Study on the preparation of 2-amino-5-chloro-benzophenone an important intermediate for synthesis of sedative-hypnotic diazepam.
Abstract
Important intermediate in the synthesis of diazepam is 2-amino-5-chloro-benzophenone (2). It was prepared in fours steps from the chlorobenzene through 4-nitro-ehlorobenzene (5), 4-amino chlorobenzene (6) and 4-(N-benzoylamido)ehlorobenzene (7). The structure of all compounds 2, 5,6,7 were supported by analitycal and spectroscopic evidences
