Notes:
The preferred solute conformation of ethyl 3α-phenyltropane-3β-carboxylate hydrochloride, the tropane analogue of pethidine, is shown to be a piperidine chair with an axial 3-phenyl substituent by analysis of its 1H NMR characteristics and spectral comparisons with model compounds. Conformational studies of synthetic intermediates are also reported and favoured boat forms identified for 3α-diphenylhydroxymethyl-3β-tropanol and 3α-phenyl-3β-tropanyl phenyl ketone. In the hot-plate test for analgesia performed on mice, ethyl 3α-phenyltropane-3β-carboxylate is about 1·5 times as effective as pethidine.
