Abstract

Abstract The important biological activity of a variety of aromatic and heterocyclic systems having β-dimethylaminoethyl side chains and their α-hydroxy analogs (cf bufotenin, N- methylepinephrine, etc.) has focused the attention of the organic chemist on methods of introducing these functions, and a variety of approaches have been developed. A convenient synthesis has recently been reported3, which utilizes the α-hydroxy-β- ...
