Procedure
A suspension of 3.3 parts of 2-(2-acetylhydrazino)-7-chloro-5-phenyl-3H-1,4-benzodiazepine prepared in Example 25 in 20 parts by volume of pyridine is refluxed, whereby the crystals are gradually dissolved. After 2 hours the solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue is recrystallized from a mixture of acetone and n-hexane to yield 8-chloro-1-methyl-6-phenyl-4H-s-triazolo [4,3-a] [1,4] benzodiazepine as colorless needles melting at 224° C to 225° C.
