Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (60% in oil, 44 mg) was suspended in of DMF (8 ml), and was cooled to 0° C. in an ice water bath. 8-Methoxy-1-methyl-1,5-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]diazepine-2,4-dione (220 mg) was added thereto at the same temperature, and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for an hour. Ethyl iodide (187 mg) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Water was added to the reaction liquid, followed by extraction by ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, and condensed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=4:1→1:1). The purified product was condensed to dryness to give the title compound (190.2 mg) as a yellow solid.
