Iodine‐Catalyzed Synthesis of Spiro[1,3,4‐benzotriazepine‐2,3′‐indole]‐2′,5(1H,1′H)‐diones under Mild Conditions

The I₂‐catalyzed preparation of spiro[1,3,4‐benzotriazepine‐2,3′‐indole]‐2′,5(1H,1′H)‐diones from 2‐aminobenzohydrazide and isatins in MeCN at room temperature in good‐to‐excellent yields is described. The structure of 3 was corroborated spectroscopically (IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, and EI‐MS data). A plausible mechanism for this type of reaction is proposed (Scheme 2).     

Molecular and crystal structure of 1,2-dihydro-3H-1,3,4-benzotriazepines

Three novel 1,2-dihydro-3H-1,3,4-benzotriazepines have been synthesized: 7-bromo-5-phenyl-3-phenylcarbamoyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,3,4-benzotriazepin-2-one, 7-bromo-5-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,3,4-benzotriazepin-2-thione, and 7-methyl-5-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,3,4-benzotriazepin-2-one. Their crystal structures have been determined using X-ray analysis. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 1048–1056, July, 2006.
