Abstract

Quetiapine is a novel antipsychotic drug, showing higher activity and fewer side effects than the classical antypsychotic agents. 11-(1-Piperazinyl)dibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepine is the crucial intermediate in the synthesis of quetiapine:

Our invention1 relates to the process of the preparation of this intermediate. In comparison with the classical industrial method2 ours offers several advantages, i.e.:

- reduction of operations number and time; - higher total yield (75% vs. 60%); - lower consumption of solvents; - reduction of waste material quantity;

All these advantages result in considerable reduction of manufacturing costs.
