Antagonists for the serotonin receptor 2B (5-HT2B) have clinical applications towards migraine, anxiety, irritable bowl syndrome, and MDMA abuse; however, few selective 5-HT2B antagonists have been identified. Previous studies from these labs identified a natural product, 5-hydroxy-2-(2-phenylethyl)chromone (5-HPEC, 2) as the first non-nitrogenous ligand for the 5-HT2B receptor. Studies on 5-HPEC optimization led to the identification of 5-hydroxy-2-(3-phenylpropyl)chromone (5-HPPC, 3), which showed a tenfold improvement in binding affinity over 2 at 5-HT2B. This study aimed to further improve receptor pharmacology of this unique scaffold. Guided by molecular modeling studies modifications at the C-3′ and C-4′ positions of 3 were made to probe their effects on ligand binding affinity and efficacy. Among the derivatives synthesized 5-hydroxy-2-(3-(3-cyanophenyl)propyl)chromone (5-HCPC, 3d) showed the most promise with a multifold improvement in binding affinity (pKi = 7.1 ± 0.07) over 3 with retained antagonism.

Borontribromide (BBr3) is a well-known demethylating agent. The current investigation was focused on a new application of borontribromide as a C-C bond forming agent in cyclic ketones. In this study, borontribromide mediated C-C bond formation reactions of tetralones, chromenone, thiochromenone and indanones were explored. A methoxy group containing ketones showed selective C-C bond formation reaction instead of demethylation of the methoxy group. MM2 steric energy calculations for the final products showed that the reaction favored the formation of exo- or endo-cyclic double bond containing products, depending upon their low MM2 steric energy in a specific frame structure, as observed in X-ray crystallography. A comprehensive crystallographic and pi-stacking analysis of product 10a demonstrated the formation of 10a as an enantiomeric mixture, and its centre of inversion was stabilized by a set of three unique pi-pi interactions.
