Triethylamine → N-[4-[(4,5-Dihydro-2-methylpyrazolo[4,3-d] [1]benzazepin-6(2H)-yl)carbonyl]phenyl]-2-methylbenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 0.420 g of 2,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2-methyl-6-(4-aminobenzoyl)pyrazolo[4,3-d][1]-benzazepine and 275 μl of triethylamine in 6 ml of methylene chloride and 2 ml of dioxane is added a solution of 215 μl of 2-methylbenzoyl chloride in 1.5 ml of dioxane. The reactants are stirred under argon for 4.5 hours. The volatiles are evaporated in vacuo to a residue which is dissolved in methylene chloride and washed with 10% NaHCO3 and brine. The organic layer is treated with activated carbon, dried with MgSO4 and evaporated an vacuo to give 660 mg of a tan foam residue. The residue is purified by column chromatography on silica gel by elution with 30% ethyl acetate-methylene chloride to give 590 mg of the desired product as white crystalline solid, m.p. 246°-248° C.; HR FABMS: (M+H)=437.1972.
