A reaction of 2-(bromomethyl)thioxanthone with sodium methanethiolate with sodium methanethiolate gave 2-(methylthiomethyl)thioxanthone (II) which was transformed by treatment with 3-dimethylaminopropylmagnesium chloride to the tertiary alcohol IV. Its dehydration by heating with dilute sulfuric acid afforded the title compound I. An attempt at preparing the analogous 2-(methoxymethyl) derivative proceeded similarly but failed in the stage of the acid-catalyzed dehydration of the tertiary alcohol V. Acids VIII-XII and the nitrile XIII were prepared as potential intermediates. Compound I has properties of a tranquilizer with a weak cataleptic activity.

In the reaction of thieno[2,3c]-2-benzothiepin-4(9H)-one (VI) with 1-methyl-4-piperidylmagnesium chloride 7-(1-methyl-4-piperidyl)thieno[2,3-c]-2-benzothiepin-4(9H)-one (VIII) is formed in addition to the expected amino alcohol VII. The title compound I was obtained by the acid catalyzed dehydration of the pure alcohol VII. Compound I (pipethiadene) has outstanding antihistamine, antiserotonin, antireserpine and anticataleptic activity and was recommended to clinical trials as a potential antimigraine agent. For pharmacokinetic and metabolic studies there were prepared the NC2H3 analogue of pipethiadene IV and further, as potential metabolites, the demethyl analogue III, S-oxide X, demethyl S-oxide XI, N-oxide XIII and N,S-dioxide XIV. The Witting reaction of the ketone VI with 3-dimethylaminopropylidenetriphenylphosphorane resulted in a mixture of geometric isomers of 4-(3-dimethylamino-propylidene)-4,9-dihydrothieno[2,3-c]-2-benzothiepin with the strongly predominating Z-isomer XVI which was isolated from the mixture by crystallization of the hydrogen maleate. The mixture with the predominating Z-isomer XVI was converted by the treatment with 80% sulfuric acid and dilution with water to a mixture with the predominating E-isomer XV (dithiadene) which was isolated by crystallization of the hydrogen sulfate. Some further new thieno[2,3-c]-2-benzothiepin derivatives were synthesized as potential intermediates.

A mixture of the epimeric ethyl 2-hydroxynorbornane-2-acetates (1) on treatment with concentrated sulfuric acid is converted in turn to the lactones of exo-2-hydroxynorbornane-1-acetic acid (4), endo-6-hydroxynorbornane-endo-2-acetic acid (5), and exo-3-hydroxynorbornane-exo-2-acetic acid (6). With trifluoroacetic acid or 50% sulfuric acid, 1 gives 4, but this does not react further. In concentrated sulfuric acid the parent acids of 1 (7) and (E)- and (Z)-(norborn-2-ylidene)acetic acids (8 and 9) and their ethyl esters (10 and 11) give 6 as the infinity product. A mixture of 5-norbornene-endo- and exo-2-acetic acid (30 and 31) on treatment with 50% sulfuric acid gives 4, 5, 6, and exo-2-hydroxynorbornane-syn-7-acetic acid lactone (33). Routes are proposed for the formation of the lactones that involve protonation and carbocation formation followed by rearrangement via Wagner–Meerwein, endo-6,2-hydride, and exo-3,2-hydride shifts in decreasing order of preference. It is postulated that the usual inhibition of the rearrangement of tertiary to secondary norbornyl carbocations is not operative when the third substituent is a carboxymethyl group or its derivatives because of the electron-withdrawing properties of such groups relative to simple alkyl groups. A preliminary study has shown that exo-5-acetyloxy-endo-2-hydroxynorbornane-exo-2-acetic acid (35) with 50% sulfuric acid gives four products that are considered to be the γ-lactones of endo-5-acetyloxy- and endo-5-hydroxynorbornane-1-acetic acid (38 and 39) and exo-2-acetyloxy-1-hydroxy-and 1,2-dihydroxynorbornane-syn-7-acetic acid (40 and 41). Protonation of either the hydroxyl or acetyloxyl group is postulated, giving two carbocations that undergo rearrangements as in the case of 1, together with 3,2-hydroxyl shifts. The structures of the lactones are assigned on the basis of spectroscopy, reactivity, and analogy. The reactions of the lactones, which lead to a variety of hydroxy- and oxonorbornaneacetic acids, illustrate their synthetic potential.
