Methyl iodide → 2-Chloro-7,7-difluoro-5-methyl-9-(2-thiophen-2-yl-ethyl)-5,7,8,9-tetrahydro-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-6-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.51 g (0.0015 mole) of 2-chloro-7,7-difluoro-9-(2-thiophen-2-yl-ethyl)-5,7,8,9-tetrahydro-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-6-one (VI-269) in 12 mL of dimethylformamide was added 0.58 g (0.0023 mole) of cesium carbonate, followed by 0.28 mL (0.0045 mole) of iodomethane. After stirring four hours, the mixture filtered and then concentrated under reduced pressure. Ice water and dichloromethane were added. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane twice. The combined organic layers were washed three times with sodium carbonate, three times with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 0.55 g of 2-chloro-7,7-difluoro-5-methyl-9-(2-thiophen-2-yl-ethyl)-5,7,8,9-tetrahydro-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-6-one (VII-269) as a sticky solid.
