1-Aryl-2-(aminomethyl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid derivatives. A new series of potential antidepressants.

A series of 1-aryl-2-(aminomethyl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as potential antidepressants. Compounds with the Z configuration were synthesized from 1-aryl-2-oxo-3-oxabicyclo[3.1.

Studies of arylthiazole oxamates in relation to oral antiallergic activity.

25 arylthiazole oxamate derivatives were synthesized and examined for antiallergic activity in the rat passive cutaneous anaphylaxis assay. These compounds were prepared by treatment of the appropriate bromoacetophenone with thioureas to give arylaminothiazoles. Further condensation with alkyloxalyl chloride gave the arylthiazolyl oxamates.

Secondary products of itanoxone.

Itanoxone synthesis by Friedel-Crafts reaction between itaconic anhydride and 2-chlorobiphenyl was studied. Five isomers corresponding to possible impurities were prepared and studied to perfect a reliable and practical method to detect these impurities in itanoxone.
