The structure of temazepam was solved by direct methods and then refined to R = 0.057 (R w = 0.040) for 5108 intensities collected on a diffractometer. conformation with AC] = 3.5, 3.1 and 3.3 o for the three independent molecules. The 3-hydroxy group is in an equatorial position and the angles between the planes of both the phenyl rings are 66.0, 66.8 and 58.7 ° for the three molecules. The conformations and the bond lengths and angles in all three molecules are similar to each other and to those found in other 1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones.
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.
