SYNTHESIS OF "DANSHENSU" DERIVATIVES

This paper describes the synthesis of α-nicotinyloxy -β- (substituted phenyl ) propionic acid and α-(o-acetoxy ) benzoyloxy -β-phenyl propionic acid. They were obtained in six steps starting from benzaldehyde or substituted benzaldehyde. The preliminary pharmacological tests show that all compounds were effective for inhibition of rabbit platelet aggregation.
