Abstract
[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.
