A series of S,K-substituted 1-arylcycloheuylamines was prepared mainly by the reaction of an arylmagnesiuni hromide and 1-dialkylaminocyclohexanecarbonitrile. As the cyclopentyl analog could not be obtained by this way, condensation of 1-phenylcyclopentylamine with pentamethylene dibromide in D I I F was tried with success. These compounds were tested for their psychopharmacological properties. 1-[l-( 2-Thienyl)cyclohesyl]piperidine (16) was found to be the most active.The pharmacological properties of 1-( l-phenylcyclohexj 1)piperidine (7)3 (phenyl~yclidine~-~), for which a t the time of this investigatioii only one synthesis has beeii stimulated the exploration of possible preparative routes applicable also to other members of the series.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
