Abstract: The synthesis of a series of 7-aroyl-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan-3-carboxylic acids and 7-benzoyl-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]thiophene-3-carboxylic acids is described. The isomeric 4-benzoyl-1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]furan-1-carboxylic acid was also prepared. Compounds were evaluated for analgesic activity in the mouse phenyl-p-quinone-induced writhing test. Selected compounds were tested for their ability to produce gastric damage in fasted mice and for inhibition of prostaglandin synthetase activity in vitro. Zomepirac was used as a reference. Structure-activity relationships are discussed. One of the compounds, 7-benzoyl-5-chloro-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan-3-carboxylic acid (2c), combined potent analgesic activity with low gastric irritancy.
