Procedure

285 mg (1 mmol) of ethyl 5,6-dihydro-5-methyl-6-oxo-4H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepine-3-carboxylate and 50 mg of potassium cyanide are stirred at 60° C. for 72 hours in 10 ml of 2-propanol. Then, the mixture is concentrated on a rotary evaporator, the residue is partitioned between water and chloroform, extracted twice with chloroform, the chloroform phase is dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated. There is obtained isopropyl 5,6-dihydro-5-methyl-6-oxo-4H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepine 3-carboxylate of melting point 190°-192° C. This product is uniform according to thin-layer chromatography.
