Esters of methyl 3-hydroxy-5-piperidinomethylbenzoate and of methyl 3-hydroxy-5-diethylaniinomethylbenzoate were prepared and subjected to pharmacological testing. These compounds, resembling in structure a portion of the reserpine molecule, failed to show appreciable pharmacological activity. Esters of 3-piperidinomethylphenol, 3-diethylaminomethplphenol, 3-piperidinomethylbenzoic acid, and 3-diethylaminobenzoic acid were also prepared and were without pharmacological activity. All compounds were obtained as their hydrochlorides.
