Reaction Steps

1.5 ml. of acetic anhydride was added to a solution of 2.5 g. of 7-chloro-2-hydrazino-5-phenyl-3H-1,4-benzodiazepine 4-oxide in 50 ml. of methylene chloride. After stirring for 15 minutes at room temperature, the mixture was concentrated and crystallized by addition of ether to yield 2-(2-acetylhydrazino)-7-chloro-5-phenyl-3H-1,4-benzodiazepine 4-oxide, which after recrystallization from dimethylformamide, had a melting point of 272°-275° dec.
