Synthesis Of N-Substituted Diamino-Propanols And Their Physiological Effects, Kathren Mortenson, F. C. Pennington

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The p-toluiclinc-epichlorohydrin 1:1 addition compound has been reacted with pipericline, pyrrolicline, and morpholine to give disubstitutecl 2-propanols. 1-(p-Toluiclino)-3-pyrrolidino-2-propanol was fed to male rats and organ and body weights measured. The data do not permit us to evaluate adequately the physiological effects of the compound, but differences were observed in the size of the heart, kidneys, and thymus of the test animals.
