Participants

Reaction Steps

A 500 mg amount of the 6,7-dihydropyrrolo[2,3-c]azepin-4,8(1H, 5H)dione (aldisin) described in the reference (Prager, R. et al: Aust. J. Chem., 43, p. 355-365 (1990)) was added to a 20 ml dimethylformamide suspension of 252 mg of sodium hydride (60% oil). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. A 1.12 ml amount of trimethylsilylethoxymethyl chloride was added under ice cooling, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours, then a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride was added and extraction was performed by ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated saline, dried, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain a residue which was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ether acetate=6:1) to obtain 623 mg of the above-referenced compound (8) (yield 48%).
