■ The Friedel-Crafts Acylation of Ethyl Indole-2-carboxylate. An Unusual Substitution on the Benzene Moiety
Yasuoki Murakami,* Masanobu Tani, Kenjiro Tanaka, and Yuusaku Yokoyama
*School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Toho University, 2-2-1, Miyama, Funabashi, Chiba 274-8510, Japan
Abstract
Ethyl indole-2-carboxylate can be acylated with a variety of acyl chlorides under Friedel-Crafts conditions to give mono-acyl indole derivatives. However, the acyl chloride derived from a stronger acid tends to substitute at the C-5 position rather than at the C-3, a usual nucleophilic center of indoles.

■ Benzo- and Indoloquinolizidine Derivatives XIX. The Synthesis and Pharmacologocal Activity of Some Quinolizidine Derivatives, Analogues of Butaclamol
G. Laus, D. Tourwé, and G. Van Binst*
*Laboratoium voor organische Chemie, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Pleinlaan 2, B-1050 Brussel, Belgium
Abstract
Indenopyridoisoquinoline and benzopyridophenanthridine derivatives were synthesized as the conformationally rigid analogues of butaclamol. For both series, a unique reaction scheme has been worked out in order to obtain the desired trans-cisoid-cis conformation of the end products. In this conformation, the indenopyridoisoquinoline derivative simulates the proposed active form of butaclamol, whilst the benzopyridophenanthridine derivatives simulate the non-active form of butaclamol. The products were tested for neuroleptic activity in “in vitro” models. No significant binding was detected. In view of the pharmacological assays, we cannot decide about the correctness of the proposed structure-activity relationship in the butaclamol series. Overall topological congruence of the phenethylamine part and some flexibility of the system may be important factors for activity.

*Department of Chemistry abd Biochemistry, Utah State University, Logan, Utah 84332-0300, U.S.A.
Abstract
In the presence of a catalytic amount of cuprous iodide, the addition of Grignard reagents to the 1-phenoxycarbonyl salts of 3-halopyridines gives 4-alkyl-3-halo-1-phenoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydropyridines. The crude dihydropyridines were aromatized with o-chloranil to give 4-alkyl-3-halopyridines. Several 4-alkylnicotinaldehydes were synthesized in a similar manner from the cyclic acetal (1,3-dioxolane) of 3-pyridinecarboxaldehyde. After aromatization with sulfur, the crude acetals were hydrolyzed with oxalic acid to give the desired pyridinecarboxaldehydes.
