title: 5-(Aminomethyl)-3-aryldihydrofuran-2(3H)-ones, a new class of monoamine oxidase-B inactivators.
abstract: Both cis- and trans-5-(aminomethyl)-3-aryldihydrofuran-2(3H)-one hydrochloride salts (9 and 10) were synthesized efficiently in a 5-step sequence from arylacetic acids. Both compounds were found to be irreversible inactivators of monoamine oxidase B. These compounds constitute the first members of a new class of monoamine oxidase inactivators.
