Abstract
A RECENT publication1 prompts us to report the preparation of a number of novel synthetic antispasmodics related to papaverine. The numerous synthetic analogues of papaverine (I) which have been prepared (see, for example, Blicke2) can be divided into two main groups : (1) those with an intact isoquinoline ring system (for example, eupaverine3) and (2) those in which the isoquinoline ring has been opened at the line a—a to give a bis-(2-phenylethyl)amine (for example, sestron4).
