Procedure
A solution of 4-bromo-3-methyl benzoic acid (4.3 g, 2 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) was cooled to 0° C. under nitrogen. To this was added N,N-dimethylformamide (50 μL) followed by oxalyl chloride (2.2 mL, 25 mmol) dropwise to control the gas evolution. When the gas evolution ceased, the mixture was warmed to reflux for 5 minutes then cooled to room temperature and concentrated in vacuo. The sample was treated with tetrahydrofuran and evaporated to dryness (twice) to yield the crude acid chloride as an orange oil. A solution of 10,11-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine (3.60 g, 20 mmol) and Hunig's base (4.35 mL, 25 mmol) in dichloromethane was cooled to 0° C., and a solution of the crude acid chloride in dichloromethane (25 mL) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature, washed with 1 N hydrochloric acid, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and brine. The solution was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo to yield a solid (8.01 g) which was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 20% ethyl acetate in hexane to provide the title compound (6.03 g) as a white solid.
