Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (3-ethyl-benzofuran-2-ylmethyl)methylamine (185 mg, 0.979 mmol) and (i-Pr)2EtN (0.427 mL, 2.44 mmol) in DMF (25 mL) was treated successively with 3-(2-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[2,3-e][1,4]diazepin-7-yl)acrylic acid hydrochloride (250 mg, 0.816 mmol), HOBt (115 mg, 0.856 mmol), and EDC (316 mg, 2.44 mmol). After stirring overnight at room temperature, the mixture was diluted with water and then extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organics were washed with brine and dried, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by column chromatography (silica gel, CH2Cl2/CH3OH, 40:2 to 35:2) gave the title compound (125 mg, 37%) as a yellow solid: ESI MS m/z 405 (M+H)+.
