Dimefadane is an analgesic agent with about the same activity as codeine, but without any of the GI side effects.[citation needed] Although it does not adhere to the classical morphine rule[clarification needed], it is not known if this is opioidergic.[citation needed] It has SAR[clarification needed] that can be compared to tametraline. Klaus Bøgesø used dimefadane as the harbinger to Indatraline.[citation needed]

Dimefadane synthesis

The Friedel-Crafts reaction between cinnamic acid [140-10-3] (1) and benzene in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst gives 3,3-diphenylpropionic acid [606-83-7] (2). The cyclization of this gives 3-phenyl-1-indanone [16618-72-7] (3). Heating with ammonium formate (Leuckart reaction) gives 3-phenyl-1-indanamine, PC22346445 (4). Although reduction of the oxime would also work, perhaps there is differences in the proficiency between the different methods. Heating with formaldehyde and formic acid (Eschweiler-Clark reaction) then produces dimefadane (5).
