Synthesis and spectral properties of 11‐[(o‐; and p‐substituted)‐phenyl]‐8‐[(o‐; m‐;p‐methoxy)phenylthio]‐3,3‐dimethyl‐2,3,4,5,10,11‐hexahydro‐1h‐dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepin‐1‐ones

The preparation of twelve novel 2,3,4,5,10,11‐hexahydro‐1H‐dibenzo[b,e] [1,4]diazepin‐l‐ones which have potentially useful pharmacological properties; by condensation and cyclization between 3‐{[4‐(o‐; m‐; p‐methoxy)phenylthio]‐1,2‐phenylenediamine}‐5,5‐dimethyl‐2‐cyclohexenone with (o‐; and p‐substi‐tuted)benzaldehyde. The structure of all final products were corroborated by ir, ¹H‐nmr, ¹³C‐nmr and ms.
