3-Chloroaniline → N-(3-chlorophenyl)-1-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-[1,4]diazepino[1,2-a]indole-8-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-[1,4]diazepino[1,2-a]indole-8-carboxylic acid (Intermediate J, 49 mg, 0.2 mmol) in DMF (1 mL) is added [(benzotriazol-1-yloxy)-dimethylamino-methylene]dimethyl-ammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBTU) (77 mg, 0.24 mmol) and the reaction is stirred for 10 minutes. The reaction is then treated with 3-chloro-phenylamine (28 mg, 0.22 mmol) followed by triethylamine (0.10 mL, 0.7 mmol) and is stirred for 16 h. The reaction is poured into water (20 mL) and the resulting solid is filtered. The solid is dried, suspended in MTBE (20 mL) and filtered again to afford the title compound (40 mg, 56%) as an off-white solid.
