Doxepin was synthesized by Stach and Spingler from the German drug manufacturer C. F. Boehringer & Söhne GmbH in Mannheim. It was tested from 1963 to 1968 in different German and Swiss psychiatric institutions and was approved in Germany and elsewhere thereafter. The antidepressive effects were found to be excellent. Strong anxiolytic and sedative properties were also demonstrated. Doxepin has been in clinical use for several decades. The drug plays an important role in many indications today, not only in psychiatry/neurology.
Doxepin (CAS NO.1668-19-5) is antidepressant used clinically to treat anxiety and depression.As doxepin hydrochloride, it is the active ingredient in cream-based preparations (Zonalon and Xepin) for the treatment of dermatological itch. Doxepin is currently investigated for the treatment of insomnia.
Triphenyl phosphine and 1,3-dibromo-propane generated 3-bromo-propyl bromide, triphenyl phosphine.To continue with the reaction of anhydrous dimethylamine obtained 3-dimethylamino-propyl bromide, benzene, hydrogen-3 phosphonium salt , and then with the 6,11 - dihydro-dibenzo [b, e] evil G -11 - ketones obtained doxepin. Intermediate 6,11 - dihydro-dibenzo [b, e] evil G -11 - one of the synthetic method can be found in Belg.pat, 641498.

Doxepin is a psychotropic agent with tricyclic antidepressant and anxiolytic properties, known under many brand-names such as Aponal, the original preparation by Boehringer-Mannheim, now part of the Roche group; Adapine, Deptran, Sinquan and Sinequan (Pfizer).
