title: Antiarrhythmic agents. 2-, 3-, And 4-substituted benzylamines.
abstract: The synthesis of a series of 2-, 3-, and 4-substituted benzylamine derivatives is described. These compounds were studied for their effect on experimental cardiac arrhythmias. Many of the derivatives, but in particular 2-(p-methoxyphenylethynyl)benzylamine (3d), alpha,alpha-dimethyl-4y(phenylethynyl)benzylamine (7a), and alpha,alpha-dimethyl-4-phenethylbenzylamine (12g), showed good antiarrhythmic activity.
