Synthesis of 3-phenyl-3-phenylthiopropionic acids, amides, amines and studies on their pharmacological properties

Farmaco Sci. 1985 Sep;40(9):701-8.

Abstract

The addition of mercaptobenzene to cinnamic acids yielded 3-phenyl-3-phenylthiopropionic acids which were then converted to the amides. The latter compounds were reduced to the amines with lithium aluminum hydride. Some of the obtained amides displayed significant biological activity.
