Dixyrazine, also known as dixypazin (oxalate), sold under the brand names Ansiolene, Esocalm, Esucos, Metronal, and Roscal, is a typical antipsychotic of the phenothiazine group described as a neuroleptic and antihistamine. It was first introduced in Germany in 1969. It is used as a neuroleptic, anxiolytic, and antihistamine in doses between 12.5 and 75 mg a day.

Synthesis

::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c6/Dixyrazine_synthesis.svg" caption="Synthesis of dixyrazine"] ::

Sodamide alkylation of phenothiazine (1) with 1-bromo-3-chloro-2-methylpropane (2) gives 10-(3-Chloro-2-methylpropyl)phenothiazine (3). Completion of the sidechain by alkylation with 1-[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl]piperazine (4) and displacement of the halogen completes the synthesis of dixyrazine (5).
