Abstract

The synthesis of five classes [type A, cycloalkylethanolamines; type B, n-alkylethanolamines; type C, 2-(aminomethyl)-2-n-alkanols; type D, 1-(aminomethy1) cycloalkanols; type E, sec- akylethanolamiies] of nonaromatic analogues of P-phenylethanolamine and an evaluation of their inhibitory potency (ICw) for phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT) are described. The key intermediates for the synthesis of the ethanolamines were the ...
