Abstract
The general synthesis of nitro-substituted 1,3-dihydro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones from aminonitrobenzophenones and the specific synthesis of 1,3-dihydro-7-nitro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones by direct nitration of the corresponding unsubstituted benzodiaxepinones is described. The position of the nitro group was proved by its replacement by chlorine via a Sandmeyer reaction of the amine obtained by reduction. Alkylation of some of the benzodiazepinones gave the corresponding 1-alkyl derivatives. Mild acid hydrolysis of nitrobenzodiazepinones and 1-alkyl-nitrobenzodiazepinones led to several previously undescribed aminonitrobenzophenones. 2-Amino-5-nitrobenzophenone was converted aia the a-oxime into the corresponding 2-chloromethyl-6-nitro-4-phenylquinazoline 3-oxide and this compound when treated with nucleophilic reagents gave, by a ring expansion, 1,3-dihydro-7-nitro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one 4-oxide. The pharmacological properties of three nitrobenzodiazepine derivatives are reported. These compounds showed a low toxicity combined with sedative, muscle relaxant and anticonvulsant properties.

Abstract
7-Chloro-2-methylamino-5-phenvl-3H-1,4-benzodiazepine 4-oxide (I) and its acetyl derivative (II) can be hydrolyzed to 7-chloro-5-phenyl-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2(1H)-one 4-oxide (III). Other methods are described for the synthesis of this compound and its conversion into pharmacologically active beneodiazepinones.

Abstract
Alcoholic sodium hydroxide converts 6-chloro-2-chloromethyl-4-phenylquinazoline 3-oxide (I) into 7-chloro-5-phenyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepine-2-one 4-oxide (II). 7-Chloro-5-phenyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4benzodiazepine-2-one (III) was prepared by reduction of II and by several alternate routes. A number of analogs were made.

Thanks, now we 've got the articles online   .

In the future, there is more to come about the zepams.

[eXcidium]

Such as a full synthesis Of Flunitrazepam?

Rated by me as terrible offtopic!

Sorry, it's not about chemistry...
Only my own opinion.
Flunitrazepame is more dangerous then all opioids all together...

Sorry for all I said above, cause I tried this shit on my own skin...

[Megatherium]

Why is a reference to the patents of flunitrazepam off-topic?

Pharmacologically speaking, flunitrazepam is a hypnotic - just like nitrazepam, and unlike nordazepam which is a anxiolytic.   Flunitrazepam is more potent (dose being 1 - 2 mg) than nitrazepam (dose = 5 mg) though.

Second, I only answered the question:
Such as a full synthesis Of Flunitrazepam?

If my chemical appropriate answer is ought to be off-topic, why wasn't the above question rated that way to begin with?  It could just as well have saved me the effort to find the information.

Well, I just deleted the post & hope everybody can sleep well now    .

i think he was referring to his own post as off topic.
