Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-8-iodo-5-methyl-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2',3'-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one (0.15 g, 0.4 mmol), 3-methylstyrene (0.05 mL, 0.4 mmol), palladium acetate (29 mg, 0.13 mmol), sodium bicarbonate (83 mg, 1.0 mmol), tetrabutylammonium chloride (0.11 g, 0.47 mmol), and 1 crystal of BHT in 2 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide was heated at 90° C. under argon for 4.5 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried (magnesium sulfate), and concentrated. Purification by flash chromatography, eluting with ethyl acetate/hexanes, afforded 0.13 g of the title compound, m.p. 207°-208° C. (ethyl acetate/hexanes).
