Reaction Steps

To a solution of [4-(1H-indol-3-ylmethyl)-5-oxo-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-2,3,6,10b-tetraaza-benzo[e]azulen-6-yl]-acetic acid (Preparation 15) (30 mg, 0.06 mmol) and (6-chloro-pyridin-3-yl)-isopropyl-amine (Preparation 2(A)) (10.1 mg, 0.06 mmol) in benzene (2 mL) was added PCl3 (2.0 M in CH2Cl2, 0.1 mL, 0.198 mmol) and the reaction was heated at reflux for 24 hours. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and was diluted with CH2CO2. The organic solution was washed consecutively with aqueous NaHCO3 (1×), water (1×), 1N HCl (1×), and water (1×). The organic solution was dried (MgSO4) and the volatiles were concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by medium pressure chromatography eluting with 10% EtOH in CH2Cl2 to yield 5 mg of N-(6-chloro-pyridin-3-yl)-2-[4-(1H-indol-3-ylmethyl)-5-oxo-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-2,3,6,10b-tetraaza-benzo[e]azulen-6-yl]-N-isopropyl-acetamide. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 8.26 (s, 1H), 8.17 (s, 1H), 7.76-7.29 (m, 11H), 7.06 (m, 3H), 6.83 (d, 1H), 5.04-4.87 (m, 1H), 4.45-4.15 (m, 1H), 3.94-3.82 (m, 3H), 3.72 (m, 1H), 0.06 (s, 6H); MS 616.6 (M+1), 614.5 (M−1).
