Synthesis of New (4‐Acetonylidene‐2,6,8,9‐tetramethyl‐7H‐imidazo[1,5,4‐e,f][1,5]benzodiazepine) Derivatives

Abstract

Imidazobenzodiazepine derivatives were obtained by cyclization of the condensation products 7‐amino‐2,5,6‐trimethylbenzimidazole with acetylacetone and ethyl acetoacetate. By careful examination of spectroscopic data and the open‐chain intermediate isolation, we have identified the formed compound structure.

Keywords:

• acetylacetone
• 7‐amino‐2,5,6‐trimethylbenzimidazole
• ethyl acetoacetate
• imidazo[1,5,4‐e,f][1,5]benzodiazepine
