In humans, 5-HT1D serotonin receptors represent terminal autoreceptors, and there is some evidence that 5-HT1D ligands may be useful in the treatment of migraine. The most widely used 5-HT1D agonist is sumatriptan; however, this agent reportedly displays little selectivity for 5-HT1D versus 5-HT1A receptors. To identify novel serotonergic agents with enhanced 5-HT1D versus 5-HT1A selectivity, we attempted to take advantage of possible differences in the regions of bulk tolerance associated with the 5-position of the 5-HT binding sites for these two populations of receptors. Examination of a series of 5-(alkyloxy)tryptamine derivatives demonstrated that compounds with unbranched alkyl groups of up to eight carbon atoms bind with high affinity at human 5-HT1Dβ receptors (K(i) 300-fold). Branching of the alkyl chain, to 5-[(7,7-dimethylheptyl)oxy]tryptamine (15), results in an agent with somewhat lower affinity (5-HT1Dβ K(i) = 2.3 nM) but with greater (i.e., 400-fold) 5-HT1D versus 5-HT1A selectivity. Replacement of the oxygen atom of 10 with a methylene group (i.e., 20), replacement of the O-proximate methylene with a carbonyl group (i.e., ester 26), or cyclization of the aminoethyl moiety to a carbazole (e.g., 34, 36) or β- carboline (i.e., 37), result in reduced affinity and/or selectivity. None of the compounds examined displayed significant selectivity for 5-HT1Dβ versus 5-HT1Dα sites; nevertheless, compounds 10 (recently shown to behave as a 5- HT1D agonist) and 15 represent the most 5-HT1D versus 5-HT1A selective agents reported to date.

Chiral cyclic olefins, 1-methylcyclohexenes, are versatile building blocks for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and natural products. Despite the prevalence of these structural motifs, the development of efficient synthetic methods remains an unmet challenge. Herein we report a novel desymmetric isomerization of exocyclic olefins using a series of newly designed chiral cobalt catalysts, which enables a straightforward construction of chiral 1-methylcyclohexenes with diversified functionalities. The synthetic utility of this methodology is highlighted by a concise and enantioselective synthesis of a natural product, β-bisabolene. The versatility of the reaction products is further demonstrated by multifarious derivatizations.

The first catalytic asymmetric Fischer indolization is reported. In the presence of a 5 mol % loading of a novel spirocyclic chiral phosphoric acid, 4-substituted cyclohexanone-derived phenylhydrazones undergo a highly enantioselective indolization. Efficient catalyst turnover was achieved by the addition of a weakly acidic cation exchange resin, which removes the generated ammonia. The reaction can be conducted under mild conditions and gives various 3-substituted tetrahydrocarbazoles in generally high yields.
