Procedure
30 g ethylenediamine were added to 96 g ethyl benzoylacetate in 200 ml pyridine and the mixture was boiled under reflux for five hours. Then the pyridine was distilled off and the residue was heated to 180° C. for one hour. After cooling, 500 ml of dichloromethane were added, and the reaction mixture was heated to 40° C. until dissolution occurred. Precipitation with acetone yielded 21.7 g 7-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,4-diazepin-5-one having a melting point of 206-214° C.
