Reactions of (4-fluoro-2-iodophenyl)acetic or (2-bromo-4-fluorophenyl)acetic acid with 4-methylthiophenol, 4-ethylthiophenol and 4-isopropylthiophenol under various conditions afforded the acids IIIa-c which were cyclized with polyphosphoric acid to 8-alkyl-3-fluorodibenzo-[b,f]thiepin-10(11H)-ones IVa-c. The alcohols Va-c, which were obtained by reduction of the ketones with sodium borohydride, were transformed by treatment with hydrogen chloride to the chloro derivatives Via-c. Their substitution reactions with 1-methylpiperazine and 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine afforded the title compounds Ib, Ic and IIa. The corresponding 2-alkyl-7-fluorodibenzo[b,f]thiepins VIIa-c were obtained as by-products. Reaction of the ketone IVc with 1-methylpiperazine in the presence of titanium tetrachloride gave the enamine VIII. The piperazine derivatives prepared are very potent neuroleptic agents with regard to their acute activities. Important prolongation of the effects was found mainly with the isopropyl compounds Ic and VIII.

Acids IIa-c were prepared by reactions of (4-fluoro-2-iodophenyl)acetic acid with 4-methoxythiophenol, 4-ethoxythiophenol and 4-(ethylthio)thiophenol and cyclized with polyphosphoric acid in boiling toluene to dibenzo[b,f]thiepin-10(11H)-ones IIIa-c. Reduction with sodium borohydride afforded the alcohols IVa-c which were treated with hydrogen chloride and gave the chloro derivatives Va-c. Substitution reactions with 1-methylpiperazine resulted in the title compounds Ia-c out of which the methoxy derivative Ia was transformed by demethylation with boron tribromide to the phenol Id. Compounds Ia-d are very potent neuroleptics exhibiting a clear prolongation of the central depressant and some prolongation of the cataleptic activity.

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.

A reaction of (4-fluoro-2-iodophenyl)acetic acid with 4-(trifluoromethyl)thiophenol gave the acid VIII which was cyclized with the reagent consisting from methanesulphonic acid and phosphorus pentoxide and afforded the methanesulphonic enol ester XIX. The alkaline hydrolysis resulted in 3-fluoro-8-trifluoromethyldibenzo[b,f]thiepin-10(11H)-one (XVI) which was transformed via the alcohol XXIV to the chloro derivative XXV. Substitution reactions with 1-methylpiperazine and 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine resulted in the title compounds IV and V. These products are very potent cataleptic neuroleptic agents with a prolongation of duration of the effects comparable to that of isofloxythepin and tefluthixol. A series of further synthetic experiments aimed at alternative syntheses of the acid VIII and the ketone XVI; their results were mostly not of use for preparative purpose but they led to isolation and characterization of a series of interesting heterocyclic products (XVII, XVIII, XXII, XXIII, XXIX-XXXI, XXXVI-XXXIX).

The reaction of 2,3-dichlorothiophenol with 2-iodobenzoic acid gave 2-(2,3-dichlorophenylthio)benzoic acid (V) which was transformed in four steps to the homological acid IX. Cyclization resulted in 6,7-dichlorodibenzo[b,f]thiepin-10(11H)-one (X) which was converted via the alcohol XI to the trichloro compound XII. Substitution reactions of XII with 1-methylpiperazine and 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine afforded the title compound I and its hydroxyethyl analogue II. Reaction of the ketone X with 1-methylpiperazine and titanium tetrachloride gave the enamine III. Compounds I-III exhibit mild central depressant and relatively strong cataleptic activity.

The acid VI, prepared by reaction of potassium salts of (2-iodo-5-methoxyphenyl)acetic acid and 4-(methylthio)thiophenol in the presence of copper, was transformed via intermediates VII-IX to 2-methoxy-8-methylthio-10-piperazino-10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f]thiepins X and XI. Their demethylation with boron tribromide afforded 2-hydroxy derivatives of the neuroleptic agents methiothepin and oxyprothepin I and II. 11-Chloro-7-methoxy-2-methylthio-10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f]thiepin was subjected to substitution reactions with 1-methylpiperazine and 1-(ethoxycarbonyl)piperazine and gave piperazine derivatives XIII and XIV, out of which the latter gave the secondary amine XV by alkaline hydrolysis. The ethers XIII and XV were also cleaved with boron tribromide and gave 3-hydroxy derivatives of methiothepin (III) and its demethyl derivative IV. The phenols I, II, and IV are potential metabolites of the mentioned neuroleptic agents; compound III, which already was identified as a metabolite, disclosed properties of a strong and cataleptic neuroleptic agent with prolonged duration of the effects. The methoxy compounds X, XI, and XIII are practically devoid of the neuroleptic activity.

Reactions of 3-methylthiophenol and 3-ethylthiophenol with 2-iodobenzoic acid and (2-iodophenyl)acetic acid in the presence of potassium hydroxide and copper gave the acids IVab and Xab. The acids IVab afforded by cyclization with sulfuric acid mixtures of 1- and 3-alkylthioxanthones (Va + VIa, Vb + VIb) which were separated by crystallization or chromatography and the individual compounds were identified by spectra. The slightly prevailing 3-alkyl derivatives Vab were reacted with 3-dimethylaminopropylmagnesium chloride to give the tertiary alcohols VIIab which were transformed by the acid catalyzed dehydration to the title compounds Iab. 1-Ethylthioxanthone (VIb) afforded similarly via the tertiary alcohol VIII the title compound IX. The acids Xab were cyclized with polyphosphoric acid unequivocally to the ketones XIab which were converted via the alcohols XIIab to the chloro derivatives XIIIab. Substitution reactions with 1-methylpiperazine and 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine led to the title compounds IIab and IIIb. The compounds prepared (I-III) have antihistamine activity and are more or less central depressant. Compounds Ib, IIb and IIIb revealed a clear cataleptic activity and compound Ib showed also antireserpine activity. Compound IX is centrally depressant only in high doses but it has anticonvulsant effects and a significant antitussive effect.

Substitution reactions of 8,10-dichloro-3-methoxy-10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f]thiepin with 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine and 1-(3-hydroxypropyl)piperazine gave the piperazine derivatives IX andX; their demethylation with boron tribromide led to unfavourable results. New procedure for the synthesis of phenolic amines was elaborated starting with demethylation of 8-chloro-3-methoxydibenzo[b,f]thiepin-10(11H)-one with pyridine hydrochloride, followed by reduction of the hydroxyketone XIII to the diol XIV. Reaction with methanesulfonyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine resulted in the dimethanesulfonic ester XV which was treated with 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine and 1-(3-hydroxypropyl)piperazine. The aliphatic sulfoester group underwent substitution, confirmed by isolation of compound XII. The aminolysis afforded phenolic compounds VII and VIII being potential metabolites of the neuroleptic agents noroxyclothepin (III) and oxyclothepin (IV). Both phenolic amino alcohols have only very low central depressant and cataleptic activity.

Substitution reactions of 2,6,10-trichloro-, 2,7,10-trichloro- and 2,8,10-trichloro-10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f]thiepin (Vabc) with 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine, 1-methylpiperazine and 1-benzylpiperazine gave the title compounds IIabc, IIIab and IVab. The new chloro compounds Va and Vb were obtained in 6 steps starting from reactions of 2,5-dichloroacetophenone with 2-chlorothiophenol or 3-chlorothiophenol. Compounds IIabc are 6-chloro, 7-chloro and 8-chloro derivatives of the noncataleptic neuroleptic agent docloxythepin (I). They are almost devoid of cataleptic activity and do not inhibit the apomorphine stereotypies in rats. Compounds IIab have a clozapine-like affinity to dopaminergic receptors in the rat brain striatum; the affinity of IIc is much higher. On the other hand only compounds IIb and IIIa prove a significant antidopaminergic activity in vivo (increase significantly the homovanillic acid level in the rat brain striatum).

Reactions of 5-fluoro, 5-chloro- and 5-bromo-2-iodobenzoic acid with 4-isopropylthiophenol in solutions of potassium hydroxide in the presence of copper gave the acids VIIabc which were transformed via the intermediates VIIIabc-Xabc to 2-[5-halogeno-2-(4-isopropylphenylthio)-phenyl]acetic acids XIabc. Their cyclization with polyphosphoric acid resulted in 2-halogeno-8-isopropyldibenzo[b,f]thiepin-10(11H)-ones XIIabc.The 2-iodo ketone XIId was obtained from 2-(2-chloro-5-nitrophenyl)acetic acid by treatment with 4-isopropylthiophenol, by the following reduction of the resulting nitro acid XIe with hydrazine to the amino acid XIf, by its cyclization to the amino ketone XIIf and finally by its diazotization and reaction with potassium iodide. The ketones XIIa-d were reduced to the alcohols XIIIa-d giving by treatment with hydrogen chloride the chloro compounds XIVa-d. Substitution reactions with 1-methylpiperazine and 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine afforded the title compounds Vabc and VIa-d. Only the fluoro derivatives Va and VIa showed a clear cataleptic activity in rats. The other compounds are very little active in this line and the iodo derivative VId was found to be completely inactive in a high oral dose, but it revealed an intensive antidopaminergic action in biochemical tests. By its pharmacological profile it resembles the known noncataleptic neuroleptic agent clozapine.
