1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → (E)-4-(4-Methoxybenzyl)-7-(3-oxo-3-(3-(thiophen-2-ylmethoxy)azetidin-1-yl)prop-1-enyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrido[2,3-e][1,4]diazepin-2(3H)-one

Reaction Steps

3-(Thiophen-2-ylmethoxy)-azetidine hydrochloride (231 mg, 1.12 mmol), EDCI (215 mg, 1.12 mmol), HOBt (152 mg, 1.12 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (321 μL, 1.87 mmol) were successively added to a solution of (E)-3-(4-(4-methoxybenzyl)-2-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[2,3-e][1,4]diazepin-7-yl)acrylic acid hydrochloride (292 mg, 0.75 mmol) in dimethylformamide (20 mL) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight and then diluted by addition of ethyl acetate (30 ml) and water (30 mL). The aqueous layer was separated and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×30 mL) and dichloromethane (2×20 mL). The combined organic phases were washed with a saturated solution of sodium chloride (3×20 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to dryness. The residue was precipitated from a mixture ethyl acetate/diethyl ether to afford the title product as an off-white solid (151 mg, 40%).
