Reaction Steps

A mixture of 311 mg (1 mmol) of ethyl (S)-11,12,13,13a-tetrahydro-9-oxo-9H-imidazo[1,5-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine-1-carboxylate, 66 mg of potassium cyanide and 10 ml of absolute methanol is heated to boiling under reflux for 6 hours. The mixture is concentrated, a small amount of water is added, the mixture is extracted three times with 10 ml of chloroform each time, dried over magnesium sulphate, evaporated and recrystallised from ethyl acetate/hexane. There is obtained methyl (S)-11,12,13,13a-tetrahydro-9-oxo-9H-imidazo[1,5-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine-1-carboxylate of melting point 165°-167° C.
