Abstract

Alkylation of 1-ethoxycarbonylpiperazine with 4-fluorobenzyl bromide, 2-(4-fluorophenyl)ethyl bromide and 4,4-bis(4-fluorophenyl)butyl bromide gave the carbamates IIa, IIb and IIf. Two further similar compounds (IIc, IId) were obtained by reactions of 1-(2-chloroethyl)-4-ethoxycarbonylpiperazine with 4-fluorophenol, and with 4-fluorothiophenol, respectively. Hydrolysis of carbamates IIa-f resulted in piperazine derivatives IIIa-f affording the title compounds by substitution reactions with 2,11-dichloro-10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f]thiepin. Out of the compounds prepared only the fluorophenethyl derivative Ib and the fluorobenzoylpropyl derivative Ie maintain the neuroleptic character, i.e. clear central depressant and cataleptic activity.
