1-Piperazinecarboxylic acid, ethyl ester → 1-(9-Fluoro-3-propan-2-yl-5,6-dihydrobenzo[b][1]benzothiepin-5-yl)piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 20 g of 10-chloro-3-fluoro-8-isopropyl-10,11-dihydrodibenzo(b,f)thiepin, 21 g of 1-(ethoxycarbonyl)piperazine and 30 ml of chloroform is refluxed for 5 hours. After cooling, it is diluted with chloroform, the solution thoroughly washed with water, dried with potassium carbonate and after filtration evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue (27 g, 96%) is a crude glassy 10-(ethoxycarbonylpiperazino)-3-fluoro-8-isopropyl-10,11-dihydrodibenzo(b,f)thiepin which is used for hydrolysis in this state without further purification.
