Abstract
Possible routes for synthesis of 2-haloimidazo[4,5-e][1,4]diazepines are discussed. Conditions for chlorination differ for homologs of caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine. For the caffeine homolog, both the 2-chloroand 2,6,6-trichloro products are obtained depending on the synthetic conditions
