Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-chloro-9-cyclopentyl-7-fluoro-7-methyl-8,9-dihydro-5H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-6(7H)-one (3 mmol) in 10 mL of DMA was added sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 124 mg, 3.1 mmol) at 0° C., followed by the dropwise addition of methyl iodide (0.193 mL, 3.1 mmol). The reaction mixture was warmed up to rt and stirred for 1 h. The whole was poured into ice-water, extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over Na2SO4. The solution was concentrated in vacuo and used for next step reaction. [M+H] calc'd for C14H18ClFN4O, 313; found 313.
