Synthesis of 1H- and 5H-1,3-diazepines from azido- and tetrazolo-pyridines
Abstract
Stable 1H-1,3-diazepines 7–9,10,13,14,17 and 19 are obtained, often in high yields, by photolysis of triflouoromethyl-substituted azido- or tetrazolo-pyridines in the presence of alcohols or amines; in some cases 5H-1,3-diazepines are also formed(11,21 and 23).
