Hydrogen Sulfide → HCID 21842269, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stream of hydrogen sulphide was passed for 1 hr. through a solution of 10.2 g (0.429 mol) of 5-methyl-6-oxo-5,6-dihydro-4H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepine-3-carbonitrile in 250 ml of pyridine and 2.5 ml of triethylamine. The green solution was left to stand for 48 hrs., then de-gassed with a stream of nitrogen and subsequently completely freed from the solvents. The residue was partitioned between dichloromethane and water and the suspension obtained was suction filtered. There were obtained 9.0 g (87%) of 5-methyl-6-oxo-5,6-dihydro-4H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepine-3-thiocarboxamide as yellow crystals. A sample was recrystallized from methanol and gave pale yellow crystals; m.p. 295°-297°.
