3-Amino-1-methyl-5-phenyl-1H-benzo[E][1,4]diazepin-2(3H)-one → N-(2,3-Dihydro-1-methyl-2-oxo-5-phenyl-1H-1,4-benzodiazepin-3-yl)-N'-((R)1-phenylethyl)-urea

Participants

Reaction Steps

Equimolar amounts of 3(R,S)-amino-1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one and (R)-(+)-α-methylbenzylisocyanate were mixed in 8 ml of dry tetrahydrofuran at room temperature. The reaction mixture was allowed to stand for 8 hours and was then filtered. The collected solids were washed with tetrahydrofuran and dried in vacuo over P2O5 to give the analytical product as a mixture of diastereomers: m.p. 146°-150° C.
