2-Aminobenzophenone semicarbazones (II) or 2-aminobenzophenone phenylhydrazones (III) were cyclized to 3,7-disubstituted 5-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[e]-1,3,4-triazepines (IV) by treating them with paraformaldehyde. On the other hand, 3,7-disubstituted 2-oxo-5-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[e]-1,3,4-triazepines (V) were prepared by the fusion of II at 190–195°C or by the treatment of III with phosgene. In the latter reactions, 1-carboxy derivatives (VI) of V were obtained by using two equimolar amounts of phosgene. Vf was treated with sodium ethoxide to give a ring-cleavage product, 5-chloro-2-ethoxycarbonylaminobenzophenone phenylhydrazone (VIIIf), which was then fused to afford 6-chloro-1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-4-phenylquinazoline (VIIb).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
