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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[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.

The synthesis of a series of 6-fluoro-10-piperazino-10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f]thiepins Ic-IIIc, Vc and VIc is described; these compounds are derivatives of the neuroleptic agents perathiepin (Ia), octoclothepin (IIIa), doclothepin (Va) and their hydroxyethyl analogues IIa and VIa in which the metabolic hydroxylation to position 6 was made impossible by blockade. The synthesis used common procedures via the intermediates VII-XVIII. Fluorination in position 6 does not influence much the pharmacological profile of the compounds indicating that hydroxylation in position 6 is only a minor metabolic pathway. The most interesting substance is the 6-fluoro derivative of octoclothepin (IIIc) which is a potent central depressant and neuroleptic agent with some protraction of the sedative effects.

[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.

Reactions of (2-iodophenyl)acetic acid with 4-(dimethylamino)thiophenol, 4-piperidinothiophenol, and 4-morpholinothiophenol in boiling aqueous potassium hydroxide solutions in the presence of copper gave the arylacetic acids IVabc which were cyclized with polyphosphoric acid at 130 °C to 8-(tert.amino)dibenzo[b,f]thiepin-10(11H)-ones Vabc. The following reactions with 1-methylpiperazine in boiling benzene in the presence of titanium tetrachloride afforded the enamines IIabc. Compounds IIa and IIc were reduced with diborane to the 10,11-dihydro compounds Ia and Ic. Compound Ia (the 8-dimethylamino derivative of perathiepin) is a typical incisive neuroleptic agent with very strong cataleptic, antiapomorphine, central depressant, and antiadrenergic activities. The morpholino derivative Ic and the enamines IIb and IIc are less active.

The reaction of several substituted o- nitronitrosobenzenes with O- and p- anisidine , and 2,4- dimethoxyaniline in acetic acid gives in good yield the corresponding enitroazobenzenes which are readily reduced with thiourea dioxide ( formamidinesulfinic acid) to the corresponding 2-(methoxypheny1)-2H-benzotriazoles, demethylation of which furnished the corresponding 2- (hydroxypheny1)-2H-benzotriazoles. Demethylation of the dimethoxy derivatives was best accomplished with boron tribromide in methylene chloride, the methoxy group located ortho to the benzotriazole ring being demethylated more readily than is the para-methoxy group. The reaction of enitroazobenzenes containing a methoxy group with hydrobromic acid in acetic acid results in cleavage of the azo bond and also partial bromination to give o- nitroaniline and some of its brominated derivatives.
