  • Patent number: 4233449
    Abstract: Compounds of the tropane (8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane) series having an aromatic substitutent in the 2-position and a carboalkoxy group in the 3-position are prepared by reacting a tropane-3-carboxylate having a double bond in the 2,3-position with an aryl Grignard reagent. Transformations of the substituent on nitrogen are subsequently effected. Compounds where the 3-carboalkoxy group is in the exo configuration possess hypoglycemic activity, and those where the 3-carboalkoxy group is in the endo configuration possess narcotic antagonist activity.

  • Patent number: 4227015
    Abstract: Aryl substituted diketones and keto-esters, useful as antiviral agents and insecticides, are prepared by reacting an arylalkyl or arylalkenyl iodide with a metal salt of the appropriate diketone or keto-ester. The intermediate iodides are prepared by condensing a methyl cyclopropyl ketone with an aromatic aldehyde to give an arylvinyl cyclopropyl ketone, reducing the latter to an arylethyl cyclopropyl carbinol or arylvinyl cyclopropyl carbinol, treating the carbinol with phosphorus tribromide and then with zinc bromide to give an arylalkyl or arylalkenyl bromide, and then replacing the bromine atom by iodine.
