3,5-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde → HCID 3041205, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3,5-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde was reacted with 2,4,4-triethyl-2-oxazoline to produce 2-[2-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-methylethenyl]-4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazoline (P-1641), b.p. 171°-173° at 0.25 mm. It was administered to mice to determine the acute oral toxicity and a trained observer studied the animals for tranquilizing activity. The oral LD0 was determined to be over 5 g/kg and the animals receiving it were observed to be highly tranquilized. The compound is administered orally to animals in need of tranquilizing in a dosage of from about 100 to about 1000 mg/kg.
