Participants

Reaction Steps

5 g (0.016 M) of 7-amino-6-chloro-5-(o-fluorophenyl)-1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one in 85 ml of absolute tetrahydrofuran are treated with 11.1 ml of chloroethylisocyanate and 1 ml of triethylamine. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1 week and heated at reflux for 5 hours. The mixture is treated with 50 ml of ethanol and concentrated. The residue is treated with methylene chloride/water and extracted several times with methylene chloride. The organic phase is separated, dried with sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated. The residue is purified on a 300 g silica gel column using methylene chloride/ethyl acetate (3:1) as the eluting agent, there being obtained 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-[6-chloro-5-(o-fluorophenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1-methyl-2-oxo-1H-1,4-benzodiazepin-7-yl]urea which is further processed directly.
