The reaction of 2‐chloromethylquinazoline 3‐oxides (3) with the anion of nitromethane gave the 2‐nitromethylene benzodiazepine oxides (4) as a result of ring expansion. Other nucleophiles led only to products derived from substitution of the halogen. The ring expansion of 2,2‐dichloro‐1,2‐dihydroquinazolines with nitromethane anion is also described.
