BROTIZOLAM Usage And Synthesis

Description

Brotizolam is a hypnotic/sedative approximately 60-100 times more potent than flurazepam. As with other short-acting, annulated benzodiazepines (e.g., triazolam), cited advantages include lack of adverse effects on sleep and performance after arousal.

Chemical Properties

Tan Solid

Originator

Boehringer Ingelheim (W. Germany)

Uses

A hypnotic and a sedative, also used in veterinary medicine as an appetite stimulant

Definition

ChEBI: Brotizolam is an organic molecular entity.

Manufacturing Process

(a) 11.5 g of 7-bromo-5-(o-chlorophenyl)-3H-[2,3e]-thieno-1,4-diazepin-2- one (see German Patent 2,221,623), were heated at 55° to 60°C with 100 cc of absolute pyridine and 6.5 g of phosphorus pentasulfide for 4 hours while stirring. The mixture was allowed to cool and was then poured into 100 cc of saturated ice-cold NaCl solution. The precipitate was collected by suction filtration, washed with water, dissolved in 100 cc of methylene chloride, the solution was dried and evaporated, and the residue was treated with a little methylene chloride. After suction filtration, 6 g of brown crystalline 7-bromo- 5-(o-chlorophenyl)-3H-[2,3e]-thieno-1,4-diazepine-2-thione, melting point 214°C (decomposition) were obtained.
(b) 6.0 g of this compound were suspended in 100 cc of tetrahydrofuran, and the suspension was stirred at room temperature with 1.2 g of hydrazine hydrate for 20 minutes. After evaporation to about 10 cc, 20 cc of ether were added, and the crystals were collected by suction filtration. Yield: 5.2 g of 7- bromo-5-(o-chlorophenyl)-2-hydrazino-3H-[2,3e]-thieno-1,4-diazepine, melting point about 300°C (decomposition).
(c) 5.2 g of this compound were suspended in 50 cc of orthotriethyl acetate, and the suspension was heated to 80°C. After about 30 minutes a clear solution was first formed from which later colorless crystals separated out. The mixture was allowed to cool, and the crystals were collected by suction filtration and washed with ether. Yield: 5 g of the compound, melting point 211° to 213°C.
