N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone → HCID 22609243, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 500 ml balloon flask, equipped with a shaker, refrigeration and nitrogen feeding, we add 10.8 g (27.1 mmol) of 4-benzyl-7-bromo-1-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-4H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-5-one (example 164) in 100ml of N-methylpyrrolidinone (NMP). We add 4.4 g (49 mmol) of cuprous cyanide then heat the mixture, under shaking and under nitrogen for 12 hours. The solvent is eliminated by evaporation under vacuum; the residue is stirred in mixture of methylene chloride and 2N ammonia solution, the insoluble residue is eliminated by filtration, then the phases are separated by decantation. The organic phase is washed in a NaCl-saturated solution, dried on Na2SO4 and evaporated to give 24.0 g of crude product. This is purified by chromatography on silica column by elution using mixture of ethyl acetate 65/cyclohexane 35. The fractions pure in CCM are joined and evaporated under vacuum: we obtain 8.4 g of compound from example 237.
