3-Iodothyronamine (1, T1AM) is a naturally occurring derivative of thyroid hormone that can potently activate the orphan G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) known as the trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR 1). We have previously found that modifying the outer ring of the phenoxyphenethylamine core scaffold of 1 can improve potency and provide potent agonists. In this study, we explored the tolerance of rat and mouse TAAR 1 (rTAAR1 and mTAAR1) for structural modifications in the ethylamine portion of 1. We found that incorporating unsaturated hydrocarbon substituents and polar, hydrogen-bond-accepting groups were beneficial for rTAAR1 and mTAAR1, respectively, providing compounds that were equipotent or more potent than 1. Additionally, we have discovered that a naphthyl group is an excellent isosteric replacement for the iodophenyl ring of 1.
Kinetics of the solvolyses of benzhydryl derivatives: Basis for the construction of a comprehensive nucleofugality scale

A series of 21 benzhydrylium ions (diarylmethylium ions) are proposed as reference electrofuges for the development of a general nucleofugality scale, where nucleofugality refers to a combination of leaving group and solvent. A total of 167 solvolysis rate constants of benzhydrylium tosylates, bromides, chlorides, trifluoroacetates, 3,5-dinitrobenzoates, and 4-nitroben-zoates, two-thirds of which have been determined during this work, were subjected to a least-squares fit according to the correlation equation log k 25°C = Sf(Nf + Ef), where s f and Nf are nucleofuge-specific parameters and E f is an electrofuge-specific parameter. Although nucleofuges and electrofuges characterized in this way cover more than 12 orders of magnitude, a single set of the parameters, namely sf, Nf, and E f, is sufficient to calculate the solvolysis rate constants at 25°C with an accuracy of ± 16%. Because sf ≈ 1 for all nucleofuges, that is, leaving group/ solvent combinations, studied so far, qualitative discussions of nucleofugality can be based on Nf.

Scales of carbenium ion stabilities have been obtained from 1H NMR equilibrium studies of mixtures of partly ionized para-substituted diarylmethyl chlorides in CD2Cl2/BCl3 at -70 deg C and via calorimetric determination of the heats of ionization (ΔHi) of the alkyl chlorides (Ar2CHCl + BCl3 -> Ar2CH+BCl4-) in CH2Cl2/BCl3 at -70 deg C.The heats of the reactions of diarylmethyl tetrachloroborates with 2-methyl-1-pentene (Ar2CH+BCl4- + CH2=C(CH3)C3H7 -> Ar2CHCH2C(CH3)ClC3H7 + BCl3), which were determined by low-temperature calorimetry, increase from -53.1 kJ/mol for (H3CC6H4)2CH+BCl4- to -33.0 kJ/mol for the better stabilized (H3COC6H4)(H3CC6H4)CH+BCl4-.In contrast, the heats (ΔHa) of the Lewis acid catalyzed additions of the corresponding para-substituted diarylmethyl chlorides to 2-methyl-1-pentene are independent of the para substituents (ΔHa=-86.5 +/-2.7 kJ/mol).Similar values of ΔHa were obtained for the addition of p-anisylphenylmethyl chloride to trimethylethylene, styrene, β-methylstyrene, and isoprene. ΔHa is predominantly determined by the conversion of a ?(C=C) into a ?(C-C) bond, and the heats of addition of diarylmethyl tetrachloroborates to alkenes in CH2Cl2 are given by the equation ΔHb=(9.5 +/- 6.3 pKR+) kJ/mol.
Ionisation and Dissociation of Diarylmethyl Chlorides in BCl3/CH2Cl2 Solution: Spectroscopic Evidence for Carbenium Ion Pairs

The ionisation equilibria of diarylmethyl chlorides Ar2CHCl (Ar = p-CH3O-C6H4, p-PhO-C6H4, p-CH3-C6H4) reacting with BCl3 in CH2Cl2 to give ion-pairs Ar2CH(+)BCl4(-) (KI), and the dissociation of these (KD) were studied by conductimetry and spectro-photometry.The molar conductivities are almost independent of the nature of the aryl group (ca. 3.5E-3 Sm2/mol at -70 deg C).The ionisation constants KI increase strongly with increasing electron releasing ability of the p-substituents.The standard ionisation enthalpies and entropies for (p-CH3-C6H4)2CHCl and (p-PhO-C6H4)(Ph)CHCl, calculated from the KI at different temperatures are negative.The dissociation constants KD do not show a systematic dependence on the electron donating abilities of the substituents in the aryl groups.Small differences between the UV-vis absorption spectra of unpaired and paired ions were used to confirm the conductimetrically determined values of KD. - Key words: Carbocations / Electrochemistry / Ionisation / Spectroscopy, Visible / Thermodynamics
