:tiid piperidine groups. The hydrogenation of the pyridinols as their ether or acyl derivatives gave cleaner Ijroducts. although some hydrogenolysis of the ether and ester functions did occur. The catalytic reduction of the S-methylpyridinium derivatives, either as the phcriols or its their ethers or esters likewise did not give single products. 111large-scale runs hydrogenation of :'-dil,hei~yln?ethq.l-3-pSridinol with Raney nickel mas more successful. Only one conformational isomer of 2di~)heriylmethyl-3-~~iperidinol was isolated from all the procedureb, probably the cis form with an axial hydroxjrl siiicc its S-acetyl derivative rearranged to the ester in :wid solution.

Department of these laboratories. Dr. Samuel Irwin supervised this study and the procedure has been published.3 The results are given in Table IV. Briefly summarized, the 3-piperidinols I, where R is hydrogen or alkyl, I-is hydrogen, and R ' is phenyl, were potent stimulants. The ether and ester derivatives, excepting 24, were less active as were the diphenylcarbinols and most compounds with substituents in the phenyl ring. (3) S. Irwin, N. Slabok, P. DeBiasse, and W.Govier, Arch. I n t . P h a r m a codyn. Ther., 118, 358 (1959).

Compounds 5 and 14, the d isomers of 3 and 13, respectively, accounted for the activity of the latter since the 1 isomers were almost inactive. Compound 14 had minimal cardiac arid respiratory effects at stimulant doses and was tried ~linically.~It was a potent stimulant, but the dose-response effect mas too marked. At a given dose, due to the variation in the individual patient response, the level of stimulation attained frequently was above or below that desired. The lactone V had 0.01 times the activity of amphetamine. Subsequent studies5correlating the activity and configuration of the methylphenidate isomers have shown that the threo form (amino and ester groups adjacent) is responsible for the activity and that the erythro form is almost inactive. Molecular models indicate that in both the cis and trans forms of the lactone V, the amino and ester groups are more widely separated than they are in the threo form of methylphenidate, and this may account for its lack of activity. Compounds 49 and 48, the 3-methoxy analogs of pheniramine and chlorpheniramine, respectively, had 0.1 times the antihistaminic activity of the parent compound when tested in vitro on guinea pig ileum.

Experimental Section a-2-Furoyl-p-chlorophenylacetonitrile.-A solution of 75,s g of p-chlorophenylacetonitrile in 100 ml of CsHs was added dropwise to a stirred refluxing mixture of 70 g of ethyl furoate and 30 g of PiaOCHI in 300 ml of CsHe. During the reaction the benzene-alcohol azeotrope was removed through a helice-filled column topped by a total-reflux partial-takeoff condenser. After 4 hr the mixture was cooled and filtered, and the orange salt was washed (CGH,). I t was stirred with 20% AcOH and Et,O until it dissolved and the ether extract was washed neutral with NaHC03, dried (NanSOa), filtered, and dist>illed. The yield of yellow viscous oil, bp 183-186" (1 mm), was 106 g ( S 4 5 ) . Anal. (CiaHSClNO) N. p-Chlorobenzyl 2-Fury1 Ketone.-The above nitrile (94 g), in 500 ml of MeOH, was saturated with dry HC1 below 5' and kept at room temperature for 3 days. 4 crystalline imino ester salt separated. HZO (1 1.) was added, the mixture refluxed vigorously for 3 hr, and the MeOH distilled. The product solidified when cooled. Diphenylmethyl 2-Fury1 Ketones.-The diphenylmethane ( 1 mole) was added with stirring to KYH2 (1 mole) in 1200 nil of liquid NH, contained in an insulated (vermiculite) flask. Ten minutes after this addition, 0.5 mole of finely powdered ethyl furoate was added during 13 min and several hours later 500 (4) J. Nodine, T. Rode. J. Slap. H. Lery, a n d P. Siegler, Antzbiol.
