Synthesis

edit

The synthesis of monatepil was first disclosed in patents filed by Dainippon Pharmaceutical.[2]

 

The amino group of the dihydrodibenzothiepin (1) is first reacted with the acid chloride of 4-chlorobutyric acid, to give the amide (3). This is then used to alkylate para-fluorophenylpiperazine (4) to yield monatepil.[2][3]
