Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c8ob00708j

Here, we report new methodology for synthesizing 2,3-benzodiazepines and their analogues by means of phosphate-assisted acylation reaction of 1-arylpropan-2-ones with a carboxylic acid followed by hydrazine cyclization in a one-pot two-step manner. An unp
