Abstract
Reactions of 4,4'-dihalogenated benzhydrols and 1,1-diphenylethanols Xab and XIab with sodium hydride and 2-dimethylaminoethyl chloride and 2-pyrrolidinoethyl chloride afforded the ethers Vab-VIIIab. 2-Bromoethyl ethers IXab, obtained from the benzhydrols Xab and 2-bromoethanol by treatment with sulfuric acid, were subjected to substitution reactions with 4-phenylpiperidin-4-ol, 4-(2-tolyl)piperidin-4-ol (XVI), 4-(4-fluorophenyl)piperidin-4-ol and 4-(2-oxobenzimidazolin-1-yl)piperidine (XVII) and gave the amino ethers XIIab-XIVab and XIXab. The products were evaluated as potential antiparkinsonic agents and compared with flunamine (III). The ethers Va, Vb and VIa disclosed anticataleptic activity of a similar degree like that of flunamine (III).
