9 N-alkylated derivatives of dextromethorphan are synthesized and studied as non-competitive inhibitors of α3β4 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). In vitro activity towards α3β4 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is determined using a patch-clamp technique and is in the micromolar range. Homology modeling, molecular docking and molecular dynamics of ligand-receptor complexes in POPC membrane are used to find the mode of interactions of N-alkylated dextromethorphan derivatives with α3β4 nAChR. The compounds, similarly as dextromethorphan, interact with the middle portion of α3β4 nAChR ion channel. Finally, behavioral tests confirmed potential application of the studied compounds for the treatment of addiction.
A process for preparing dextromethorphan method
-
Paragraph 0177; 0186; 0187; 0194, (2018/02/04)
The invention relates to a novel method for preparing dextromethorphan. When the method is used for preparing an intermediate (+)-1-(4-methoxy) benzyl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydroisoquinoline (VI), a catalytic reducing method is adopted to carry out chiral reduction on 1-(4-methoxy) benzyl-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydroisoquinoline (VI), so that the intermediate is prepared with high selectivity. The novel method disclosed by the invention can cancel complex operations such as chiral resolution, is simple to operate, gentle in reaction condition, short in total time, wide in material source, and very suitable for industrially producing dextromethorphan.

Contra-thermodynamic Hydrogen Atom Abstraction in the Selective C-H Functionalization of Trialkylamine N-CH3 Groups
Barham, Joshua P.,John, Matthew P.,Murphy, John A.

We report a simple one-pot protocol that affords functionalization of N-CH3 groups in N-methyl-N,N-dialkylamines with high selectivity over N-CH2R or N-CHR2 groups. The radical cation DABCO+?, prepared in situ by oxidation of DABCO with a triarylaminium salt, effects highly selective and contra-thermodynamic C-H abstraction from N-CH3 groups. The intermediates that result react in situ with organometallic nucleophiles in a single pot, affording novel and highly selective homologation of N-CH3 groups. Chemoselectivity, scalability, and recyclability of reagents are demonstrated, and a mechanistic proposal is corroborated by computational and experimental results. The utility of the transformation is demonstrated in the late-stage site-selective functionalization of natural products and pharmaceuticals, allowing rapid derivatization for investigation of structure-activity relationships.
Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Anisoles with Alkyl Grignard Reagents via C-O Bond Cleavage

Nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of methoxyarenes with alkyl Grignard reagents, which involves the cleavage of the C(aryl)-OMe bond, has been developed. The use of 1,3-dicyclohexylimidazol-2-ylidene as a ligand allows the introduction of a variety of alkyl groups, including Me, Me3SiCH2, ArCH2, adamantyl, and cyclopropyl. The method can also be used for the alkylative elaboration of complex molecules bearing a C(aryl)-OMe bond.
Polonovski-type N-demethylation of N-methyl alkaloids using substituted ferrocene redox catalysts
Kok, Gaik B.,Scammells, Peter J.
experimental part, p. 2587 - 2594 (2012/09/22)
Various substituted ferrocenes have been trialed as catalysts in the nonclassical Polonovski reaction for N-demethylation of N-methyl alkaloids. Earlier studies suggest that conditions facilitating a higher ferrocenium ion concentration lead to superior outcomes. In this regard, the bifunctional ferrocene FcCH2CO2H, with electron donor and acceptor moieties in the same molecule, has been shown to be advantageous for use as a catalyst in the N-demethylation of a number of tertiary N-methylamines such as codeine, thebaine, and oripavine. These substrates are readily N-demethylated under mild conditions, employing sub-stoichiometric amounts of the substituted ferrocene at ambient temperature. These reactions are equally efficient in air and may also be carried out in one pot. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.

supporting information; experimental part, p. 4499 - 4502 (2010/09/15)
Under Polonovski-type conditions, ferrocene has been found to be a convenient and efficient catalyst for the N-demethylation of a number of N-methyl alkaloids such as opiates and tropanes. By judicious choice of solvent, good yields have been obtained for dextromethorphan, codeine methyl ether, and thebaine. The current methodology is also successful for the N-demethylation of morphine, oripavine, and tropane alkaloids, producing the corresponding N-nor compounds in reasonable yields. Key pharmaceutical intermediates such oxycodone and oxymorphone are also readily N-demethylated using this approach.
