Page/Page column 59, (2016/06/28)
The present invention relates to novel 6,7-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-α]pyrazin-4(5H)-one derivatives as negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) of the metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 2 ("mGluR2"). The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, to processes for preparing such compounds and compositions, and to the use of such compounds and compositions for the prevention or treatment of disorders in which the mGluR2 subtype of metabotropic receptors is involved.

O-Benzyl protected gluconolactone 1 reacts readily with 2-lithio derivatives of quinaldine, 2-methylquinoxaline, 2-methylbenzimidazole and N-protected derivatives, and 1-benzyloxymethyl-2-methylimidazole at low temperatures to afford as monoaddition products the corresponding D-gluco-2-heptuloses 2-5. The benzyl protective groups can be readily removed by hydrogenolysis as shown for the transformation of 4a into 8. Acylation reactions with 4a exhibited an interesting interplay between O-and N-acylation which is dependent on the nature of the acylating agent and on the reaction conditions. Reductive removal of the anomeric hydroxy group in 4a-c and 5 was readily performed via elimination products 18a-c and 23; their hydrogenation with Pd/C gave directly the O,N-deprotected C-β-D-glucopyranosylmethyl derivatives 21 and 25, respectively.
