Ethanol → HCID 178475132, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3.3 g. of N-nitrosochlordiazepoxide, 30 ml. of ethanol, 3 ml. of triethylamine and 2 g. of acetyl hydrazide was refluxed for 24 hours. The solvent was removed and replaced by n-butanol. After additional 24 hours of reflux, the reaction mixture was evaporated. The residue was slurried with methylene chloride. The insoluble material was collected and recrystallized from methylene chloride/ethanol to yield 2-(2-acetylhydrazino)-7-chloro-5-phenyl-3H-1,4-benzodiazepine 4-oxide. The methylene chloride soluble part was chromatographed over 70 g. of silica gel using 10 percent ethanol in methylene chloride. Crystallization of the clean fractions from ethyl acetate yielded 8-chloro-1-methyl-6-phenyl-4H-s-triazolo[4,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepine 5-oxide with a melting point of 278°-282°.
