    Abstract:
    The synthesis of some pyrrolobenzodiazepine derivatives related to oxotomaymycin, an antibiotic recovered together with tomaymycin from fermentation broths of Streptomyces achromogenes var. tomaymycetics, is described. Reaction between 2-nitro-4-benzyloxy-5-methoxybenzylbromide and pyrrole-2-carboxyaldehyde afforded 1-(2-nitro-4-benzyloxy-5-methoxybenzyl)pyrrole-2-carboxyaldehyde. Catalytic reduction of this compound with hydrogen in the presence of Pd/C gave 10,11-dihydro-8-hydroxy-7-methoxy-5H-pyrrolo[2.1-c] [1,4]benzodiazepine. Amides obtained from condensation between 2-nitro-4-benzyloxy-5-methoxybenzoic acid chloride and proline or hydroxyproline were reduced catalytically to 2,3-dihydro-8-hydroxy-7-methoxy-1H-pyrrolo [2,1-c] [1,4]benzodiazepine-5,11 (10H, 11aH)-dione and its 2-hydroxyderivative respectively. The synthesis of 10,11-dihydro-8-hydroxy-9-methoxy-5-pyrrolo [2,1-c] [1,4]benzodiazepine is also reported.
