โฆ Synopsis
A multistep synthetic route to (~)-10-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidinyl)ethyl]-2-methylthio-lOH-phenothiazine (thioridazine) was developed which allowed for the incorporation of two deuterium atoms in the piperidine ring and a further two in the 1-position of the ethyl side chain. The key steps involved ruthenium tetroxide oxidation of N-protected methyl 2-piperidinylacetate and subsequent lifhium aluminum deuteride reduction of 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-l-methyl-6-piperidinone or the corresponding piperidinoneester. The isotopic plrity of the dideuterated and tetradeuterated products was greater than 99%.
