Dimethylformamide → HCID 22405260, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-methoxy-4-nitrobenzoic acid (800 mg) and catalytic amount of N,N-dimethylformamide in dichloromethane (8 ml) was added oxalyl chloride (0.7 ml) at 0° C. and the solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 30 minutes followed by the removal of solvents to give a crude acid chloride. To a solution of 1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,5-benzodiazepin-2(2H)-one (658 mg) and triethylamine (821 mg) in dichloromethane (4 ml) was added a solution of the above acid chloride in dichloromethane (4 ml) at ambient temperature and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour. The resultant mixture was filtered and the solid was washed with water and diethyl ether to give 5-(3-methoxy-4-nitrobenzoyl)-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,5-benzodiazepin-2(2H)-one (1.29 g) as a colorless prisms.
