Abstract
Five new (ω-dialkylaminoalkyl) phenylacetonitriles were prepared and these and other similar nitriles were condensed with 4-chlorocinnoline in the presence of sodium amide to produce seven new α-(ω-dialkylaminoalkyl)-α-phenyl-4-cinnolineacetonitriles. All of these condensed nitriles were hydrolyzed and decarboxylated to seven new 4-[(1-phenyl-ω-dialkylamino) alkyl] cinnolines. These latter two classess of compounds were prepared for pharmacological screening.
