Hydrazides are selectively oxidised to esters/acids in high yields using Oxone in the presence of an appropriate alcohol/water as a nucleophile at ambient temperature. A variety of functional groups including alkenes, alcohols, ethers, cyclopropyl groups and nitriles are unaffected.

Further modifications of the leads ((R)-(+)-hyoscyamine and (p- chlorophenyl)propionic acid α-tropanyl ester), which show analgesic and nootropic activities as a consequence of increased central presynaptic ACh release, are reported. 2-Phenoxy- and 2-(phenylthio)alkanoic acid esters showed the best results. Several members of these classes possess analgesic properties which are comparable to that of morphine and at the same time are able to reverse dicyclomine-induced amnesia. Confirmation was found that the mechanism of action is due to an increase in ACh release at central muscarinic synapses and that both auto- and heteroreceptors controlling ACh release are very likely involved. According to the results obtained with (R)- (+)-hyoscyamine, analgesic activity is stereochemistry dependent, since the R-(+)-enantiomers are always more efficacious than the corresponding S-(-)- ones. On the basis of their potency and acute toxicity, compounds (±)-28 (SM21) and (±)-42 (SM32) were selected for further study.
