Abstract

This paper describes two different synthetic pathways for praziquantel, a new broad spectrum schistosomicide and cestocide. Easy to apply on an industrial scale, they involve a selective reduction of 4-acyl-1-phenethylpiperazine-2,6-dione in 4-acyl-6-hydroxy-1-phenethylpiperazin-2 one, the cyclisation of which in acidic medium gives tricyclic compounds 2-acyl-1,2,3,6,7,11b-hexahydro-4H-pyrazin [2,1-a]isoquinolin-4-one.
