Synthese eines neuen Thienospirans: 6,7-Dihydro-1′-methyl-spiro[benzo[b]thiophen-4(5H),2′-piperidin]

Synthesis of a New Thienospiran: 6,7-Dihylro-1′-methyl-spiro[benzo[j]thioxhen-4(5H),2′-piperidine] The title spiro compound 6 – a N-methyl derivative of a new parent system - has been synthesized from nitrile 8 via 4-phenoxybutylation, followed by modified Schmidt degradation, ensuing O-deprotection and final cyclization. The constitution of the target compound and of all intermediates is established by ¹H-n.m.r. and ¹³C-n.m.r.-spectroscopy and by microelementary analysis.
