Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 30 ml of 1.07 M diborane in tetrahydrofuran was added with stirring 1.43 g of 1-methyl-5-phenyl-7-chloro-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one at -15° to -10° C. After further stirring at -10° C for 2 hours, the reaction mixture was poured into 100 ml of ice-water and 20 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid was added thereto. The mixture was reflexed for one hour. After having been cooled, the resultant red solution was neutralized with 28%-aqueous ammonia, and then extracted with ether. The ether extract was washed with water and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. There were obtained 1.35 g of 1-methyl-5-phenyl-7-chloro-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,4-benzodiazepine, which were recrystallized from n-hexane to give prisms melting at 99.5° to 101,0° C.
