ABSTRACT

A new series of benzocycloheptene amino vinyl bromide derivatives (9a-9m) were synthesized from isomeric mixture of himachalenes through two-step synthesis. The unusual structure of benzocycloheptene amino vinyl bromide derivative (9a) was confirmed by NMR and X-ray crystallography analyses. The newly synthesized amino vinyl bromide derivatives of benzocycloheptene were further evaluated for their antidepressant activities. The compound 9c had shown significant reduction in the immobility period.
