Hexamethylphosphoramide → HCID 22749545, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.2 g of methyl 8-chloro-4,6-dihydro-1-methyl-6-phenyl-5-oxo-5H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,5]benzodiazepin-3-carboxylate, 2 g of lithium chloride and 12 ml of hexamethyl phosphoric triamide was stirred and heated up to 230°. As soon as this temperature was reached, the reaction mixture was cooled and partitioned between methylene chloride and water. The organic phase was washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated. Crystallization of the residue from ether yielded the end product which was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/hexane for analysis, mp 213°-215°.
