A general synthetic method of acromelic acid congeners was developed. Various C4-substituents of this family was introduced by the substitution reaction of the corresponding tosylate with diaryl copper lithium. Phenyl derivative 11 showed comparable excitatory activity with kainic acid, and o-anisyl derivative 12 had most potent activity in this family.

The highly stereoselective synthesis of acromelic acid analogs; 3a and 3b, was achieved. The new kainoid 3b was found to be the strongest neuroexcitant among the kainoids known so far.
