Abstract: A 1-alkyl-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepine derivative is produced by contacting a 1-aminoethyl-indole derivative with a suitable oxidizing agent and then reducing the resulting 1-acyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,4-benzodiazepine derivative. The starting 1-aminoethyl-indole derivative is prepared by subjecting a 3-phenyl-indole derivative to cyanomethylation (or carbamoylemethylation) and then reducing the resulting 1-cyanomethyl- (or 1-carbamoylmethyl)-indole derivative. The 1-acyl-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepine derivative is useful as a tranquillizer, muscle-relaxant, etc.
