Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.47 g of chloroacetyl chloride in 20 ml of dioxane is added dropwise with stirring to 1.9 g of 1,3-dimethyl-1,4,9,10-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-b][1,5]benzodiazepin-10-one, 5.5 g of powdered anhydrous potassium carbonate and 50 ml of dioxane in the course of 10 minutes at 50° C. The obtained mixture is stirred for several hours; precipitate is then filtered off, and the filtrate is concentrated to dryness. 1.75 g (69%) of the title compound of m.p. 267° to 269° C. (from acetonitrile) are obtained.
