cis ‐3‐(3,4‐Dihydroxyprienyl)4‐methyl‐1‐( n ‐propyl)pyrrolidine ( 23 ) was synthesized and evaluated for dopaminergic activity. The synthesis of 23 involved selective 4‐acylation of the 3‐phenylpyrrolidine‐2,5‐dione 15 and cis ‐addition of hydrogen to a 4‐methyl‐3‐phenyl‐3‐pyrroline 4 . Pharmacological evaluation of 23 showed that introduction of a cis ‐4‐methyl group into the 3‐phenylpyrrolidine nucleus decreases dopaminergic activity.
