(Matrix presented) The N-arylation of indoles, including a variety of substituted ones, has been carried out using bulky, electron-rich phosphines as the supporting ligand in combination with Pd2(dba)3. Using this catalyst system, th

A series of 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-indoles substituted at the 3-position with 1-piperazinyl, 1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4-pyridinyl, and 4-piperidinyl was synthesized. Within all three subseries potent dopamine D-2 and serotonin 5- HT2 receptor affinity was found in ligand binding studies. Quipazine-induced head twitches in rats were inhibited by most derivatives as a measure of central 5-HT2 receptor antagonism. Piperazinyl and tetrahydropyridyl indoles were cataleptogenic, while piperidyl substituted indoles surprisingly were found to be noncataleptogenic or only weakly cataleptogenic. Noncataleptogenic piperidyl derivatives also failed to block dopaminergic- mediated stereotypies, that is methyl phenidate-induced gnawing behavior in mice. These profiles resemble that of the atypical neuroleptic clozapine. 1- Ethyl-2-imidazolidinone was found to be the optimal substituent of the basic nitrogen atom in order to avoid catalepsy. The atypical neuroleptic 1-[2-[4- [5-chloro-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-1-piperidinyl]ethyl]-2- imidazolidinone (sertindole, compound 14c) was selected for further development as a result of these structure/activity studies.
