Synthesis of benzodiazepines<br />
Diazepine derivatives constitute an important class of heterocyclic compounds<br />
which possess a wide range of therapeutic and pharmacological properties.<br />
Derivatives of benzodiazepines are widely used as anticonvulsant, antianxiety,<br />
analgesic, sedative, anti-depressive, and hypnotic agents 6-7 as well as antiinflammatory<br />
agents. 8 In the last decade, the area of biological interest of 1,5-<br />
benzodiazepines has been extended to several diseases such as cancer, viral infection<br />
and cardiovascular disorders. 9-10 In addition,1,5-benzodiazepines are key<br />
intermediates for the synthesis of various fused ring systems such astriazolo-,<br />
oxadiazolo-, oxazino- or furanobenzodiazepines. 11-14 Besides, benzodiazepine<br />
derivatives are also of commercial importance as dyes for acrylic fibers in<br />
photography. 15 Owing to their versatile applications various methods for the synthesis<br />
of benzodiazepines have been reported in the literature. These include condensation<br />
reactions of o-phenylenediamines with α,β-unsaturated carbonylcompounds, 16 with<br />
ketones in the presence of BF 3·Et 2 O, NaBH 4 , polyphosphoric acid or SiO 2 ,<br />
MgO/POCl 3 , Yb(OTf) 3 , Al 2 O 3 /P 2 O 5 or AcOH under microwave conditions,<br />
Amberlyst-15 in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazoliumbromide ([bmim]Br),<br />
CeCl 3·7H 2 O/NaI supported on silica gel,InBr 3 , Sc(OTf) 3 , sulfated zirconia, InCl 3 ,<br />
CAN, ZnCl 2 under thermal conditions, AgNO 3 . 17-32<br />
Among all types of benzodiazepines (1,2-,1,3-, 1,4-, 1,5-, 2,3-, & 2,4- ) only<br />
1,4- and 1,5-benodiazepines have found wide applications in medicines, during one of<br />
the most important classes of the therapeutic agents with wide spread biological<br />
activities 33 including hypnotics, sedatives, anxiolytics and antianxiety etc, effect range<br />
from their well-documented anticonvulsive or tranquilizing properties, through<br />
pesticidal 34 or antitumor 35 action and to their more recently described peptidomimetic<br />
activity. 36<br />
Recently, structural modification has been done in diazepine ring system to<br />
enhance biological activity. Diazepine ring system modified at N and 3-position has<br />
been studied extensively. They have been tested clinically as an antitrypanosomal<br />
activity, 37 antiplasmodial falcipain-2 inhibitors, 38 antileukemic agents, 39 and<br />
endothelin Receptor Antagonists. 40 V. I. Pavlovsky et al. 41 has reported that 3-<br />
arylideneand 3-hetarylidene 1,4-diazepinederivatives afford good affinity toward CNS<br />
benzodiazepine receptors.<br />
