Polyfluorochalcones react with o-phenylenediamine in ethanol and 2-propanol in the presence of triethylamine or benzyltriethylammonium chloride (TEBAC) affording polyfluorinated 2,4-diaryl-2,3-dihydrobenzo-1Н-1,5-diazepines. Along with the latter in the presence of triethylamine Michael aza-adducts presumably formed, and at the use of TEBAC in 2-propanol products of intramolecular cyclization and rearrangement of benzo-1,5-diazepines, dihydrobenzimidazo[1,2-a]quinolines were obtained. The reactions of polyfluorochalcones with p-phenylenediamine in ethanol or DMF proceed mostly with the substitution of the para-fluorine atom in the perfluorophenyl rings.Chalcones reaction with o-phenylenediamine is one of the main procedures of the preparation of benzo-1Н-1,5-diazepines [1], an important heterocycle class with versatile biological actions used as antidepressants, tranquilizing, antiphlogistic, anticonvulsant, antifeedant, antibacterial, and analgesic agents [2][3][4][5]. The synthesis of benzo-1,5-diazepines from chalcones and o-phenylenediamine is commonly carried out in the presence of bases, acids, or salts [1, 6-8]. It is expectable that fluorine atoms and polyfluorinated residues in the benzodiazepine molecule would significantly affect its biological properties [9, 10].We formerly investigated reactions of polyfluorinated chalcones with nitrogen binucleophiles: hydrazine hydrate, phenylhydrazine [11], o-aminothiophenol [12] leading to the formation of various polyfluorinated azaheterocycles. The preliminary communication [13] contains the description of the first results of reactions between polyfluorochalcones 1а-1с and o-phenylenediamine. In this study the number of substrates and reagents was extended and the optimization of the reaction conditions was attempted.The reaction with o-phenylenediamine was performed for polyfluorinated chalcones 1a-1i, with pphenylenediamine, for compounds 1а-1c.Taking into consideration the easy substitution of fluorine in the perfluorophenyl rings of chalcones at
