title: Synthesis and inotropic activity of hydroindene derivatives.
abstract: A synthetic approach to hydroindenic inotropic agents has been developed, starting from enantiopure Hajos-Parrish (1). Hajos-Wiechert (2), and related diketones. Their transformation into C-1 formyl derivatives and other subsequent synthetic targets is described. The results of the thermodynamic equilibration between both epimers of each formyl derivative are analysed. The inotropic activities of selected compounds on right and left atrial preparations are also evaluated and discussed.
