Synthesis of N-Containing Derivatives of the Furanocoumarin Peucenidin. Sedative Activity of the 9-(Dimethylaminomethyl) Derivative of 8,9-Dihydrofuranocoumarin
摘要
The reaction of the angular dihydrofuranocoumarin peucenidin and secondary amines with brief heating in MeCN in the presence of N-dimethylaminopyridine gave the corresponding 9β-amino-substituted 8β-(2-senecioyloxypropan-2-yl)dihydrofuranocoumarins. The reaction of peucenidin (1) and the methyliminium salt generated in situ from bis(dimethylamino)methane synthesized the corresponding 9-dimethylaminomethyl derivative of dihydrofuranocoumarin, for which sedative activity was found using thiopental-induced sleep and open-field tests.
