Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 5.01 g (16.1 mmol) of 4-(8-chloro-5,6-dihydro-11H-benzo[5,6]cyclohepta[1,2-b]pyridin-11-ylidene)pyridine, 2.19 g (15.7 mmol) of isonicotinic acid N-oxide, and 2.33 g (17.2 mmol) of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate in 30 mL of dry methylene chloride at -15° C. and under a nitrogen atmosphere was added dropwise over 25 minutes a solution of 3.26 g (16.9 mmol) of 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride in 60 mL of dry methylene chloride. The reaction mixture was slowly allowed to warm to room temperature. After 3 hours the mixture was poured into a solution of 10% aqueous sodium dihydrogen phosphate and extracted three times with methylene chloride. The combined organic portions were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give a product which was purified via flash chromatography and recrystallized using isopropyl ether to give 1.35 gms (82%) of 1-(4 -pyridinyl carbonyl)-4-(8-chloro-5,6-dihydro-11H-benzo[5,6]cyclohepta[1,2-b]pyridin-11-ylidene)piperidine N1 -oxide as a white solid (228° C. dec).
