Synthesis of benzodiazepines<br />

6.5. Current research work<br />

The chemistry of benzodiazepines and its derivatives has been studied for over<br />

a century due to their diverse biological activities. It has numerous pharmacological<br />

and medicinal applications viz, PAF antagonists, cardiovascular agents, CNS-active<br />

agent, hypnotic, anxiolytic, sedative and anticonvulsant. Therefore, we set to prepare<br />

some new 1H-benzo[e][1,4]diazepin-2(3H)-one derivatives for their biological studies.<br />

The requisite starting material1,4-benzodiazepines (ADZ-03) was prepared by<br />

following the reported procedure. The 2-amino-4’-flouro-benzophenone (ADZ-01)<br />

was reacted with chloroacetylchloride to afford 2-chloro-N-(2-(4’-fluorobenzoyl)<br />

phenyl)acetamide (ADZ-02). It was subsequently converted to 1,4-benzodiazepines<br />

by the modification of the known hexamethylenetetramine-(HMTM)-based<br />

cyclization reaction developed by Blazevic and Kajfez. 54-55 ADZ-03 thus obtained<br />

was reacted with a variety of alkyl halide using KOH in DMF to give 1-substituted-5-<br />

(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-benzo[e][1,4]diazepin-2(3H)-one (ADZ-04a-j). To achieve 5-<br />

substituted 1,4-benzodiazepines (ADZ-05a-j), 5-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-benzo[e][1,4]<br />

diazepin-2(3H)-one (ADZ-03) was treated with various aromatic aldehydes in the<br />

presence of potassium hydroxide in toluene. The newly synthesized compounds were<br />

characterized by IR, Mass, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis.<br />
