Abstract

A series of 2-chloro-3-(4-alkoxyphenyl)propionic acids containing a quarternary carbon atom in the alkoxy moiety was prepared and the hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic activities were evaluated. Of the 18 compounds synthesized, ethyl 2-chloro-3-[4-(2-methyl-2-phenylpropyloxy)phenyl]propionate (1) was the best with respect to biological activity and toxicity. Its functional derivatives and optically resolved enantiomers were also prepared. Structure-activity relationships are discussed briefly.
