As the orexin signaling system is crucial for the regulation of the sleep/wake cycle, inhibitors of orexin-1 and orexin-2 receptors are of significant interest in the treatment of insomnia. Herein, a series of novel azacycloheptane sulfonamide derivatives were designed and synthesized, and all the compounds were evaluated as potential orexin receptor inhibitors by FLIPR Tetra calcium assay. A majority of the tested azacycloheptane sulfonamide derivatives showed OX1R and OX2R inhibitory activity. Chloro-substituted derivatives functionalized at the C5 or C6 position of the benzoxazole group exhibited better inhibitory activity for OX1R and OX2R than unsubstituted derivatives functionalized at C5 or C6. In addition, phenyl group modification had positive effects on the inhibitory activities, and an electron-withdrawing fluorine group at the ortho or meta position of the phenyl ring improved the OX2R inhibitory activity of the derivatives. This suggests that azacycloheptane sulfonamide derivatives are promising scaffolds for the development of OX1R and OX2R antagonists.

Paragraph 0087; 0088, (2018/09/08)
The invention relates to a preparation method for R-3-aminobutanol. The preparation method specifically comprises the following steps: (a) reacting R-3-aminobutyric acid with di-tert-butyl carbonate in the presence of a polar solvent so as to form N-Boc-(R)-3-aminobutyric acid; (b) reducing N-Boc-(R)-3-aminobutyric acid in the presence of a reducing agent and Lewis acid so as to form N-Boc-(R)-3-aminobutanol; and (c) subjecting N-Boc-(R)-3-aminobutanol to a Boc removal in the presence of an acid solvent so as to form R-3-aminobutanol. The preparation method of the invention is simple in process, low in cost, friendly to environment, easier for industrial production and worth promotion.

A facile synthesis of suvorexant, an orexin receptor antagonist, is described. The key intermediate 6 was prepared from R-3-aminobutyric acid through protection, condensation, deprotection, cyclization, and hydrogenation steps. The title product was obtained with a total yield of 31% (>99% ee) after eight linear steps using commercially available raw materials.
