The results of a pharmacological investigation on a series of meta-substituted benzyltrimethylammonium salts possessing an antimuscarinic activity are reported. Correlative analysis shows that the pharmacodynamic activity is a function of the hydrophobic-lipophilic parameter associated with the substituent.

The bromination/dehydrobromination reactions of ethyl 3-[1-alkoxycarbonyl-2-(methylthio)indolizin-3-yl]acrylates were reinvestigated. Reactions of the title compounds with two equivalents of bromine, followed by heating of the resulting reaction mixture and then treatment with a base gave the unexpected dialkyl 7-bromothieno[2,3-b]indolizine-2,9-dicarboxylates, while similar reactions
