Acetic Anhydride → Acetamide, N-(4-(7-acetyl-8,9-dihydro-8-methyl-7H-1,3-dioxolo(4,5-h)(2,3)benzodiazepin-5-yl)phenyl)-

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.3 g (4.4 mmol) of 1-(4-aminophenyl)-3-acetyl-4-methyl-7,8-methylenedioxy-3,4-dihydro-5H-2,3-benzodiazepine were stirred at 20°-25° C. with 5 ml of acetic anhydride for one hour, then the yellow solution was poured into 100 g of ice-water and stirred until the decomposition of the excess anhydride became complete. The precipitate formed was filtered, washed with 3×10 ml of distilled water and dried to give 1.6 g of raw product. After recrystallization from 20 ml of benzene 1.50 g (89.85%) of the aimed product were obtained, m.p.: 158°-160° C. (decomp.).
