The seven-membered ring in the title compound, C17H23BrN2O2, adopts a boat-shaped conformation (with the C atoms of the fused-ring as the stern and the methine C atom as the prow). The bromohexyl substituent occupies an equatorial position, with the hexyl chain exhibiting an extended conformation. Weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.

To a solution of the potassium t-butoxide (0.42 g, 3.6 mmol) in DMF (15 ml) was added 1,5-dimethyl-1,5-benzodiazepine-2,4-dione (0.50 g, 2.4 mmol) and 1,6-dibromodohexane (0.40 ml, 2.88 mmol). Stirring was continued for 24 h. The reaction was monitored by thin layer
The mixture was filtered and the solution evaporated to give colorless crystals.Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.93–0.97 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2–1.5Ueq(C).The methylene part of 1,5-dimethyl-1,5-benzodiazepine-2,4-dione is relatively acidic, and one proton can be abstracted by using potassium t-butoxide; the resulting carbanion can undergo a nucleophlilic subsitution with a dibromoalkane to form 3-substituted derivatives. In this study, the compound is reacted with 1,6-dibromohexane the title compound (Scheme I, Fig. 1).

The methylene part of 1,5-dimethyl-1,5-benzodiazepine-2,4-dione is relatively acidic, and one proton can be abstracted by using potassium t-butoxide; the resulting carbanion can undergo a nucleophlilic subsitution with a dibromoalkane to form 3-substituted derivatives. In this study, the compound is reacted with 1,6-dibromohexane the title compound (Scheme I, Fig. 1).
