Comment: The only peer reviewed publication that this compound appears in is compound #21 in PMID 4543291 and it is not even the most potent compound disclosed in that publication. Furthermore SIR-117 does not appear to be a neuroleptic tranquilizer, but rather a tricyclic antidepressant. This is not a notable drug. The synthesis of a non-notable drug is even less notable.

SIR 117 is an example of a neuroleptic tranquiliser. The spirocyclic structure is a technological advancement over TCAs such as clomipramine. Chlorination into a molecule is a commonly regarded and well-known method to cause a potentiation in activity. For related compounds see Pramiverine and Chloripramine.
Synthesis
[edit]Synthesis:[1] Patent:[2] Starting Precursor:[3]

Ex 6: The Grignard reaction between 3-chlorodibenzosuberone, PC12264964 (1) and methylal (dimethoxymethane) [109-87-5] then chloromethylether was added. The product of this step is claimed to be called 3-chloro-5-hydroxy-5- methoxymethyldibenzosuberane (2). Boiling with formic acid followed by the addition of 1M sulfuric acid led to 3-chloro-5-formyl-dibenzosuberane (3). Intermolecular ring formation occurred upon treatment with methyl vinyl ketone (MVP), and hexamethylphosphoramide to give 3- chlorodibenzosuberaneSpiro[5.5]cyclohex-6-ene-2-one, PC12524381 (4). Catalytic hydrogenation of the olefin led to 3- chlorodibenzosuberaneSpiro[5.5]cyclohex-2-one (5). Ex 17: A modification of the Leuckart reaction using dimethyl ammonium formate completed the synthesis SIR 117 (6).
