Abstract

Reactions of bisulfite addition compounds prepared in situ from cyclohexanone or 3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-thiopyran-3-one with potassium cyanide and corresponding amines resulted with high yields in amino nitriles type of V and VI. These compounds were subjected to reactions with 2-thienylmagnesium bromide and in the case of the amino nitriles Vc and Vf with 5-bromo-2-thienylmagnesium bromide. Only in the case of compound Vf, a by-product X was isolated in addition to the desired 1-[1-(5-bromo-2-thienyl)-1-cyclohexyl]piperidine (VIIf). Compound VIIf was used for the synthesis of the carboxylic acid XI. The compounds prepared were tested by some methods of biochemical and behavioural pharmacology.
