Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 60% sodium hydride in oil (0.3 g) in dimethylformamide (50 ml) was added dropwise 3-methyl-1,2,4-triazole (0.45 g). After hydrogen gas evolution ceased, 4-fluoro-2-trifluoromethyl-phenyl-(5H,11H-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]-benzodiazepine-10-yl)-methanone (1.76 g) was added and the reaction mixture was heated in a sand bath at 110° C. for 18 hours. The mixture was poured onto ice, diluted with brine, and extracted with dichloromethane. The combined extracts were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered through a short column of anhydrous sodium magnesium silicate. The solution was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was triturated with diethyl ether to give 0.81 g of the title compound as colorless crystals, m.p. 148-150° C., MS m/z: 438.2 (M+H)+, 875.8 (2M+H)+.
