Reaction Steps

2-Methylbenzylamine (6.0 cc) is added to a solution of 10-[(2RS)-1-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-2-propyl]-2-phenothiazinecarbothioamide (3.70 g) in absolute ethanol (50 cc). The mixture is saturated with hydrogen sulphide and brought to 110° C. for 20 hours. After cooling to 20° C., the mixture is concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure (30 mm Hg, 4 kPa) at 40° C. and the residue is purified by chromatography on a column (height: 22 cm; diameter: 4.2 cm) of silica gel (0.04-0.06 mm) with a slight excess pressure of nitrogen (40 kPa), eluting with pure ethyl acetate (400 cc) and then with a 90:10 (by volume) mixture (400 cc) of ethyl acetate and methanol and collecting 80-cc fractions. Fractions 3 to 5 are combined and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure (30 mm Hg; 4 kPa) to give N-(2-methylbenzyl)-10- [(2RS)-1-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-2-propyl]-2-phenothiazinecarbothioamide (2.6 g) in the form of a yellow product of meringue-like consistency.
