Regioselectivity in Mannich reaction of 4-, 3-, and 2-substituted phenols with typical heterocyclic amines are investigated under reaction conditions developed by Lis. Phenol and 4-alkyl, and 4-chlorophenols in the title reaction predominantly gave the corresponding 2-(aminometllyl)phenols, while 4-methoxyphenol afforded, in addition to the mono(aminomethyl) phenols, a considerable amount of the bis adducts. Peculiarly enough, 3-methylphenol with amines afforded 3-methyl-4-(aminomethyl) phenols whereas 2-methylphenol produced 2-methyl-6-(aminomethyl)phenols.

Four new antihypertensive thiomorpholinylmethylphenol compounds were synthesized by its potential antihypertensive and antiarhythmic properties. The pK(a) values were determined experimentally, with die aid of program SQUAD, by Capillary Zone Electrophoresis (CZE) (T = 310.15 K and / = 0.05 mol.dm(-3)) and by UV spectrophotometry at pseudophysiological conditions (T = 310.15 K and / = 0.15 mol.dm(-3)). obtaining good agreement between the values determined with both techniques. A theoretical study was followed to propose a deprotonation mechanism for each compound. The log P values were also determined between n-octanol and water and compared with the values of other similar compounds to relate it with its possible biological activity.

We have developed a Brønsted acidcatalysed highly ortho-selective functionalization of free phenols with readily available N,O-acetals under mild conditions, furnishing various corresponding aminomethylated phenol products in moderate to excellent yields. The salient features of this transformation include mild conditions, good substrate scope, excellent ortho-selectivity, high efficiency, and ease
