Acylations of 1H-1,2-thieno-and 1H-1,2-benzo-diazepines: ring-conversion into 1,3-diazepines
Abstract
Treatment of the 1H-1,2-thienodiazepine (1) and the 1H-1,2-benzodiazepines (7) having an electron-donating substituent in the 7-position with ethyl chloroformate, acetyl chloride, or benzoyl chloride in benzene results in ring-conversion to give the corresponding 1,3-diazepines (3) and (12).
