INTRODUCTION The earliest studies on the physiological action of the phenothiazine derivative methylene blue, by Guttmann and Ehrlich#^ showed that this compound had a specific action in human malaria. Not until forty-three years later was it discovered, in connection with the investigation of the toxicity of organic sulfur compounds to mosquito larvae, that phenothiazine possessed insecticidal properties. Ad ditional research later revealed that phenothiazine itself is also useful as a larvicide, fiangicide, bactericide, parasiticide, urinary antiseptic, anthelmintic agent and an antioxidant. In contrast to its high toxicity to lower forms of life, phenothiazine possesses a low toxicity to man and other higher forms of animal life. These discoveries, as well as its low cost of production, make phenothiazine a very useful compound. Currently, considerable interest is shown in pheno thiazine derivatives because of the discovery by Halpem,^'^ 5*— P. Guttmann_and P, Ehrlich, Berlin, klin. Wochschr., 593 (1891), /Chem. i^entr., 65, I, 321 Ue§2)'y\ ^F, L, Campbell, W, N, Sullivan, L, E, Smith and H. L, Haller, £, Scon# Entomol., 27, 1176 (1934), N, Halpem and R, Ducrot, Compt, rend, soc, biol., 140, 361 (1946), N, Halpem, J, Allerpcy, 18, 963 (1947), that certain 10-(dialkylaiainoalkyl)phenothia2ines are very active antihistaminic agents possessing a low degree of toxicity toward the host, A niomber of these derivatives also exhibit antianaphylactic, local anesthetic# anticonvulsant and antinicotinic action, A more detailed discussion of these properties will be given in a later section of this dissertation* The purpose of this investigation has beenJ (1) to study further the metalation of phenothiazine derivatives with the view in mind to use this reaction aa a means to introduce various substituents into the benzene nuclei; (2) to modify the structure of certain dialky1aminoalky1 derivatives and thereby compare the effect of changing the molecular structure on the physiological properties; (3) to extend the application of sodamide as a condensing agent in the preparation of 10-aubstituted phenothiazines; (4) to prepare various 10-acyl derivatives; and (5) to develop satisfactory methods to oxidize the sulfide linkage of the various derivatives to the sulfoxide and the sulfone, re spectively. II. HISTORICAL A study of the chemistry of phenothlaain© and its de rivatives was initiated in 1803 by August Bemthsen® who suspected that the phenothiazine nucleus was present in methylene blue* In his series of experiments# he success fully determined the structure of both metl:^l©ne blue and phenothiazine; the latter is given below with the numbering system in current use by Chemical Abstracts.
