hydrocinnamides were reduced to the corresponding amines (22,24, and 27) , marked adrenergic blocking activity was observed; 24 had also marked hypotensive activity. The propiophenone derivatives 30, 51, 55, 59, and 61 have marked hypotensive and adrenergic blocking activity. When the o-F of 30 mas shifted to the para position (31), the adrenergic blocking activity was diminished t o a great extent, whereas the hypotensive property was retained. Compound 31 has been selected for more extensive pharmacological evaluation; 20 and 22 are undergoing detailed cardiovascular studies.

Experimental Section Pharmacological Methods.-The studies of CNS activity were performed by administering intraperitoneally the suspension of the test compounds made with 0.57, carboxymethoxycellulose (CAIC). The vehicle itself was tested in a control group with negative results. For the studies of hypotensive and adrenergic blocking activity, healthy mongrel dogs (10-15 kg) were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (35 mg/kg iv). The blood pressure was recorded by a Hg manometer. The test compound was administered intravenously in different dosages. The effects of test compounds on blood pressure and epinephrineinduced pressor response were studied.

Anal. (CllH1,F3N,) N. The free base (5.0 g) was taken up in 15 ml of EtOH and added to 15 ml of i-Pr-HC1 (22%). This on dilution with E h O gave a white solid, which on recrystallization from EtOH afforded the monohydrochloride, mp 232-233' dec. Anal. (C11H13F3Nz.HCl) C, H, N. N1- [( 3,4,5-Trimethoxybenzoyl)acetyl]-N44o-toly1)piperazine (lo).-A mixture of 11.28 g (0.04 mole) of ethyl 2,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl acetate and 7.04 g (0.04 mole) of N-(o-toly1)piperazine was heated in an oil bath a t 120' for 2 hr and a t 150" for 3 hr. I t was then cooled and treated with HzO. The solid thus obtained was filtered and crystallized (EtOH). Other members of the series (I, A = COCH2CO) were obtained in a similar manner by taking the appropriate N-monosubstituted piperazines or other amines. The ir spectra of the representative compounds were as expected. N 1- [@-Hydroxy-@-( 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)propionyl]-N4.(otoly1)piperazine (ll).-To a solution of 2.06 g (0.005 mole) of 10 in 120 ml of EtOH (or MeOH), freshly prepared Raney Ni W-7 (2.0 g) was added and the mixture was shaken for 10 hr under H2 a t 0.42 kg/cm2. The mixture was then filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting semisolid mass on crystallization (hexane) gave the desired product. The other @-ketoamides were reduced in a similar manner. Their spectra of a representative compound were as expected. N1-(3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamoyl)-N4-( 2-pyridy1)piperazine (20). -To a solution of 5.0 g (0.021 mole) of 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid in 50 ml of o-xylene, was added a solution of 3.26 g (0.02 mole) of h'-(2-pyridyl)piperazine in 25 ml of o-xylene. The mixture was refluxed for 10 hr with azeotropic removal of H2O uqing a Dean-Stark water separator. The solvent was removed under diminished pressure (10 mm). The residue solidified when treated with EtzO (or hexane). This on recrystallization (EtOH-EhO) gave the desired compound. N1-(3,4,5-Trimethoxyhydrocinnamoyl)-N4-(o-chlorophenyl)piperazine (21) was obtained from 5.05 g (0.021 mole) of 3,4,5trimethoxyhydrocinnamic acid and 3.93 g (0.02 mole) of N-(ochloropheny1)piperazine by following a procedure similar to the one above. I t was crystallized twice (EtOH). Other compounds of both these series n-ere obtained as above. The absorption peaks of ir spectra of a representative hydrocinnamide were as expected. N1- [ y-(3,4,5-Trimethoxyphenyl)propyl]-N4-(o-chloropheny1)piperazine Hydrochloride (22).-To 250 ml of Na-dried E t 2 0 , 2.0 g of LAH was added and refluxed for 30 min. To this a solution of 1.5 g of 21 in 30 ml of T H F was added dropwise and refluxed for 24 hr. Excess of LAH and metallic complex were decomposed by the slow addition of 5 ml of HzO while stirring. The precipitates were filtered off and washed with EtZO. The filtrate was dried (NazS04) and the solvent was removed. The oily residue was taken up in 20 ml of AIezCO and added to 7 ml of 2-Pr-HCl ( 2 2 5 7 ) diluted with 200 ml of dry Et2O. The white solid was filtered and recrystallized (EtOH-Et20). The other amides (I, A = CHzCH2CO) were also reduced similarly to the corresponding amines and the resulting oily bases were converted to the appropriate salts. The ir spectra of a representative compound (as free base) were as expected.

The reaction mixture was refluxed for 5 hr. I t was then cooled, washed (HzO), and dried (KaASO4) and CHCL was removed in VQCUO. The rehidue solidified when treated with hexane. The solid was then recrystallized twice from boiling hexane. ~-(Morpholino)-3,4,5-trimethoxyacetophenone Hydrobromide (46).-To a solution of 8.67 g (0.03 mole) of ~-bromo-3,4,3trimethoxyacetophenone in 40 ml of 2-PrOH, was added dropwise a solution of 2.61 g (0.03 mole) of morpholine in 20 ml of i-PrOH.
