Abstract The chlorinated tetracyclic 1,5-dichloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracen-12-yl)-N-methylmethanamine 1, a maprotiline analogue, has been synthesized via reduction and Diels–Alder reaction followed by reductive amination of Aldehyde 2. Density Functional Theory calculations were performed to identify the possible isomers of the intermediate compound aldehyde 2, these calculations were in a good agreement with experimental result where aldehyde 2 could exist in three isomers with comparable energies. In addition, the side chain of this aldehyde 2 was extended via Wittig reaction to obtain the unsaturated ester 5 that subjected to selective olefinic catalytic hydrogenation to obtain the corresponding saturated ester 6. 1D-NMR (DEPT) and 2D-NMR (HSQC, DQF-COSY) techniques were recruited for structural elucidation in addition to HRMS.
