Reaction Steps

2-Amino-4-decylbenzophenone (4.16 g) was dissolved in chloroform (40 ml) and phthaloylalanyl chloride (3.22 g) was added thereto with stirring at room temperature. The mixture was stirred for 0.5 hour. The reaction mixture was washed with 5% aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate and water and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After filtration, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The concentrate was purified by silica gel column chromatography and the oily substance obtained was dissolved in a mixed solvent of methanol (20 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (40 ml). Thereto was added hydrazine monohydrate (1.56 g) with stirring under ice-cooling and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours. Conc. hydrochloric acid (1 ml) was added thereto with stirring at room temperature and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 2 hours. After cooling, the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was extracted with chloroform and washed with 5% aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate and water. The residue was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After filtration, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. Isopropyl alcohol (60 ml) and acetic acid (1 ml) were added to the concentrate and the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 1 hour. After cooling, the residue obtained by concentration under reduced pressure was extracted with chloroform and washed with 5% aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate and water. The extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After filtration, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 3.2 g of 8-decyl-1,3-dihydro-3-methyl-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one as crystals.
