Diphenylprolinol
Diphenylprolinol, or --diphenyl-2-pyrrolidinyl-methanol, is a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor which is used as a designer drug.Pharmacology
The dextrorotary --enantiomer is the most pharmacologically active, although a variety of related derivatives have been studied.
Side effects including chest pain have been seen following recreational use of diphenylprolinol, although it was combined with glaucine in a party pill product, thus making it impossible to say for certain which drug was responsible.Other uses
Diphenylprolinol can be used to prepare the chiral CBS catalyst, which is used for enantioselective organic synthesis.
