Synthesis of thieno[2,3‐b][1,5]benzoxazepine derivatives

A new series of 4‐(4‐methylpiperazin‐1‐yl)thieno[2,3‐b][1,5]benzoxazepines 1a‐k has been synthesized from 4‐bromo‐2‐methylthiophene 6 or ethyl 2‐amino‐4,5‐dimethyl‐3‐thiophencarboxylate 10 . Preparation of the key intermediate thieno[2,3‐b][1,5]benzoxazepine‐4(5H)‐ones 4a‐i, 4k were carried out by treatment of 2‐bromo‐N‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐3‐thiophencarboxamides 5a‐i, 5k with potassium carbonate in DMSO.
