, (2009/01/24)
The present invention is directed to cyclopropyl proline bis-amide compounds which are antagonists of orexin receptors, and which are useful in the treatment or prevention of neurological and psychiatric disorders and diseases in which orexin receptors are involved. The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and the use of these compounds and compositions in the prevention or treatment of such diseases in which orexin receptors are involved.

The cyclopropanation of unsaturated lactams 1 and 3 derived from pyroglutamic acid with nucleophilic alkylidene transfer reagents is investigated. Good-to-modest yields of cyclopropanes were obtained with most sulfur ylides explored. Syn/anti selectivity was found to be dependent on the synthon as well as the sulfur ylide. This cyclopropanation methodology is used in the synthesis of arginine and glutamic acid analogues.
NEW ROUTES TO THE SYNTHESES OF CIS-α-(CARBOXYCYCLOPROPYL)GLYCINES FROM L-GLUTAMIC ACID. CONFORMATIONALLY RESTRICTED ANALOGUES OF THE EXCITATORY NEUROTRANSMITTER L-GLUTAMIC ACID

Potent neuroactive amino acids, (2S,2S,4R) and (2S,3R,4S) isomers of α-(carboxycyclopropyl)glycines (CCG-III and CCG-IV), were synthesized from L-glutamic acid via a palladium(II) catalyzed cyclopropanation of the α,β-unsaturated pyrrolidone and γ-amino-δ-lactone derivatives, respectively.
