Abstract

A series of N-substituted carbamates V-XIII was prepared by reactions of 6,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,e]thiepin-11-ol (I) with carbamates H2NCOOR in acetic acid. Whereas the Leuckart reaction of dibenzo[b,e]thiepin-11(6H)-one yielded 9-formamido-10-methylene-9,10-dihydroanthracene (XVIII), a satisfactory method for preparing the amine III was found in heating the carbamate V with 2-aminoethanol to 170°C. Reactions of the amine III with isocyanates gave most of the disubstituted ureas XX-XXV. The expected anticonvulsant activity was found only in high doses with compounds IX, XII, XV, XX, XXI and XXXIII.
