A new synthetic ultrasound-assisted method for dibenzoepines

In this study, we have developed a new ultrasonic synthesis method of dibenzoepines using olanzapine and quetiapine, which are well-known drugs for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The method is based on the N-alkylation reaction of the piperazine fragment in tricyclic compounds...

description In this study, we have developed a new ultrasonic synthesis method of dibenzoepines using olanzapine and quetiapine, which are well-known drugs for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The method is based on the N-alkylation reaction of the piperazine fragment in tricyclic compounds with methyl iodide or 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol as the alkylating agent, respectively. The synthesis reactions were carried out in an ultrasonic bath with solvents such as acetonitrile or dimethylformamide in the presence of potassium or sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide and metal-free, ecological phase transfer catalyst at a temperature of 40–50 °C. This allowed us to obtain olanzapine in 1 h (Y = 67%), and quetiapine in 3 h (Y = 72%). An ultrasonic reactor (Qsonica Q700) was used in the synthesis of olanzapine and made it possible to shorten the reaction time to 10 min and obtain 90% yield with very high purity. The developed method allows obtaining compounds in mild conditions and in a short time, thanks to which the process is more ecological than others described in the literature.
