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.

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.

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.

The acid XI, obtained by reaction of (2-iodo-5-methoxyphenyl)acetic acid with 4-(methylsulfonyl)thiophenol (VIII) in dimethylformamide in the presence of potassium carbonate and copper, was transformed via intermediates XIIa-XIVa to compound XVa. Demethylation with boron tribromide afforded compound III, the potential metabolite of oxyprothepin (II). Its oxidation with hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid gave the sulfoxide XVII, which is a further potential metabolite. A reaction of 2-iodo-4-methoxybenzoic acid with VIII and potassium carbonate in dimethylformamide in the presence of copper afforded the acid XIX whose ester XXI was reduced with diborane to the alcohol XXII; hydrogenolysis to compound XXIII was also observed. The alcohol XXII was processed via compounds XXIV and XXV to the acid XXVI which was cyclized in a low yield to the ketone XIIb. A further processing via the intermediates XIIIb and XIVb led to compound XVb. Demethylation gave compound IV, another potential metabolite.

[2-(4-Chloro-2-methoxyphenylthio)-5-methoxyphenyl]acetic acid (V) and [2-(4-chloro-2-methoxyphenylthio)-4-methoxyphenyl]acetic acid (XVII) were synthesized and cyclized to 8-chloro-2,6-dimethoxy (VII) and 8-chloro-3,6-dimethoxydibenzo[b,f]thiepin-10(11H)-one (XVIII). Two further steps afforded dichlorodimethoxy derivatives XI and XXII which reacted with 1-methylpiperazine and gave the 8-chloro-2,6-dimethoxy (II) and 8-chloro-3,6-dimethoxy derivative of 10-(4-methylpiperazino)-10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f]thiepin (IV). Demethylations with boron tribromide resulted in the title compounds I and III being new potential metabolites of the neuroleptic agent octoclothepin.

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).

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.

Cyclization of the acids IV-VII with sulfuric or polyphosphoric acid resulted in the thioxanthones VIIIa-d which were treated with 3-dimethylaminopropylmagnesium chloride and gave the amino alcohols Xa-d. Their acid catalyzed dehydrations afforded the methoxy derivatives of chlorprothixene IIIa-d, mostly in form of mixtures of geometric isomers. Whereas the results of attempts to demethylate these products with boron tribromide gave mostly unsatisfactory results, the demethylation with pyridine hydrochloride at 190-200 °C was successful; alcohols X were the most suitable starting materials. In this manner, the hydroxy derivatives of chloroprothixene IIa-d were obtained, mostly as pure geometric isomers. The configuration was assigned on the basis of their IR spectra. Z-Isomers are potential metabolites of the neuroleptic agent chlorprothixene (I). Compounds II and III are little toxic, have low central depressant activity and are inactive cataleptically.

[5-Chloro-2-(2-methoxyphenylthio)phenyl]acetic acid (VI), obtained via the acetophenone derivative IV, was cyclized to 2-chloro-6-methoxydibenzo[b,f]thiepin-10(11H)-one (VIIIa). 2,10-Dichloro-6-methoxy-10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f]thiepin (Xa) was prepared via the alcohol IXa and its substitution reaction with 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine gave the compound III. Demethylation with boron tribromide in chlorobenzene resulted in the title compound II which is a potential metabolite of the noncataleptic neuroleptic agent docloxythepin.

Reactions of 2-chloro- and 2-methyl-6,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,e]thiepin-11-ol with 2-bromoethanol in the presence of sulfuric acid in boiling benzene afforded the 2-bromoethyl ethers VIa and VIb which were transformed by substitution reactions with 1-methylpiperazine, 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-piperazine and 1-(ethoxycarbonyl)piperazine to the title compounds. Alkaline hydrolysis of the carbamate IVa gave the secondary amine IIIa. Treatment of the bromo ether VIa with 4-(4-chloro-3-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperidin-4-ol resulted in the piperidine derivative VIIa. Substitution reaction of 11-chloro-6,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,e]thiepin with 1-(2-methoxyethyl)piperazine and 1-(2-ethoxyethyl)piperazine led to the amino ethers VIII and IX. Reaction of 11-chloro-11-phenyl-6,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,e]thiepin with 2-dimethylaminoethanethiol in dimethylformamide at 90°C gave a mixture of two isomeric bases which was separated to the expected sulfide X and the base XII, resulting evidently after the rearrangement of the primary carbocation. A similar reaction of 3-dimethylaminopropanethiol afforded a single product of structure XI. Out of the compounds prepared, the ether VIII was found most interesting: it is little toxic and has significant antireserpine activity in two tests (is considered a potential antidepressant). The ethers Iab, Iab, IIIa and VIIa did not reveal the expected neuroleptic activity.

4-Methoxy-2-(phenylthio)benzoic acid (V) was transformed in four steps to the homologous acid IXa which was cyclized to 3-methoxydibenzo[b,f]thiepin-10(11H)-one (Xa). The 3-methoxy derivative III of perathiepin (I) was synthesized via the intermediates XIa and XIIa, and demethylated with boron tribromide to the phenolic compound II. The analogous 3-fluoro derivative IV was synthesized from (4-fluoro-2-iodophenyl)acetic acid (XVII), the preparation of which by several procedures is described. Whereas III has only mild tranquilizing activity, II is more potent than perathiepin (I) in the tests for central depressant and cataleptic effects. The 3-fluoro derivative IV, while lacking the properties of a neuroleptic agent, is highly central depressant and this effect shows some prolongation after oral administration.
