Kinetic and mechanistic studies on the hydrolysis and photodegradation of diazepam and alprazolam

The corresponding o-aminobenzophenones are usually reported as the main degradation products in the hydrolysis of 1,4-benzodiazepinones. Nevertheless, in previous studies of diazepam (DZ) in acidic aqueous medium we isolated and characterized seven unexpected degradation products. Kinetic measuremen...
