Sodium hydride → 5-Oxo-4-(3-piperidin-1-yl-propyl)-[1,4]diazepane-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 8.52 g (39.75 mmol) of 5-oxo-[1,4]diazepane-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester in 200 ml of N,N-dimethylacetamide was treated at 0° C. with 2.60 g (59.62 mmol) of NaH (55% in oil) in small portions. The reaction was stirred 1 h at this temperature, then the free 1-(3-chloropropyl)piperidine in 200 ml toluene was dropped in [49.6 g (250 mmol, 6.3 eq.) 1-(3-chloropropyl)piperidine hydrochloride were dissolved in 262 ml of 1 M aq. sodium hydroxide solution and extracted with toluene (200 ml). The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4]. The reaction was warmed up to room temperature and stirred over night. After 2 h at 50° C. and cooling to room temperature, the reaction was neutralized with water (50 ml), evaporated and then dissolved in sat. aq. sodium hydrogencarbonate solution/diethyl ether. After reextraction with diethyl ether, the organic phase was dried (Na2SO4), evaporated and crystallized from pentane to yield 12.08 g (90%) of the title compound as white crystals. MS: 340.2 (MH+).
