Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of potassium t-butoxide (1.62 g, 14.4 mmole) and 18-crown-6 (317 mg, 1.2 mmole) in THF (20 ml), a suspension of 3-methyl-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]azepine-4,8-dione (2.12 g, 12 mmole) in THF (20 ml) and a solution of methyl iodide (2.55 g, 18 mmole) in THF (5 ml) were successively added dropwise, and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature. Twenty-four hours later, a solution of-potassium t-butoxide (0.81 g, 7.2 mmole) and methyl iodide (1.28 g, 9.0 mmole) in DMF (5 ml) was added, and 24 hours later, a solution of potassium t-butoxide (0.81 g, 7.2 mmole) and methyl iodide (1.28 g, 9 mmole) in DMF (5 ml) was added further. The reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 3 hours.
