Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-9-cyclopentyl-7,7-difluoro-8,9-dihydro-5H-pyrimido[5,4-b][1,4]diazepin-6(7H)-one (550 mg, 1.82 mmol) was dissolved in DMA (10 mL) and cooled in an ice bath. Sodium hydride (80 mg of 60% in mineral oil, 2 mmol) was added slowly and left to stir for 10 minutes. Methyl iodide (0.125 mL, 2 mmol) was then added and the reaction mixture was warmed up to room temperature. After 30 minutes the reaction was deemed complete by LCMS, poured into ice water, the solution extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer washed with brine and water, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated to give 2-chloro-9-cyclopentyl-7,7-difluoro-5-methyl-8,9-dihydro-5H-pyrimido[5,4-b][1,4]diazepin-6(7H)-one as a brown residue which was used directly for next step. [M+H] calc'd for C13H15ClF2N4O, 317; found 317.
