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

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.3 g (0.0082 mole) of 2-chloro-7,7-difluoro-9-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-5-methyl-5,7,8,9-tetrahydro-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-6-one (VII-291) and 0.3 mL of anisole in 10 mL of trifluoroacetic acid was heated at 85 degrees in a pressure tube for 24 hours. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, a small amount of methanol was added followed by ether. The resulting solid was collected by filtration and washed with ether to give 0.26 g of 2-chloro-7,7-difluoro-5-methyl-5,7,8,9-tetrahydro-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-6-one (VII-292). as a lightly yellow solid.
