Bismuth (III) Salts Promoted and Ionic Liquid Assisted an Efficient and Environmentally Benign One-Pot Synthesis of 1,5-Benzodiazepine Derivatives.

Abstract

1,5-Benzodiazepine derivatives were synthesized by the condensation reactions of o-phenylenediamine and ketones catalyzed by bismuth (III) salts under mild conditions. This method is easy, efficient, environment and eco-friendly, free of toxic catalysts, and gives good to excellent yields of 1, 5-benzodiazepines.
