title: Expedient synthesis of mequitazine an antihistaminic drug by palladium catalyzed allylic alkylation of sodium phenothiazinate.
abstract: A short and straightforward synthesis of the antihistaminic drug mequitazine is reported, based on an efficient palladium catalyzed allylic alkylation of 1-aza-bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-en-3-ylmethyl acetate using sodium phenothiazinate in mild conditions.
