A process for the production of tertiary amines by reductive amination of carbonyl compounds with secondary amines in the presence of a water scavenger, preferably trifluoroacetic acid anhydride, is disclosed. This process has applications in the preparation of imidazole-containing benzodiazepines, which are inhibitors of farnesyl protein transferase.
本发明涉及一种通过还原胺化法在次级胺的存在下,采用
水清除剂(优选
三氟乙酸酐)来制备三级胺的方法。该方法适用于制备含
咪唑的苯二氮平类化合物,其为法尼酰基蛋白转移酶的
抑制剂。
