Demexiptiline (brand names Deparon, Tinoran) is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) used in France for the treatment of depression.[2][3] It acts primarily as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor similarly to desipramine.[4]

Synthesis

[edit]

The ketone dibenzosuberenone (1) is treated with hydroxylamine (2) to give its ketoxime (3). Base-catalyzed alkylation with ClCH2CH2NHCH3 (4) yields demexiptiline.[5][6]
