Synthesis and some biological properties of new derivatives of 1-S-phenylthioglycolonitrile.

A series of new S-phenylthioglycolic acid derivatives was synthetized via common transformations of alkylated S-phenyl-thioglycolonitrile. The compounds were submitted to pharmacological screening. N,N-Diethylaminoethyl ester of 1-S-phenylcyclopentane carboxylic acid was submitted to detailed studies and showed high local anesthetic properties.
