title: Synthesis and pharmacological activity of 6-aryl-2-azabicyclo[4.2.1]nonanes.
abstract: A series of 6-phenyl-, 6-(m-methoxyphenyl)-, and 6-(m-hydroxyphenyl)-2-azabicyclo[4.2.1]nonanes was synthesized by a sequence involving alkylation of an appropriate 2-arylcyclopentanone with an aminoalkyl substituent. Subsequent ring closure at the other alpha position on the cyclopentanone ring and Wolff-Kishner reduction afforded the title compound. Several derivatives of these materials showed activity in an antinociceptive assay comparable to codeine. Most analogues were either inactive or toxic.
