Intriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) that was never marketed.[1]

Synthesis

Inclusion of an acetylenic linkage as part of the side chain is apparently consistent with antidepressant activity.

Intriptyline synthesis:[2]

Rxn of propargyl magnesium bromide with dibenzocycloheptadienone (1) leads to carbinol (2). A Mannich reaction with formaldehyde and dimethylamine leads to 3 which, upon dehydration with SOCl2 and pyridine, was transformed into intriptyline (4), an antidepressant.
