4-(8-Methyl-9H-1,3-dioxolo(4,5-H)(2,3)benzodiazepin-5-yl)benzenamine → HCID 15290895, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.93 g (0.01 mol) of 1-(4-aminophenyl)-4-methyl-7,8-methylenedioxy-5H-2,3-benzodiazepine were refluxed with 20 ml of acetic anhydride for 6 hours. The solution was evaporated at reduced pressure, the residue was taken up in 2×20 ml of anhydrous ethanol, the solution was repeatedly evaporated and the resulting residue of 4.55 g was submitted to column chromatography (adsorbent: Kieselgel 60, eluant: ethyl acetate - benzene 4:1). The raw produce was triturated with 20 ml of hot isopropanol to yield 1.44 g (34.4%) of the aimed product, m.p. 240°-245° C. (slight decomp.).
