Abstract

3,5-Dichloro-2-iodobenzoic acid (IV), prepared from 3,5-dichloroanthranilic acid (III), was transformed in 5 steps into the diphenyl sulfide-2-acetic acids IXab. Cyclization resulted in ketones XVab which were processed in further 3 steps into the title compounds Iab and IIa. These products are mild tranquilizers devoid of cataleptic and antiapomorphine activity.
