The effect of molecular variation by changing the 6-acyl moiety into a 5-acyl moiety, cf. (VIII) and (XI), on the analgesic-antiinflammatory activities is investigated. The C-acylation of benzoxazolinone (III) is carried out taking advantage of the AlCl3/DMF complex used as Friedel-Crafts catalyst. The acylation proceeds with satisfactory rate and yield, only when a substrate/catalyst ratio of 11:7 is used. A classical Mannich procedure completes the reaction sequence. In vivo studies reveal that the analgesic and antiinflammatory activities of (VIIIa) and (VIIIb) are comparable to those of Aspirin and Indometacin. In spite of its potent activity, (VIIIc) is ulcerogenic. Less remarkable results are obtained with compounds (XI) bearing the acyl group at 5-position of the main ring. -(KOEKSAL, M.; GOEKHAN*, N.; KUEPELI, E.; YESILADA, E.; ERDOGAN, H.; Arch. Pharm.
