Abstract

The title compounds were synthesized as models for examining stereochemical requirements of the mescaline receptor. By analogy with indolic psychotomimetic drugs, the pseudo-indolic structure of the cis compound should endow it with greater psychotomimetic activity than the trans isomer might possess. A special synthetic sequence was obligatory for the preparation of the cis isomer because the usual intermediates were either unreactive ...
