Bromopinacolone → 1-tert-butylcarbonylmethyl-2-oxo-3-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-5-cyclohexyl-8-methyl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-1,5-benzodiazepine

Participants

Reaction Steps

60% Sodium hydride (53 mg) was suspended in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (5 ml), under ice-cooling 2-oxo-3-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-5-cyclohexyl-8-methyl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-1,5-benzodiazepine (410 mg) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. Subsequently, bromomethyl-tert-butyl ketone (217 mg) was added to the mixture under ice-cooling, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. Ice-water was added to the reaction mixture, extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, to thereby 517 mg of the title compound (Yield: 100%).
