Synthesis and photochemical behaviour of 3H-1,2-benzodiazepines
Abstract
The previously unknown 3H-1,2-benzodiazepines (3) are prepared from the 1H-isomers (1) in high yields and the energy barriers to ring inversion are estimated from n.m.r. spectral data; irradiation of the diazepines (3) affords 3-vinylindazole and indenes.
