[(L)Proline]2Zn Catalysed Synthesis of 1,5‐Benzodiazepine Derivatives Under Solvent‐Free Condition
摘要:
This communication demonstrates that a novel Lewis acid complex, Zn[(L)proline](2), catalysed one pot synthesis of 1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives under solvent-free conditions. The efficiency of the catalyst has been examined by conventional method and microwave irradiation technique. 1,5-Benzodiazepine is obtained in moderate to good yield (up to 93%) in all the reactions within a shorter reaction time under microwave irradiation. The recycling ability of the catalyst has also been evaluated. The catalyst is reusable up to five times without appreciable loss of its catalytic activity.
