Sodium hydride → 9-Bromo-2-(1-isopropyl-3-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-5,6-dihydrobenzo[f]imidazo[1,2-d][1,4]oxazepine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2-[2-(4-bromo-2-fluoro-phenyl)-4-(2-isopropyl-5-methyl-2H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl)-imidazol-1-yl]-ethanol (2.3 g, 5.6 mmol) in DMF (50 mL) was treated with sodium hydride (60% dispersion, 247 mg, 6.2 mmol) portionwise over 5 min and the mixture stirred at RT for 1 h. The reaction was quenched by the slow addition of water (200 mL). The precipitate formed was filtered off, washed with water to give 8-Bromo-2-(2-isopropyl-5-methyl-2H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl)-4,5-dihydro-6-oxa-1,3a-diaza-benzo[e]azulene as a white solid (1.64 g, 53%). LCMS: RT=3.43 min, [M+H]+=388/390. 1H NMR 400 MHz (CDCl3) δ: 8.37 (1H, d, J=8.61 Hz), 7.70 (1H, s), 7.26-7.25 (2H, m), 5.87-5.86 (1H, m), 4.50-4.48 (2H, m), 4.46-4.42 (2H, m), 2.42 (3H, s), 1.57 (6H, d, J=6.64 Hz)
