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 />
