Abstract

D-6-Alkyl-8-cyanomethylergolines-I were converted either by known procedures via the corresponding methyl esters I-III and hydrazides IV-VI to amides VII-IX, or by hydration of the nitrile group under the conditions of ionic pair extraction to amides VIII and X-XIII. In the same system D-6-methyl-8-ergolin-I-ylacetamide (DeprenonR) was prepared from D-6-methyl-8-cyanomethylergoline-I. Amides VII, VIII and XI had a considerably higher prolactin inhibiting activity than Deprenon.
