Reaction Steps

NH3/2-propanol (40 ml) was added dropwise at 5° C. to a mixture of 7-[chloro(4-chlorophenyl)(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methyl]-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one (described in Example B10a) (0.0075 mol) in THF (40 ml). The mixture was stirred at 5° C. for 30 min, hydrolyzed and extracted with DCM. The organic layer was separated, dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvent was evaporated till dryness. The residue (4 g) was purified by column chromatography over silica gel (eluent: CH2Cl2/CH3OH/NH4OH 97.5/2.5/0.1 and 96/4/0.1; 15–40 μm). The pure fractions were collected and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was crystallized from acetonitrile and diethyl ether. The precipitate was filtered off and dried, yielding 1.8 g (48%) of 2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one, 7-[amino(4-chlorophenyl)(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methyl]-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one, mp. 213° C.
