Abstract

2-Dimethylaminoethyl esters of 2,2-dimethylpropanoic, heptanoic, octanoic, decanoic, hexadecanoic, cyclopentylacetic, cycloheptylacetic, 2-cyclopentylhexanoic, (4-chlorophenoxy)fumaric, and 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)succinic acid were prepared by reactions of the acid chlorides with 2-dimethylaminoethanol and were transformed to crystalline salts for pharmacological testing. The ester IX (hydrogen fumarate V⁄FB-14 005) was found to antagonize significantly halothan amnesia in rats and the ester X (hydrogen fumarate V⁄FB-14004) proved to be an anticholinergic spasmolytic agent.
