Abstract
The seven-membered ring in the title compound, C18H16N2O, adopts a boat conformation with the two phenylene carbons representing the stern and the methylene C atom the prow. The dihedral angle between the best plane through the seven-membered ring and the phenyl ring is 62.13 (3)°.

Comment
The compound belongs to the class of benzodiazepine drugs; the background to this class of pharmaceutically potent compounds is explained in an earlier report (Ahabchane et al., 1999). It is readily synthesized by reacting 4-phenyl-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one with allyl bromide in the presence of a catalyst. The compound features a seven-membered ring fused with a phenylene ring (Scheme I, Fig. 1).
Experimental
To a solution of 4-phenyl-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one (1 g, 4.2 mmol) in DMF (20 ml) was added allyl bromide (0.5 g, 4.2 mmol), potassium carbonate (1 g, 7.4 mmol) and a catalytic quantity of tetra-n-butylammonium bromide. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 h. The solution was filtered and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from ethanol to afford the title compound as colorless crystals.
Refinement
H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95–0.99 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2Ueq(C).
