Synthesis and structure determination of isomeric 7- and 8-chloro-1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives

Reaction of 4-chloro-1,2-benzenediamine with 3,3-dimercapto-1-phenyl-2-propen-1-one afforded, as expected, a mixture of 7-chloro and 8-chloro-1,3-dihydro-4-phenyl-2H-1,5-benzodiazepine-2-thione. After separation of the two components and further reaction, their structure was established by chemical degradation of 7-chloro-2-(2-diethylaminoethylthio)-4-phenyl-3H-1,5-benzodiazepine to 5-chloro-1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-2H-benzimidazol-2-one. The structure was also confirmed by single X-ray analysis of 7-chloro-2-(2-diethylaminoethylthio)-4-phenyl-3H-1,5-benzodiazepine.     

Heterocyclic compounds from 3,3-dimercapto-1-aryl-2-propen-1-ones. Note 3. Condensation with N-methyl-o-phenylenediamine and N-benzyl-o-phenylenediamine

Two seven-membered ring compounds and three five-membered ring compounds were obtained by reaction in hot xylene of 3,3-dimercapto-l-phenyl-2-propen-1-one (1) with N-alkyl-o-phenylenediamines (2) . Compounds isolated were the 4-phenyl-5-alkyl-1,5-dihydro-2H-1,5-benzodiazepine-2-thiones (3) the 1-alkyl-4-phenyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,5-benzodiazepine-2-thiones (4) , the 1-alkyl-2-phenacylbenzimidazoles (5) , the 1-alkyl-2-phenylbenzimidazoles (6) and the 1-alkyl-2-methylbenzimidazoles (7) . The structures of these compounds were elucidated from their chemical reactivity and their nmr and ir spectra.     

1H NMR investigation of ring mobility of 1,5-benzodiazepine-2,4-diones

The ring mobility of some 1,5-benzodiazepine-2,4-diones and 1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one has been investigated by the temperature dependence of their ¹H NMR spectra. The activation parameters have been obtained, and the influence of N-1 substitution on the ring mobility is discussed, taking into account previously reported data for similar compounds.     

Ring transformation of 4-amino-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine-3-carbonitrile and ethyl 4-amino-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine-3-carboxylate into benzimidazole derivatives with amines

The ring contraction of 4-ammo-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine-3-carbonitrile hydrochloride 1 and ethyl 4-amino-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine-3-carboxylate hydrochloride 2 with aromatic primary amines into benzimidazole derivatives 3 and 4 was readily accomplished by heating in methanol. Benzodiazepine 1 also reacted with methylamine and ethylamine at about 40° to give ring-opened amine adducts 7 which were recyclized to 1 with hydrochloric acid.     

Synthesis and spectral properties of 2-methylthio-3H-4-(para-substituted-phenyl)-7-[(o-, and p-substituted)-phenylthio]-1,5-benzodiazepines

A series of twelve new 2-methylthio-3H-4-(p-substituted phenyl)-7-[(o-, and p-substituted)phenylthio]-1,5-benzodiazepines, which have potentially useful pharmacological properties, has been synthesized by condensing the 3,3-dimercapto-1-(para-substituted-phenyl)-2-propen-1-one with 3,4-diamino phenyl-R-phenylthio ethers, and subsequently the 1H-1,5-benzodiazepine-2-thiones obtained were treated with sodium hydride and methyl iodide. The structure of all products was corroborated by ir, ¹H-nmr, ¹³C-nmr and ms.     

Synthesis and mass spectra of 2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine-2-thiones

2,3-Dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine-2-thiones and their N-methyl and S-methyl derivatives were synthesized. It was demonstrated by means of the IR, UV, PMR, and mass spectra that in solutions with different polarities 1,5-benzodiazepine-2-thiones exist primarily in the thione form; the thione and enamino-thiol forms are the most probable forms in the gas phase.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 396–400, March, 1990.     

Ring transformation of 4-amino and 4-N-(substituted)amino-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine-3-carbonitriles with hydroxylamine. A new synthesis of benzimidazolidine and isoxazole derivatives

The reaction of 4-amino-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine-3-carbonitrile 1 with hydroxylamine provided the ring-opened hydroxylamine adduct 2 which was converted to 2-benzimidazolidinylidene-3-hydroxyiminopropio-nitrile 4 in hydrochloric acid. The reaction of 4-ethoxycarbonylamino-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine-3-carbonitrile 6a or N-(3-cyano-1H,5-benzodiazepin-4-yl)-N′-ethylurea 6b with hydroxylamine afforded 5-(o-aminoanilino)-4-cyanoisoxazole 3 which underwent a facile rearrangement into 4 with a base.     

Synthesis of 1,4-benzodiazepine-3,5-diones

Even though benzodiazepines have a strong position in medicinal chemistry, very few synthetic routes to 1H-1,4-benzodiazepine-3,5(2H,4H)-diones have ever been published and the claimed products have often been poorly characterized. Through the present work several 1H-1,4-benzodiazepine-3,5(2H,4H)-diones have become available from N-carbamoylmethylanthranilic acids. The required ring closures were achieved only when the amino groups of the starting materials were substituted with electron withdrawing groups such as acetyl, alkyloxycarbonyl, or nitroso. During the synthetic work a novel ring contraction rearrangement from a 1-nitroso-1H-1,4-benzodiazepine-3,5(2H,4H)-dione to a 3H-quinazoline-4-one was observed. The proposed mechanism involves elimination of HNO followed by a proton-mediated loss of CO. The 1-nitrosated 1,4-benzodiazepinediones could be separately denitrosated to the corresponding amino compounds.     

Nucleophilic Substitution in 1,5-Benzodiazepin-2-ones

The reaction of 3-bromo-4-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one with cyclic amines gives 3-aminoalkyl-4-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one. Thiazolo[4,5-b][1,5]benzodiazepine was isolated along with the substitution product when thiourea was used.     

Solid-phase synthesis of benzimidazole N-oxides on SynPhase™ Lanterns

A solid-phase synthesis of benzimidazole N-oxides was developed while attempting to synthesize 1,5-benzodiazepine-2,4-diones. The key step of the synthesis involves the reduction of an arylnitro to a hydroxyamino intermediate which subsequently condenses with an internal carbonyl group to give a benzimidazole N-oxide. A library of nine benzimidazole N-oxides was prepared on SynPhase™ Lanterns using this reduction-cyclization methodology.     

Heterocyclic compounds from 3,3-dimercapto-1-aryl-2-propen-1-ones. Note 1. 4-Ary1-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,5-benzodiazepine-2-thiones

A series of new 4-aryl-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,5-benzodiazepine-2-thiones ( 3 ) has been synthesized by condensing the 3,3-dimercapto-1-aryl-2-propen-1-ones with o-phenylenediamine. The structure was established by the results of acid cleavage and by nmr spectra. The alkylation of compounds 3 gave 2-alkylthio-4-aryl-3H-1,5 benzodiazepines ( 10 ).     

Determination of the anxiolytic agent 8-chloro-6-(2-chlorophenyl)-4H-imidazo-[1,5-alpha] [1,4]-benzodiazepine-3-carboxamide in whole blood, plasma or urine by high-performance liquid chromatography

A rapid, sensitive and specific high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) assay was developed for the determination of 8-chloro-6-(2-chlorophenyl)-4H-imidazo-[1,5-alpha]-[1,4]-benzodiazepine-3-carboxamide [I] and its 4-hydroxy metabolite, 8-chloro-6-(2-chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxy-4H-imidazo-[1,5-alpha] [1,4]-benzodiazepine-3-carboxamide [II] in whole blood, plasma or urine. The assay for both compounds involves extraction into diethyl ether-methylene chloride (70:30) from blood, plasma, or urine buffered to pH 9.0. The overall recoveries of [I] and [II] are 92.0 +/- 5.4% (S.D.) and 90.3 +/- 4.9% (S.D.), respectively. The sensitivity limit of detection is 50 ng/ml of blood, plasma, or urine using a UV detector at 254 nm. The HPLC assay was used to monitor the blood concentration-time fall-off profiles, and urinary excretion profiles in the dog following single 1 mg/kg intravenous and 5 mg/kg oral doses, and following multiple oral doses of 100 mg/kg/day of compound [I].     

Isolation of clobazam-orosomucoid complexes from patients' sera.

Orosomucoid, a member of the lipocalin family, may function in the in vivo transport of lipophilic compounds such as basic and neutral drugs. We describe the identification of 7-chloro-1-methyl-1,5-benzodiazepine-2,4-dione (clobazam) bound to the serum orosomucoid from individuals actively taking this tranquillizer. This suggests not only that other endogenous factors limit access to the benzodiazepine binding site on human serum albumin, but also that the differential binding of benzodiazepines and their metabolites by orosomucoid should be considered in determining therapeutic doses, particularly in the acute phase response.     

Synthesis and spectral properties of 2,3-dihydro-4-(paramethylphenyl)-7-[(o,m-, and p-substituted)phenoxy]-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine-2-thiones

The structure of all products was corroborated by ir; ¹H-nmr; ¹³C-nmr and ms.     

Synthsis and mild conversion of 1,5-benzodiazepine iminothioethers into hydrazides

The desired 4-acyl-hydrazino-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepines resulted from the reaction of iminothioethers with hydrazides.Institute of Biochemistry, Vilnius 2600, Lithuania.

Subsequently the 1H-1,5-benzodiazepine-2-thiones obtained were treated with the (o- and p-substituted)aniline. The structure of all products was corroborated by ir, ¹H nmr, ¹³C nmr and ms.     

1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of arylnitrile oxides and 2-diazopropane with 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1,5-dihydropyrrol-2-one derivatives

The reactions of arylnitrile oxides 2 and 2-diazopropane 5 with 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1,5-dihydropyrrol-2-one derivatives 1 have been studied. 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of arylnitrile oxides and 2-diazopropane with 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1,5-dihydropyrrol-2-one derivatives is taking place regiospecifically. The asymmetric induction expected by the chiral centre of the 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1,5-dihydropyrrol-2-one derivatives was very effective, diastereoisomers 3 and 4 were formed in an approximate 90:10 ratio. The stereoselectivity of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the 2-diazopropane with the 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1,5-dihydropyrrol-2-one derivatives are investigated. The attack of the 1,3-dipole occurred from the less hindered face of the dipolarophile, giving the isomer 6.     

Features and applications of reactions of α,β-unsaturated N-acylbenzotriazoles with amino compounds

Promoted by triethylamine, α,β-unsaturated N-acylbenzotriazoles reacted with amino compounds in a variety of ways. Thus, N-cinnamoylbenzotriazoles reacting with aromatic amines afforded novel addition products β-benzotriazolyl amides 3, which might be normally formed from the alternative but unknown 1,4-addition of benzotriazole to N-cinnamoylamides. The type 3 compounds could also result from the reaction between N-crotonoylbenzotriazole and aliphatic amines. However, normal 1,4-addition could occur between α,β-unsaturated aliphatic N-acylbenzotriazoles and aromatic amines, leading to β-amino N-acylbenzotriazoles 4 in good yields. In addition, exclusive 1,2-addition of aliphatic amines to N-cinnamoylbenzotriazoles gave excellent yields of cinnamides 5. Accordingly, three possible routes were proposed to rationalize the formation of compounds 3-5. Finally, with o-phenylenediamine and o-aminothiophenol as the substrates, the 1,4- and 1,2-addition to α,β-unsaturated N-acylbenzotriazoles could take place concurrently and the corresponding heterocycles 1,5-benzodiazepine-2-one and 1,5-benzothiazepine-4-one were constructed, respectively.
