Reaction Steps

Example 124. A solution of 9-propionyl-3,4,7,8-tetrahydro-[1,4]diazepino[7,1-a]isoquinoline-2,5-dione (225 mg, 0.77 mmol) in DCE (20 mL) was treated with POCl3 (0.22 mL, 2.30 mmol) and the mixture was heated to 110° C. for 1 h. The mixture was then allowed to cool to RT, diluted with DCM and washed with H2O. The org. phase was then dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue obtained was taken up in DCE (20 mL) and 4-cyclobutyl-1H-imidazole (188 mg, 1.54 mmol) and pyridine (0.12 mL, 1.54 mmol) were then added. The mixture was heated to 110° C. for 1 h, and then allowed to cool to RT, poured onto H2O and extracted with DCM. The org. layer was then dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by flash chromatography (SiO2, heptane to AcOEt to AcOEt/MeOH 85:15) and SFC (column: 2-Ethylpyridine 5 μm, 250×30 mm, 60 A, Princeton; eluent: 7% MeOH/CO2 for 1 min, then from 7% MeOH/CO2 to 12% MeOH/CO2 in 6 min; then from 12% MeOH/CO2 to 50% MeOH/CO2 in 1 min; flow 100 mL/min; UV detection at 220 nm) afforded the title compound (36 mg). UPLC-MS: MS 389.2 (M+H+); UPLC rt 0.95 min. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ ppm 1.06 (t, J=7.23 Hz, 3 H); 1.55-1.90 (m, 2 H); 1.99-2.27 (m, 4 H); 2.91-3.05 (m, 4 H); 3.36 (m, 1 H); 3.70 (t, J=6.06 Hz, 2 H); 4.22 (s, 2 H); 7.10 (s, 1 H); 7.41 (s, 1 H); 7.49 (t, J=8.02 Hz, 1 H); 7.88 (d, J=7.43 Hz, 1 H); 8.05-8.20 (m, 2 H).
