Diisopropylethylamine → HCID 10132459, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 10,11-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine (7.32 g) and diisopropylethylamine (13.6 ml) in dichloromethane (35 ml) was added under nitrogen the cloudy solution of 2-chloro-4-cyanobenzoyl chloride. After one hour at room temperature, the mixture was diluted with dichloromethane and washed sequentially with water, 5% sodium bicarbonate, and 50% saturated brine, After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was removed in vacuo to afford a crude product (18.0 g). Purification by column chromatography on silica gel (250 g), eluting with 20% ethyl acetate/hexane, followed by 25% ethyl acetate/hexane, yielded the title compound (13.56 g) as a straw yellow foam, MS (EI), m/z: 347 (M)+.
