3‐Oxime‐4‐phenyl‐1(H)(l,5)benzodiazepin‐2‐one 2 was prepared and treated with malononitrile, arylidenenitriles, and bidentates to give the corresponding spiro‐3,3′‐isoxazolo‐, thiadiazino‐, and triazino‐1,5‐benzodiazepines 3–7. 3‐Bromo‐3‐cyano‐4‐phenyl‐l(H)(l,5)benzodiazepin‐2‐one 9a and 3‐bromo‐3‐cyano‐4‐(4′‐bromophenyl)‐1(H)(l,5)benzodiazepin‐2‐one 9b were synthesized via the bromination of 3‐cyano‐4‐phenyl‐1(H)(l,5)benzodiazepin‐2‐one 8. Compounds 9a,b were reacted with bidentates or cyclopentanone to afford spiro piprazine, quinoxaline, thiazine, thiadiazine, imidazole, and cyclopentafuran derivatives 10–16. Treatment of compound 1 with p‐tolyldiazonium chloride ... Read more

3-cyano-1,11-dihydro-4,5-diphenyl-2-thioxopyrido[2,3-b](1,5)benzodiazepine 2 and 3-(2′-cyano-1′-phenyl-2′-ethanethiocarboxamide)-4-phenyl-1(H)(1,5)benzodiazepin2-one 3 were prepared via the reaction of 1,3-dihydro-4-phenyl-(1,5)benzodiazepin-2-one 1 with benzylidenecyanothioacetamide. Compound 2 was treated with halo compounds to give the corresponding S-alkylated compounds 4 a−c, which underwent as intramolecular ring closure to thieno[3,2.5,6]pyrido[2,3-b](1,5)benzodiazepines 5 a−c under PTC conditions. One-pot syntheis of compounds 5 a−c was achieved via the reaction of compound 2 with the appropriate ... Read more

Some new chromeno[2,3-b]pyrimidines, chromeno[3,2-c]pyridines, chromeno[2,3-b]pyridines and 3-chromenyl-1,3-thiazines were synthesized via the synthetic studies of the reaction of 2-imino-2H-chromen-3-thiocarboxamide with some aromatic aldehydes, active nitriles, and their ylidene derivatives.

[1,3‐Dihydro‐4‐phenyl(1,5)benzodiazepin‐2‐ylidene]malononitrile 1a was treated with formaline and some different primary amines to give the corresponding pyrimido(1,5)benzodiazepines 2a–d. Treatment of compound 1a with halo reagents yielded the corresponding pyrrolobenzodiazepines 3a,b. The reaction of compound 1a with active methylenes, bidentates, S,S‐ and N,S‐acetals afforded the corresponding spiro(1,5)‐benzodiazepines 4a‐c–8a,b, respectively. Read more
