Analgesic action of ethyl 4-phenylpiperidine-4-carboxylates with oxygenated 1-substituents
Abstract:
The analgesic potency of a series of new compounds related to pethidine has been measured in rats. The replacement of the methyl group on the nitrogen atom of pethidine by groups containing ether linkages produces an increase in potency. Two different positions for the oxygen atom are particularly beneficial, but the effects, in these two positions, appear to be exerted in different ways and are not additive. Simple toxicity tests in mice and rats and tests on respiration in rats of five of the more potent compounds revealed no unexpected adverse action.

Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.

Structure and Nomenclature of Ethers
Ethers are organic compounds with an ether functional group which is characterized by an oxygen atom connected to two — identical or different — alkyl, aryl, or vinyl groups. The C–O–C linkage in dimethyl ether — the simplest ether — has an approximately tetrahedral bond angle of 110.3 degrees. The oxygen atom is sp3- hybridized, with the C–O distance being about 140 pm.
Classification of Ethers
Based on their attached substituent groups, ethers can be classified into two...
