- Inhibitors of the glycine transporter type-2 (GlyT-2): synthesis and biological activity of benzoylpiperidine derivatives.
-
A series of benzoylpiperidine analogs related to 4a was prepared, and their ability to inhibit the uptake of [(14)C]-glycine in COS7 cells transfected with human glycine transporter type-2 (GlyT-2) was evaluated. Small structural changes to the benzoylpiperidine region of the molecule led to a significant decrease in GlyT-2 inhibitory activity. In contrast, the distal aryl ring was more tolerant to functional group modifications and could accommodate a variety of substitutes at the C-2 or C-3 positions. Comparable activities to 4a were obtained by replacing the anilino nitrogen with an ether linkage 27 or by exchanging the isopropoxy ether moiety with an isopropyl amino group 15. A distinct preference for a 2-carbon tether (n=1) was observed relative to the corresponding 3-carbon homolog (n=2).

- The Use of 2-Oxazolidinones as Latent Aziridine Equivalents. 2. Aminoethylation of Aromatic Amines, Phenols, and Thiophenols
-
The utility of 2-oxazolidinones 1 as latent, carboxylated aziridine functionalities was examined.Reaction of 2-oxazolidinone (1a), 3-methyl2-oxazolidinone (1b), 3-(phenylmethyl)-2-oxazolidinone (1c), 3-phenyl-2-oxazolidinone (1d) 4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazolidinone (1e), and 5-ethyl-2-oxazolidinone (1f) with aromatic amine salts, phenol, or thiophenols at elevated temperatures (> 130 deg C) afforded aminoethylated adducts.The aminoethylation occurred with concomitant loss of carbon dioxide to furnish variously substituted N-aryl-1,2-ethanediamines 4, 1-(2-phenoxyethyl)-2-imidazolidinone (8), or 2-(arylthio)ethanamines 9 on reactions of 1 with aromatic amine salts, phenol, and thiophenols, respectively.Imidazolidinone 8 is believed to be a secondary reaction product resulting from the condensation of the initially formed 2-phenoxyethanamine with starting oxazolidinone 1a.The aminoethylation reaction did not proceed with aliphatic amine hydrochlorides or alkyl mercaptans.Preliminary mechanistic pathways for these ring openings were also investigated employing a specific, C-5 deuterium-labeled oxazolidinone 1b-d2.Ring-opening experiments of 1b-d2 with N-methylaniline hydrochloride suggest reaction can occur through either a dioxazolinium 5 and/or 5 intermediate.In contrast, reaction of 1b-d2 with thiophenol suggests ring-opening to proceed only via the dioxazolinium pathway.
