Abstract
A synthetic precursor to a potent dopaminergic agonist, (RS)-4-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)indan, has been resolved by classical recrystallization procedures, and the absolute configurations of the enantiomers have been established by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The enantiomers were converted by literature procedures into (R)- and (S)-1. (R)-1 was approximately 100 times as potent as (S)-1 in an assay for dopamine agonist effect in the isolated cat atrium.
