Atropisomeric Properties of 9-Methyl-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones

The atropisomeric and conformational properties of 1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones were investigated by freezing the conformation with a methyl group at the C9 of 1,4-benzodiazepine. It was revealed that 1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones exist only as a pair of enantiomers [(a (1) R , a (2) S ) and (a (1) S , a (2)...

Summary:The atropisomeric and conformational properties of 1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones were investigated by freezing the conformation with a methyl group at the C9 of 1,4-benzodiazepine. It was revealed that 1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones exist only as a pair of enantiomers [(a (1) R , a (2) S ) and (a (1) S , a (2) R )], which was confirmed by X-ray analysis. The absolute configuration of each atropisomer was deduced by comparing the [alpha] (D) and CD data with those of (-)- N -methoxycarbonylmethylated 9-methyl-5-phenyl-1,4-benzodiaepin-2-one derivative. It was elucidated that the corresponding N -methylated derivative showed similar CD spectra, although the rotational direction of [alpha] (D) was opposite to that of others.
