Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-N-1,3-diazepan-2-ylidene-5-nitroaniline (5.0 g, 19.6 mmol) and potassium t-butoxide (440 mg, 3.93 mmol) were dissolved in N,N-dimethylsulfoxide (100 mL), and heated at 60° C. for 24 hr. After cooling to room temperature, to the reaction mixture was directly purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with a 50-100% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture to give the title compound (3.63 g, 14.3 mmol, 73%) as a yellow amorphous.
