Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice cooled solution of 0.48 g (0.0016 mole) of (rac)-2-chloro-9-cyclohexyl-7-methyl-5,7,8,9-tetrahydro-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-6-one (VI-18), 0.2 mL (0.0032 mole) of iodomethane and 5 mL of dimethylformamide was added 0.13 g (0.0032 mole) of 60% oil dispersion of sodium hydride. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, then 100 mL of water was added and the mixture was extracted with twice with 100 mL of ethyl acetate. The organic layers were washed with 100 mL of brine, combined, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with dichloromethane-ethyl acetate (85:15), followed by recrystallization from dichloromethane-hexanes to give 0.41 g of (rac)-2-chloro-9-cyclohexyl-5,7-dimethyl-5,7,8,9-tetrahydro-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-6-one (VII-19) as white needles.
