AbstractDurch Kondensation des Trimethoxy‐conitroethylbenzols (I) mit den aromatischen Aldehyden (II) werden neue Vorstufen (III) von Mescalinanalogen hergestellt.
A convenient one-step procedure to synthesize the title compounds (3a-v) by the reaction between 1, 2, 3-trimethoxy-5-(2-nitroethyl)benzene (1) and aromatic or heterocyclic aldehydes is reported. The obtained 1-aryl-2-nitro-3-(3, 4, 5-trimethoxyphenyl)propenes can easily be reduced to provide new mescaline derivatives. As an example, 1-(3-indolyl)-2-amino-3-(3, 4, 5-trimethoxyphenyl)propane...
