Sodium hydride → 7-bromo-4-(pyrimidin-2-ylmethyl)-3,4-dihydrobenzo[f][1,4]oxazepin-5(2H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

7-Bromo-3,4-dihydrobenzo[f][1,4]oxazepin-5(2H)-one (1.0 g, 4.13 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (10 ml) cooled down in a ice/water bath and treated with sodium hydride (60% dispersion) (363 mg, 9.08 mmol) portion wise. After 10 min a solution of 2-(chloromethyl)pyrimidine hydrochloride (813 mg, 4.96 mmol) in DMF (4 ml) was added, the reaction mixture warmed up to room temperature and quenched with 12 mL of water after it was complete. The reaction mixture was extracted with EtOAc and water and the organic phase was dried, evaporated and purified by silica gel chromatography (95% DCM/MeOH) to afford 7-bromo-4-(pyrimidin-2-ylmethyl)-3,4-dihydrobenzo[f][1,4]oxazepin-5(2H)-one.
