Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1-[10-chloro-1-(2-chloro-4-methoxyphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-[1,3]diazepino[1,2-a]benzimidazol-7-yl]propan-1-ol (136 mg, 0.325 mmol) in pyridine (1.0 mL) was added acetic anhydride (92.2 μL, 0.975 mmol) at room temperature. After 24 h, the reaction mixture was quenched with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate, diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, hydrochloric acid (1 M) and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtrated, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a 10-50% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture to give the title compound as a colorless solid (125 mg, 0.270 mmol, 83%). Analytically pure material was obtained by recrystallization from ethyl acetate/hexane.
