Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl (±)-7-carboxy-4-methyl-3-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1,4-benzodiazepine-2-acetate (2.0 g, 8.6 mmol), acetic anhydride (25 mL) and acetic acid (1 mL) were heated to reflux. After 48 h, the reaction was concentrated, and the residue was diluted with H2O (20 mL) and MeOH (15 mL). The resulting solution was concentrated to give the tide compound (1.8 g, 78%): 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ1.7-1.8 (s, 3H), 2.2-2.6 (m, 2H), 2.9-3.0 (s, 3H), 3.5-3.6 (s, 3H), 4.2-4.3 (d, 1H), 4.7-4.8 (d, 1H), 5.8-5.9 (t, 1H), 7.5-7.6 (d, 1H), 7.9-8.0 (dd, 1H), 8.1-8.2 (d, 1H); MS (ES) m/e 335.0 (M+H)+.
