Reaction Steps

A mixture of (E)-6-((dimethylamino)methylene)-6,11-dihydro-5H-dipyrido[2,3-b :4′,3′-f]azepin-5-one (0.303 g), 1-(3-chlorobenzyl)guanidinium chloride (0.500 g) and sodium ethoxide (21% solution in ethanol) (0.5 mL) in absolute ethanol (15 mL) was refluxed in for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and poured into ethyl acetate (150 mL), washed with water (200 mL), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure to yield a brown solid. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, gradient 100% ethyl acetate to 5% methanol in dichloromethane) to give the pure desired product, N-(3-chlorobenzyl)-9H-dipyrido[2,3-b:4′,3′-f]pyrimido[4,5-d]azepin-2-amine as a bright yellow solid (0.134 g). M.p.=195-196° C.; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) 400 MHz δ 8.46-8.07 (m, 7H), 7.42-7.28 (m, 4H), 7.09 (brs, 1H), 4.58 (s, 2H); LCMS (M+H)=387.
