Synthesis and Anticonvulsant Activity of Amino Amides and Amino Esters Based on 1-(2,3-Dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-6-yl)-cyclopentane-1-carboxylic Acid

Alkaline hydrolysis of 1-(2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-6-yl)cyclopentane-1-carbonitrile gave the corresponding carboxylic acid which was converted to carbonyl chloride, and the latter reacted with N, N-di-alkylalkane-α,ω-diamines and dialkylaminoalkanols to afford new amino amides and amino esters which were isolated as hydrochlorides. Anticonvulsant activity of the synthesized compounds was studied.
