ABSTRACT
Based on the principle of base catalyzed condensation reaction of 1, 2-diamines with carbonyl compounds, an efficient method for the synthesis of fused 1, 4-diazepines was developed. High yields were obtained for both electron-releasing as well as electron-withdrawing substituted 1, 4-diazepine derivatives by the mentioned method.

INTRODUCTION: Compounds containing diazepine moieties are of significant interest in medicinal & pharmaceutical research due to their important biological activities 1. Besides being core unit of commercial drugs such as Diazepam, Oxazepam, Laurazepam, Anthramycin & Mazhethramycin; there are numerous Diazepines that are described with anti-inflammatory, anticancer, anti-HIV, antibacterial, herbicidal and PAF receptor antagonist activities 1, 2, 3. Investigators are motivated to continuously develop strategies for producing new diazepine-based compounds due to the surprisingly vast biological activities exhibited by diazepines 1.
In this context cross-condensation reactions have been of great value as they provide robust route to install desired substitution in diazepines. Recently many cross-condensation reactions have been reported for the synthesis of fused-diazepines. However, a large number of the modified methods reported in the literature, suffer from several drawbacks such as the use of a large amount of catalysts, unsatisfactory product yields and critical product isolation procedures.
The objective of current research article is to develop an efficient & practically useful procedure for the synthesis of fused-diazepines.
The common procedure for the synthesis of these compounds is a one pot condensation between o-phenylenediamines and carbonyl compounds.4 In the present research, base catalysed condensation of 1, 2-diamines with 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde is attempted to obtain the fused-diazepines with desired substitutions. The different derivatives are shown in Figure 1. The Infra-red spectra of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde suggests that hydroxyl group at 2-position of carbaldehyde is present as ketone, due to resonance (No broad peak at 3400-3600 cm-1).
Thus, the hypothesis for the reaction remains same, that is, base catalysed one pot condensation of 1, 2-diamines with carbonyl compounds. The principle of reaction is similar to Friedlaender Synthesis 5, which is utilized with modifications in the reactants. Similarly different derivatives were synthesised using substituted reactants are shown in Figure 2.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
General: Melting points were determined on a “Veego VMP-I” melting point apparatus and were uncorrected. FTIR spectra were taken on “Jasco FT/IR-410”, using KBr pressed pellet technique. The 1H-NMR spectra were run on a Bruker spectrometer in CDCl3 (300 MHz) using tetramethylsilane as internal standard. Chemicals were purchased from Aldrich, Himedia and Fluka. All the reactants were identified by comparison of melting points with those reported in the literature. The year of Experimentation was 2011, at the Appasaheb Birnale College of Pharmacy, Sangli, Maharashtra, India.
General procedure for the base catalysed condensation of 1, 2-diamines & 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde: A mixture of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthal- dehyde (1.72gm, 10 mmol), aliphatic or aromatic 1,2-diamine 1–5 (10 mmol) and triethylamine (4.04ml, 40 mmol) in 98 % EtOH (50 mL) was heated on heating mantle under reflux for 3.5 hrs at 78-80oC. Then the reaction mixture was cooled and the formed solid was collected by filtration and dried. The completion of reaction was monitored by TLC using ‘Toluene: Acetone” (5: 4) as mobile phase. Then the compounds were filtered and washed twice with ethanol (2 × 10 mL).
