Dimethylformamide → 2-Chloro-9-cyclobutyl-7,7-difluoro-5-methyl-5,7,8,9-tetrahydro-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-6-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 5.5 g (0.0191 mole) of 2-chloro-9-cyclobutyl-7,7-difluoro-5,7,8,9-tetrahydro-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-6-one (VI-1), 25 mL of dimethylformamide and 9.4 g (0.0287 mole) of cesium carbonate was added 10.9 g (0.0764 mole) of iodomethane. The mixture was stirred for 3 hours, then 80 mL of water was added and the solid collected by suction filtration to give 4.8 g of 2-chloro-9-cyclobutyl-7,7-difluoro-5-methyl-5,7,8,9-tetrahydro-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-6-one (VII-1).
