Quinazolines and 1,4-benzodiazepines. XCIV. Pyrazino[1,2-a][1,4]benzodiazepines

A series of pyrazino[1,2-a][1,4]benzodiazepines were prepared by acylating the primary amino group of an α-amino-1,4-benzodiazepine-2-ylideneacetic acid ester ( 1 ) with α-chloroacyl chlorides followed by cyclo-dehydrohalogenation with triethylamine in dimethylformamide. Some pharmacological data for CNS-activity are discussed.     

Synthesis of triazolo[4,3-d], tetrazolo[1,5-a] -and quinazolino[3,2-d] [1,4] benzodiazepines

Treatment of 5-methylmercapto-1,4-benzodiazepine (I) with hydrazine hydrate gave the 5-hydrazino derivative (II, R = H) which, in turn, was conveniently cyclized to the title compounds. Another method for the synthesis of triazolo [4,3-d] [1,4] benzodiazepines (III) is also described.     

Synthesis of novel imidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepines and pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepines

Several 1 1-amino-5H-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepines have been used as starting material to prepare a number of derivatives of 9H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepines and 10H-pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepines. The imidazole nucleus was built by reaction of amidines with ethyl bromopyruvate or aminoacetaldehyde dimethylacetal. Several derivatives of imidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine have been prepared by formylation of the pyrrole ring followed by formation of thioamides. Condensation of 11-amino-5H-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepines with diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate afforded intermediate diesters which were transformed into the corresponding 10H-pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c]-benzodiazepines.
