I n vieir of reported significant oral hypoglycemic activity among hexahydroindeno [ 1,2-c]pyrroles (I) and their hypothetical degradation products, indanamines, a large number of such coinpoundz were iynthesized and screened for oral hypoglycemic activity as reported Thii paper is concerned with the 5ynthesis of some dimet hoxy-5ubztituted indanamines along with the salient features of their biological activities. These conipounds may be considered to have originated by the fission along the dotted lines in the indeno [1,2-c]pyrrole structure and subsequent alkylation a t the generated basic center.
