Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Oxo-3-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-5-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)-8-methyl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-1,5-benzodiazepine (1.74 g) was suspended in toluene (24 ml), 2-bromo-2′-methylacetophenone (1.12 g), 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide (12 ml) and tetra n-butylammonium bromide (20 mg) were added, the mixture was stirred for one day at room temperature. The reaction mixture was weakly acidified with 1N hydrochloric acid, extracted with methylene chloride. The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography(chloroform:ethyl acetate=9:1), to thereby obtain 1.25 g of the titled compound.
