Reaction Steps

1.87 g (5.48 mmol) of 8-hydroxymethyl-5-(4-nitrophenyl)-8,9-dihydro-7H-1,3-dioxolo[4,5-h][2,3]benzodiazepine is dissolved in 25 ml of acetone and mixed with 0.54 ml (6.67 mmol) of 37% HCl. After 30 minutes, the reaction mixture is cooled, and the hydrochloride is filtered off. The dichloromethane suspension of this salt is shaken with 20 ml of 8% NaHCO3 solution until the salt is dissolved. The organic phase is separated, washed with water, dried and concentrated by evaporation. After recrystallization, 1.7 g (81%) of the title compound, melting point 171-173° C., is obtained.
