Reclazepam is a drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative. It has sedative and anxiolytic effects similar to those produced by other benzodiazepine derivatives, and has a short duration of action.[1]

Synthesis

[edit]
Patent:[2] Chloroacetyl isocyanate:[3] Prec:[4]

The reduction of the lactam in Delorazepam with lithium aluminium hydride gives CID:20333776 (1). Condensation with 2-chloroacetylisocyanate [4461-30-7] (2) proceeds to afford urea, CID:20333773 (3). Reaction of that with sodium iodide and base probably proceeds initially by halogen exchange of iodine for chlorine (Finkelstein reaction). Subsequent replacement of iodide by the enol anion of the urea oxygen results in formation of the oxazolone ring. There is thus obtained reclazepam (4).

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
