Abstract 4-(2-Propylthio) acetophenone oxime (IV) was reacted with 2-aminoethyl chloride and 3-dimethylaminopropyl chloride to give the O-(aminoalkyl) oximes V and VI which are analogues of the antidepressant agent fluvoxamine (I). Kindler-Willgerodt reaction of 4-(2- propylthio) acetophenone (III) gave the thiomorpholide VII which was hydrolyzed to the acid IX. Friedel-Crafts reaction of (2-propylthio) benzene with ethoxalyl chloride afforded ethyl ...
