Methyl iodide → 8-bromo-N-(2-chloro-4-(dimethylcarbamoyl)phenyl)-N-methyl-4,5-dihydrobenzo[b]thieno[2,3-d]oxepine-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To solution of 8-bromo-N-(2-chloro-4-(dimethylcarbamoyl)phenyl)-4,5-dihydro-benzo[b]thieno[2,3-d]oxepine-2-carboxamide (29.0 g, 57.3 mmol), Cs2CO3 (37.40 g, 114.7 mmol) in DMF (600 mL), CH3I (30 mL, 479.8 mmol) was slowly added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Concentration removed about 200 mL of DMF, and then water (100 mL) was added to the mixture. The resulting precipitate was filtered, washed with water, dried to give 8-bromo-N-(2-chloro-4-(dimethylcarbamoyl)phenyl)-N-methyl-4,5-dihydrobenzo[b]thieno[2,3-d]oxepine-2-carboxamide (29.50 g, yield: 99%). ESI-MS: δ 19.4. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 400 MHz): δ7.72-7.68 (m, 2H, ArH), 7.52-7.49 (m, 1H, ArH), 7.30-7.20 (m, 3H, ArH), 6.76 (s, 1H, ═CH), 4.19 (s, 2H, CH2), 3.29 (s, 3H, CH3), 3.00 (s, 3H, CH3), 2.96 (s, 2H, CH2), 2.93 (s, 3H, CH3).
