A new enantiomeric synthesis utilizing classical resolution provided two novel series of optically active inhibitors of cholinesterase:(-)-and (+)-O-carbamoyl phenols of tetrahydrofurobenzofuran and methanobenzodioxepine. An additional two series of (-)-and (+)-O-carbamoyl phenols of pyrroloindole and furoindole were obtained by known procedures, and their anticholinesterase actions were similarly quantified against freshly ...
