Abstract

(±)-Trans-Ph/Et and (±)-cis-Ph/Et 1-(2-ethyl-1-phenylcyclohexyl) piperidine were synthesized from 2-ethylcyclohexanone. In contrast to the corresponding trans-substituted 2- methyl compound which is 5x more potent than PCP, the trans-2-ethyl derivative has a 75x lower affinity for the PCP binding site. The cis-2-ethyl isomer is inactive like the cis-2-methyl derivative.(±)-1-(1-Phenylcyclohexyl)-2-methylpiperidine is almost as active as the parent ...
