Abstract

Investigation of central nervous system activity of phenylcyclohexylamines was continued by preparation of" reversed" analogues. Following the unexpected finding of analgesic activity with 1-(dimethylamino)-1-phenylcyclohexylamine, the SAR of the series was investigated. Synthesis starts by double Michael reaction of acrylate on arylacetonitriles. Following cyclization, decarboxylation, ketalization, and saponification, the geminally substituted ...
