Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-9-cyclopentyl-8,9-dihydro-5H-pyrimido[4.5-b][1,4]diazepin-6(7H)-one (474.7 mg, 1.78 mmol) and methyl iodide (0.122 ml, 1.96 mmol) in DMA (4.5 ml) stirred at −10° C. and treated with sodium hydride 60% oil dispersion (75 mg, 1.87 mmol). The mixture was warmed to 0° C. for 20 min and then to 20° C. for 40 min. A further 0.12 ml methyl iodide and 8 mg sodium hydride were added and the mixture stirred at ambient overnight. Ice was added and the mixture concentrated under reduced pressure. The residual oil was treated dropwise with water (6 ml), filtered and the buff solid dried under high vacuum at 60° C. (486 mg, 98%). NMR DMSO D6 1.45-1.72 (6H, m), 1.76-1.91 (2H, m), 2.61 (2H, d), 3.18 (3H, s), 3.64 (2H, d), 4.65-4.74 (1H, m), 8.15 (1H, s).
