Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Nitrobenzene (22.16 g) and 10% palladium carbon (6 g) were added to a solution of (3R)-2-oxo-3-butoxycarbonylamino-5-(2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-1,5-benzodiazepine (12.87 g) in xylene (200 ml), the mixture was refluxed for one hour and 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool, filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in ethanol (30 ml), 4N HCl-dioxane (20 ml) was added, the resultant mixture was stirred at 50° C. for one hour. After allowed to cool, crystals so precipitated were collected by filtration, the crystals were washed with 2-propanol, to thereby obtain hydrochloride of the title compound. The compound was dissolved under heating in the mixed solvent of methanol and water, allowed to cool, saturated sodium bicarbonate was added for neutralization, crystals so precipitated were collected be filtration, the crystals were washed with water and dried, to thereby obtain 5.55 g of the title compound (Yield: 86%).
