“…Solid-phase synthetic strategies have been applied to prepare 4,5-dihydro-1 H -[1,5]benzodiazepin-2-one derivatives. , Xiaoxia Wang and co-workers have demonstrated that o -phenylenediamine reacted with N -cinnamoylbenzotriazoles via 1,4-addition to afford 1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-ones . In addition, several other groups also reported their studies on this subject . However, to the best of our knowledge, only one example of enantioselective synthesis of these compounds has been described.…”
