyl acetate in cyclohexane to give the title compound as an olive green coloured oil (28 mg).
