反応手順

285 mg (1 mmol) of ethyl 5,6-dihydro-5-methyl-6-oxo-4H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepine-3-carboxylate and 66 mg of potassium cyanide are heated to boiling under reflux for 24 hours in 10 ml of methanol. 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 methyl 5,6-dihydro-5-methyl-6-oxo-4H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepine-3-carboxylate of melting point 212°-214° C. This product is uniform according to thin-layer chromatography.
