Participants

Reaction Steps

Platinum oxide catalyst (1.0 g) is added to a solution of 11,12-dihydropyrido[2,1-b][1,3]benzodiazepine (20.0 g) in methanol (550 ml). Hydrogen gas (about 50 psig) is added and hydrogen uptake is completed in about 1 and 2 hours. The catalyst is filtered off, and the filtrate is concentrated to yield 22.0 g of material that crystallizes spontaneously, melting point 36°-38° C. Recrystallization from 150 ml of pentane yields 16.0 g of the title compound, melting point 39°-41° C.
