Introduction: The isolation of epinephrine from the medulla of the suprarenal gland and the discovery of its amazing therapeutic effects have stimulated intensive research on the synthesis of compounds possessing the basic skeleton of 2-aminoethyl-benzene. The investigation in the past forty years have culminated in the preparation of a large number of this type of amine which are pharmacologically classified as "sympatho-mimetic" or "pressor" agents because they generally act on the sympathetic nervous system and cause in increase of blood pressure. However, the 2-aminoethylbenzene derivatives most thoroughly studied have been those whose molecules possessed only one aminoethyl side chain per …
