The synthesis of potentially biologically biologically active quino[2,3-b][1,5]benzodiazepin-12-ones has been reported for the first time by the reaction of 2-chloroquinoline-3-carboxylic acids with o-phenylenediamine.     

An efficient strategy for the general synthesis of 3-aryl substituted pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,4]benzoxazines and pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepin-6(4H)-ones

An efficient strategy for the general synthesis of 3-aryl substituted pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,4]benzoxazines and pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepin-6(4H)-ones has been developed using intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The hydrazonoyl chloride, the precursor of the cycloadduct, is accessed easily through a two-step reaction carried out in one-pot. It is then used without purification for the base induced formation of the nitrilimine, which undergoes subsequent in situ intramolecular cycloaddition with an alkyne to afford the desired product. The reaction protocol has also been applied in bis-heteroannulation and in the synthesis of uracil derivatives of biological interest. The operational simplicity of the process, the use of cheap starting materials, and the relatively short reaction times required make the process convenient and practical.

Synthesis of pyrimidino[4,5-b][1,5]benzodiazepin-2-ones and pyrimidino[1,6-a]benzimidazol-1-ones from 4-ethoxycarbonylamino-1H-1,5-benzodiazpine-3-carbonitrile via 4-(2-aminoanilino)pyrimidin-2(1H)-one-5-carbonitriles

Reactions of 4-ethoxycarbonylamino-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine-3-carbonitrile (2) with aliphatic primary amines gave 1-substituted 4-(2-aminoanilino)pyrimidin-2(1H)-one-5-carbonitriles 3. Analogous reactions of 2 with aromatic primary amines afforded 2-(2′-anilino-1′-cyanovinyl)benzimidazoles 5 and 6.

Mechanistic pathways are proposed to account for the products.

A number (seven compounds) of 4,5-dihydropyrrolo[1,2,3-e, f][1,5]benzodiazepin-6(7H)-ones were obtained by condensation of 7-aminoindoles with -halopropionic acid derivatives with subsequent cyclization of the resulting 7-(-halopropionylamino)indoles by heating in the presence of bases in dimethylformamide. The compositions and structures of the intermediates and final products were confirmed by the results of elementary analysis and data from the IR, UV, and mass spectra.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 505–507, April, 1981.     

Electron impact mass spectral fragmentation patterns of 2a,4-disubstituted 5-benzoyl-2-chloro-2a,3,4,5-tetrahydroazeto[1,2-a][1,5]benzodiazepin-1( 2H)-ones

The mass spectrometric behaviour of six 2a,4-disubstituted 5-benzoyl-2-chloro-2a,3,4,5-tetrahydroazeto[1,2-a][1,5]benzodia zepin-1(2H)-ones has been studied with the aid of mass-analysed ion kinetic energy spectrometry and accurate mass measurements under electron impact ionization. All compounds show a tendency to eliminate a chlorine atom, a chlorine atom plus benzaldehyde, benzoyl radical, chloroketene or chlorine atom plus CO and H2O molecules to yield, respectively, [M-Cl]+ ions, 2a,4-disubstituted 2a,3-dihydroazeto[1,2-a][1,5]benzodiazepin-1(2H)-one ions, [M-PhCO]+ ions, 2,4-disubstituted 1-benzoyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine ions, or 1,2,4-trisubstituted 1H-1,7-benzodiazonine ions, which could also be formed from [M-Cl]+ ions by loss of CO and H2O molecules simultaneously. The [M-Cl]+ ions could further lose benzoyl radical to form [M-Cl-PhCO]+ ions, or lose benzoyl amide and undergo a rearrangement to form 4,6-disubstituted 1-benzoazocine-2(1H)-one ions. The [M-PhCO]+ ions could eliminate NH to produce 2a,4-disubstituted 2,2a,3,4-tetrahydroazeto[1,2,-a]quinolin-1-one ions, which could further eliminate chloroketene, CO and/or HCl to produce some important ions, respectively. 2,4-Disubstituted 1-benzoyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine ions could lose benzoyl radical to yield 2,4-disubstituted 2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine ions, which could further yield other small fragment ions by loss of propene/styrene or small fragments.
