title: Synthesis and antiinflammatory activity of some 1,6-methano[10]annuleneacetic acids.
abstract: Some new approaches to the 1,6-methano[10]annulene system are described. The routes were used to prepare 1,6-methano[10]annulene-3-acetic acid and the alpha-methyl analog. The compounds showed antinflammatory and analgesic activity, though less than that of corresponding naphthalene compounds; the possible effect of the chirality of the annulene on the observed biological activity is discussed.
