A practical synthesis of the anti‐depressant, 1,3,4,14b‐tetrahydro‐2‐methyl‐10 H ‐pyrazino[1,2‐ a ]pyrrolo‐[2,1‐ c ][1,4]benzodiazepine (1:1) maleate (Aptazapine 10 ) is reported in seven steps and approximately 20% overall yield. The key step of the synthesis was the formation of the tricyclic intermediate methyl 10,11‐dihydro‐5 H ‐pyrrolo[2,1‐ c ][1,4]benzodiazepine‐11‐carboxylate (7) via a “Pictet‐Spengler” type condensation of o ‐aminobenzylpyrrole ( 6 ) and methyl glyoxylate or the methoxy hemiacetal thereof.
