- IMPROVED PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF TRIAZOL-BENZODIAZEPINE DERIVATIVES
-
An improved process for preparation of triazol-benzodiazepine derivatives, such as alprazolam, triazolam, brotizolam and etizolam, is presented. The process comprises a cyclization reaction of compound Formula B in toluene with catalytic amount of p-toluene sulphonic acid to obtain the triazol-benzodiazepine derivative of Formula C: wherein R is, and X is hydrogen or halogen.

- 1,4-Benzodiazepine N-nitrosoamidines: Useful intermediates in the synthesis of tricyclic benzodiazepines
-
1,4-Benzodiazepine N-nitrosoamidines have been used as scaffolds for the preparation of different tricyclic derivatives. Replacement of the N-nitrosoamidine moiety through treatment with the nucleophiles acetylhydrazine, aminoacetaldehyde dimethylacetal and 1-amino-2-propanol, followed by an acid-catalyzed cyclization step, afforded triazolo and imidazobenzodiazepines 1, 6, and 7, respectively, in good yields. When acetylhydrazine is used as a nucleophile, the overall process provides an alternative route to alprazolam (1b) and triazolam (1c), respectively.

- Phosphorylation of cyclic amides
-
Compounds of the general formula STR1 are reacted with a strong base followed by a phosphorylating agent, such as dicyclicaminophosphinic halide or bis-di-lower alkylaminophosphinic halide to produce an imine of the formula STR2 wherein R is dicyclicaminophosphinyloxy or bis-di-lower alkylaminophosphinyloxy. R represents a leaving group which will undergo nucleophilic displacement with nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur and carbon containing nucleophiles, that is, nucleophiles which have, as a reactive site, a nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur or carbon atom, such that, when the cyclic imine undergoes nucleophilic displacement, there is formed C--N, C--O, C--S and C--C bonds between the carbon atom of the cyclic imine and the nucleophilic group. The end products may be utilized as intermediates in the production of pharmaceutically valuable compounds and, in some instances, are pharmaceutically valuable compounds per se.

- Kinetics and mechanism of the equilibrium reaction of triazolam in aqueous solution
-
The equilibrium kinetics of triazolam in aqueous solution was investigated in the pH range of 1-11 at body temperature. The quantitative study indicated that it forms equilibrium mixtures consisting of ring-opened and closed forms with the composition being dependent on pH. The equilibrium constants of the two species in the pH range studied were determined by GLC method. The apparent first-order rate constants were estimated from the decreasing or increasing absorbance of the mixture in solutions. The forward-reaction rate constant (k(f)) showed a bell-shaped k(f)-pH profile with a rate maximum at pH 4.59, which indicates not only that the carbinolamine intermediate forms during equilibrium reaction, but that the rate-determining step of the reaction differs for the acidic and basic side of the rate maximum. The reverse-reaction rate constant decreased with increasing pH and could not be estimated in the pH region >5.65. Theoretical curves for both forward and reverse reactions satisfactorily fit the observed data. The pKa values of triazolam and its opened-form amine were estimated to be 1.52 and 6.50, respectively.

- Novel synthesis of the pharmacologically important 1-substituted-6-phenyl-4H-s-triazolo[4,3-α][1,4]benzodiazepines
-
Several 6-phenyl-4H-s-triazolo[4,3-α][1,4]benzodiazepines have useful biological activity both in experimental animals and in man. This manuscript describes a novel synthesis of these compounds from intermediates that do not have a pre-formed benzodiazepine ring system.
