Tetrahydrofuran → (RS)-N-(3,5-Difluoro-benzyl)-2-methyl-N'-(1-methyl-2-oxo-5-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[e][1,4]diazepin-3-yl)-malonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.073 g (0.3 mmol) N-(3,5-difluoro-benzyl)-2-methyl-malonamic acid in 5 ml of tetrahydrofuran 0.080 g (0.3 mmol) of (3RS)-3-amino-1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one, 0.058 g (0.3 mmol) of N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride, 0.040 g (0.3 mmol) of 1-hydroxybenzotrizole hydrate and 0.039 g (0.3 mmol) of N,N-diisopropyl-ethylamine were added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 h. After concentration in vacuo 0.5 N HCl (5 ml) was added and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (three times 5 ml). The combined organic layers were extracted with 0.5 N aqueous NaHCO3 solution, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated on the rotary evaporator. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=3:1) to yield 0.099 g (67%) of the diastereomeric mixture of title compound as white solid.
