The amide formation between Phenothiazine-2-ethylcarbamate
7711-29-8(1) and 3-Chloropropionyl chloride
25-36-5(2) gives ethyl N-
0-(3-chloropropanoyl)phenothiazin-2-ylarbamate
19407-03-3 4749-22-9(3). Displacement of the remaining ω-halogen by
diethylamine (4) then completes the synthesis of ethacizine (5).
