Heating of 1-(2-iodobenzoyl)-4-methylpiperazine (II) with thiophenol and its 2-methyl, 4-methyl, 4-chloro and 2-hydroxymethyl derivatives in dimethylformamide in the presence of potassium carbonate, copper and cuprous iodide gave the piperazides IV-VIII; compound VIII was transformed by reduction with lithium aluminium hydride to the title compound I. The acid IX, obtained by a reaction of 5-chloro-2-iodobenzoic acid with 2-methylthiophenol, was reduced to the alcohol X, which was transformed via the chloride XI to 1-[5-chloro-2-(2-methylphenylthio)-benzyl]-4-methylpiperazine (XII), an open model of the neuroleptic agent clorothepin. Heating of 2,5-dichloroacetophenone with thiosalicylic acid afforded the keto acid XIII whose reaction with 1-methylpiperazine was carried out with the help of N,N"-carbonyldiimidazole. The piperazide XIV obtained was reduced on the one hand with sodium borohydride to the secondary alcohol XV, and with lithium aluminium hydride to 1-(2-[4-chloro-2-(1-hydroxyethyl)phenylthio]benzyl)-4-methylpiperazine (XVI) on the other. None of the dibasic piperazines (I, XII, XVI) did show antireserpine activity. In the general screening, some of the piperazides displayed a mild hypotensive (II, VIII, XIV, XV), adrenolytic (VIII), mild stimulating and antitussic (V), and spasmolytic, antiinflammatory and negatively ino- and chronotropic (XIV) activities.

The isofloxythepin (I) metabolite IV was synthesized via the acids IX and XI and the esters X and XII. The enamine VIII was prepared from 3-fluoro-8-(2-propyl)dibenzo[b,f]thiepin-10(11H)-one by two methods and was reduced to I. Cloflumide (II) was obtained by reaction of 2,10-dichloro-7-fluoro-10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f]thiepin with 3-(1-piperazinyl)propionamide and was oxidized to the sulfoxide XVI. The unsaturated analogue XVII of clopithepin (III) was prepared from 2-chlorodibenzo[b,f]thiepin-10(11H)-one by reaction with 2-bromoethanol in the presence of 4-toluenesulfonic acid in boiling benzene and by the following substitution reaction with 2-(1-piperazinyl)ethanol. An improved synthesis of 6-methyldibenzo[b,f]thiepin-10(11H)-one (XIX) was elaborated. The acid XXVII was synthesized and cyclized with polyphosphate ester. A mixture of compounds was formed from which the ketone XXXVI was isolated and processed by reaction with formamide and formic acid at 200 °C. One of the products was characterized as the formamide XXXIII and was reduced with lithium aluminium hydride to a basic product supposed to be XXXIV. A series of by-products was isolated and characterized. The enamine VIII (V⁄FB-17 156) was found to be a strong neuroleptic agent, similar to isofloxythepin (I). The enol ether XVII (V⁄FB-17 733) was characterized as a mild, practically noncataleptic neuroleptic agent.

1-(11H-Dibenz[b,f]-1,4-oxathiepin-11-yl)methyl-4-piperidone (XIII), which was obtained from 11H-dibenz[b,f]-1,4-oxathiepin-11-carboxylic acid (VIII) in four steps, was treated with isobutylmagnesium bromide and gave the title compound V in addition to the prevailing quantity of the secondary alcohol VI, i.e. the product of reduction. Synthesis of a series of trisubstituted benzyl phenyl sulfide derivatives XVIII-XXIV, XXVI-XXXI is described; these compounds are potential intermediates in the preparation of 11H-dibenz[b,f]-1,4-oxathiepinacetic acids XVI and XVII. Chloromethylation of 11H-dibenz[b,f]-1,4-oxathiepin (VII) and two further usual steps gave an acid to which structure XVI is assigned. Compound V is an open model of "oxathiaisobutaclamol" and in agreement with this fact it behaves like a neuroleptic agent: it increases the turnover and metabolism of dopamine in the rat brain striatum which is manifested by a significant rise of homovanillic acid level.

It was shown that many silicon–carbon bonds were readily broken by lithium aluminium hydride in refluxing tetrahydrofuran. The rate of cleavage was dependent upon the nature of the leaving group and of the other groups present on the silicon. Carbon–tin bonds were cleaved more readily than carbon–silicon bonds while carbon–germanium bonds were not cleaved.

Ethyl (2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)acetate was transformed by ester exchange to the 2-dimethylaminoethyl ester VI which was converted to the choline iodide ester VII. The mixed anhydride of (2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)acetic acid and monoethyl carbonate was reacted with ethyl aminoacetate to give the ester VIII which was transformed on the one hand to the amide IX, and to the 2-dimethylaminoethyl ester X on the other. Reaction of the latter with methyl iodide afforded a further choline iodide ester XI. Reactions of (2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)acetyl chloride with 4-chloroaniline and 3-aminopyridine gave the amides XII and XIV. The anilide XIII was obtained from 2-(2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)butyric acid and 4-chloroaniline by means of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The benzo analogue (XV) of piracetam (I) was synthesized from oxindole via the ester XVI. The anilide XII (V⁄FB-16 536) was found to potentiate significantly the anticonvulsant effect of diazepam in mice, to prolong the survival time of mice under conditions of nitrogen anoxia, and to prolong significantly the duration of the "gasping reflex" in mice.

This review is devoted to the general methods for obtaining guanidine derivatives and related compounds, their chemical properties, and structural features. On the one hand, guanidine and its derivatives play a crucial role in the metabolism of living organisms. On the other hand, owing to their unique properties and simple synthesis, the guanidine derivatives are used as synthetic drugs and biocidal agents, catalysts, ligands, and sweeteners. Furthermore, the guanidine derivatives serve as a basis for the creation of modern smart materials.

Heating of 2,5-diphenylvaleric acid with 2-phenylethylamine, 1-phenyl-2-propylamine, 1-phenyl-2-butylamine (IX), 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-propylamine, 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-butylamine (X) and 1-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-propylamine to 200-210 °C resulted in the amides IIb-VIIb which were reduced with lithium aluminium hydride in boiling dibutyl ether to give the amines IIa, IIIa, and Va - VIIa. A similar two-step sequence starting from 4-phenyl-4-(phenylthio)-butyric acid and the amine IX gave compound VIIIa. The salts of the title amines revealed some central stimulating, antireserpine, thiopental potentiating, anticonvulsant, and antiarrhythmic effects. 1-(4-Dimethylaminophenyl)-2-butylamine (XI), prepared in this connection, proved anoretic activity.

Diazotization of 4-fluoroanthranilic acid (V) and the following reaction with sodium disulfide gave the dithio diacid VII which was reduced with lithium aluminium hydride to 4-fluoro-2-mercaprobenzyl alcohol (XI). Its reaction with 2-chloro-5-iodothiophene afforded the alcohol XIII which was transformed via the chloride XIV and the nitrile XV to [2-(5-chloro-2-thienylthio)-4-fluorophenyl]acetic acid (XVI). Cyclization with phosphorus pentoxide in toluene resulted in 2-chloro-8-fluorothieno[2,3-b]-1-benzothiepin-4(5H)-one (XVIII) which was converted via the alcohol XIX to the chloro derivative XX. The substitution reaction with 1-methylpiperazine led to the title compound IV which is a long-acting and very potent tranquillizer but did not reveal, in the animal tests performed, the properties of a neuroleptic agent.

The ozonolysis of phyllocladene (2) and isophyllocladene (12) has been carried out under a number of different conditions and the ozonide (34) of isophyllocladene has been isolated and characterized. Conversion of phyllocladene (2) into the diacid (20) has been accomplished by several routes from the norketone (3). Isophyllocladene (12) has been converted into (+)-podocarp-8(14)-en-13-one (1), an optically active relay which is useful in synthesis. The route involves ozonolysis of isophyllocladene, Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of the keto aldehyde (25), lithium aluminium hydride reduction of the ester (27), and chromium trioxide-pyridine oxidation of the resulting keto aldehyde (32) which gives the keto acid (30) in 26% overall yield. Oxidative decarboxylation then affords the enone (1) in 14% yield.

Claisen reaction of 3,4-dimethoxyphenylacetonitrile with ethyl phenylacetate, the following stepwise hydrolysis and decarboxylation afforded the amide V 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropan-2-one (VI). Leuckart reaction resulted in the crude formamide derivative IIIb which was subjected to alkaline hydrolysis to the primary amine Ib on the one hand, and to reduction to the secondary amine IIb on the other. Demethylation with hydrobromic acid gave hydrobromides of 1-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-phenyl-2-propylamine (title compound Ia) and its N-methyl derivative IIa. The alcohol VII, obtained by reduction of the ketone VI, was transformed by treatment with thionyl chloride to the chloro compound VIII which afforded by substitution reaction with 1-methylpiperazine the piperazine derivative IX. While the methoxylated amines Ib and IIb have mild stimulating and some antiarrhythmic effects, N-methyl-α-benzyldopamine (IIa) displayed a clear dopaminomimetic character.

Reduction of diethyl 2,3-O-isopropylidene-DL-tartrate (II) with lithium aluminium hydride afforded 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-threo-4,5-dimethanol (III) which was transformed to the monotosyl derivative VI. Reaction of this compound with sodium salt of adenine, followed by acidic deblocking, gave 9-(DL)-threo-(2,3,4-trihydroxybutyl)adenine (IX). Analogously, 9-(DL)-erythro-(2,3,4-trihydroxybutyl)adenine (XVII) was prepared from diethyl meso-tartrate (XI) via the diol XIII and the tosyl derivative XV. 1,3-O-Benzylidene-D-threitol (D-XVIII) was converted successively into the 4-O-tosyl derivative XIX and the 2-O-benzoyl-4-O-tosyl derivative XX. Reaction of the compound XX with sodium salt of adenine, followed by removal of the protecting groups in the intermediate XXI, afforded 9-(D)-threo-(2,3,4-trihydroxybutyl)adenine (D-XXII); analogously, 1,3-O-benzylidene-L-threitol (L-XVIII) was transformed into the 9-(L)-threo-derivative L-XXII. The D-threo-derivative D-XXII was prepared also from 5-O-tosyl-3-O-benzoyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-xylofuranoside (XXIII) or from 3-O-benzyl derivative XXIX by condensation with sodium salt of adenine, followed by acidic hydrolysis, degradation of the 1,2-diol grouping by sodium periodate and sodium borohydride, and methanolysis or hydrogenolysis. An analogous procedure was used for preparation of 1-(D)-threo-(2,3,4-trihydroxybutyl)uracil (D-XXVII). Methyl 2,3-O-isopropylidene-5-benzoyl-6-tosyl-D-mannofuranoside (XXXVI) was transformed to the 5-(adenin-9-yl) derivative XXXVII which after hydrolysis of the dioxolane ring, followed by cleavage of the cis-diol with sodium periodate, reduction with sodium borohydride and methanolysis, afforded 9-(D)-erythro-(2,3,4-trihydroxybutyl)adenine (D-XL). The L-enantiomer (L-XL) was obtained from 5-O-(adenin-9-yl)-3-O-benzoyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-β-L-arabinofuranoside (XXXIIIb) by acidic cleavage, degradation of the intermediate XXXIV with periodate and methanolysis.
