Potassium Carbonate → (E)-but-2-enedioic acid;4-methyl-2-[2-(2-methylpyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl]-2,3-dihydropyrido[3,2-f][1,4]oxazepine-5-thione;propan-2-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 5.0 g (0.019 mole) of 2-(chloroethyl)-2,3-dihydro-4-methylpyrido[3,2-f]-1,4-oxazepine-5(4H)-thione in 25 ml of absolute ethanol was added 3.5 g (0.04 mole) of 2-methylpyrrolidine. The mixture was heated to reflux for 6.5 hr and left standing at room temperature overnight. Mass spec and TLC showed presence of starting materials. Approximately 5 g of potassium carbonate was added and heating at reflux was continued for 24 hr. Ethanol was removed by rotary evaporation (70° C., 30 mm). The residue was taken up in 100 ml of methylene chloride and washed with 2×50 ml dil. aqueous sodium hydroxide. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated by rotary evaporation (70° C., 30 mm). The residual syrup was dissolved in isopropyl alcohol and treated with fumaric acid affording 4.5 g (0.01 mole, 49.2%) of crude crystals. Two recrystallizations from isopropyl afforded 1.5 g (16.4%) of yellow crystals, m.p., 92°-95° C.
