Abstract
A synthesis of the title compounds II and III, potential metabolites of the neuroleptic agent perathiepin I, was carried out. A reaction of (2-iodo-5-methoxyphenyl)acetic acid with 4-methoxythiophenol afforded the acid VI. The isomeric acid XI was obtained from 2-iodo-4-methoxybenzoic acid by reaction with 4-methoxythiophenol and via intermediates VIII-X. Both acids (VI,XI) were cyclized with polyphosphoric acid to dimethoxydibenzo[b,f]thiepin-10(11H)-onesXIIab which were transformed via the alcohols XIIIab to the chloro compounds XIVab. Substitution reactions with 1-methylpiperazine gave the piperazine derivatives IV and V and dimethoxydibenzo[b,f]thiepins XVab. The dimethoxy compounds IV and V were demethylated with boron tribromide to the diaminodiphenols II and III. The central depressant and cataleptic activity of compounds II-V is lower than that of the unsubstituted substance I.
