title: Synthesis of 2-aryl-4,4-spiro-morpholinium compounds of possible biologic interest.
abstract: The preparation of some 2-hydroxy-2-aryl-4,4-polymethylenemorpholinium bromides (II) by ring closure of the corresponding N-phenacyl-N-hydroxy-ethylpiperidinium (pyrrolidinium) bromide (III) and the synthesis of 2-ethoxy (IV) and of 2,3-dehydro derivatives (VI) are described. The synteshis of 2-phenyl-4,4-pentamethylene-morpholinium bromide (VII) from the hydrogenation of either the 2-phenyl or 2-p-bromophenyl-2,3-dehydromorpholinium derivativies (VI) is also reported. Proof of the chemical structures is provided by IR, UV, and NMR spectroscopy. The synthesized compounds did not present any significant pharmacologic activity.
