Reaction Steps

A suspension of 8-benzyl-3-chloro-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrazino[2,3-f][1,4]oxazepine (498 mg), N-methylpropan-2-amine (0.29 mL), Pd2(dba)3 (50 mg), XPhos (104 mg) and sodium tert-butoxide (348 mg) in toluene (5 mL) was stirred under an argon atmosphere with heating at 100° C. for 3 hr. Water was added to the reaction mixture, the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by basic silica gel column chromatography (solvent gradient: 9→50% ethyl acetate/hexane), and further by preparative HPLC to give the title compound (79 mg, 14%) as a pale-yellow oil.
