Abstract

Reactions of 11-chloro-6,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,e]thiepin and its 2-methyl derivative, and further of the methanesulfonates of 2-chloro- and 2-bromo-6,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,e]thiepin-11-ol with 3-quinuclidinol afforded the title ethers I-IV. The 2-methyl compound II (VÚFB-17 088) showed significant antihistamine activity and the 2-chloro compound III (VÚFB-17 089), having antireserpine and anticataleptic activity, proved a potential antidepressant agent.
