Synthesis

edit

The lactam moiety in benzodiazepams is active towards nucleophiles and numerous analogues have been made by exploiting this fact.

 
Cyprazepam synthesis:[1]

For example, heating demoxepam with N-cyclopropylmethylamine leads to amidine formation, the minor tranquilizer cyprazepam.
