The compound, C15H16N2O2, features a pyrroline ring fused with a seven-membered diazepine ring; the latter system adopts a boat conformation (with the methine C atom as the prow and the two C atoms of the aromatic ring as the stern). A CH2-CH2 segment of the pyrroline ring is disordered over two positions in a 1:1 ratio.
2,3-Dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine-5,11(10H,11aH)-dione (1 g, 4.6 mmol), allyl bromide (0.64 g, 4.6 mmol) and potassium carbonate (0.64 g, 4.6 mmol) along with a catalytic amount of tetra-n-butyammonium bromide were stirred in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 ml) for 12 h. After the completion of the reaction (as monitored by TLC), the solid material was removed by filtration and the solvent evaporated under vacuum. Dichloromethane (20 ml) was added and the solution filtered. The solvent was removed and the product purified by recrystallization from dichloromethane to afford colorless crystals in 80% yield. The formulation was established by proton and carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy in CDCl3.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95 to 0.99 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2U(C).
Two of the carbon atoms in the tetrahydropyrrolyl ring are disordered over two positions; the occupancy cound not be refined, and was assumed to be 50:50. The pairs of carbon-carbon (C10–C11, C10'–C11') distances were restrained to within 0.01 Å of each other, and the temperature factors of the primed atoms were restrained to those of the unprimed ones. Their anisotropic temperature factors were restrained to nearly isotropic values.
In the absence of significant anomalous dispersion effects, Freidel pairs were merged.
