ORTHO-ALKYLATION OF o-, m-, AND p-CRESOLS WITH CYCLOHEXENE IN THE PRESENCE OF ALUMINUM CRESOLATES

The reaction of o-, m-, and p-cresols with cyclohexene in the presence of the corresponding aluminum cresolates leads to mixtures of ethers and phenols, in which the ortho-alkylation products, formed with yields of 75-85percent, predominate.

Basic ethers of cyclohexylphenols with β blocking activity. Synthesis and pharmacological study of exaprolol

The paper discribes the preparation and study of the pharmacological properties of the basic ethers of cyclohexylphenols. The compounds with a single cycloaliphatic radical ortho to the basic chain, and in particular the one with a cyclohexyl (exaprolol), were found to be particularly active in blocking the β adrenergic receptors, as antiarrhythmics and local anesthetics, while the introduction of a second radical or the shift of the cycloaliphatic radical to meta or para position caused the said pharmacological activities to disappear almost entirely, with the exception of the local anesthetic action.
