Many synthetic compounds to which we attribute specific activities are produced as racemic mixtures of stereoisomers, and it may be that all the desired activity comes from a single enantiomer. We have previously shown this to be the case with the a7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor positive allosteric modulator (PAM) 3a,4,5,9b-Tetrahydro-4-(1-naphthalenyl)-3H-cyclopentan[ c]quinoline-8-sulfonamide (TQS) and the a7 ago-PAM 4BP-TQS. Cis-trans-4-(2,3,5,6-tetramethylphenyl)-3a,4,5,9b-tetrahydro- 3H-cyclopenta[c]quinoline-8-sulfonamide (2,3,5,6TMPTQS), previously published as a "silent allosteric modulator" and an antagonist of a7 allosteric activation, shares the same scaffold with three chiral centers as the aforementioned compounds. We isolated the enantiomers of 2,3,5,6TMP-TQS and determined that the (2) isomer was a significantly better antagonist than the (+) isomer of the allosteric activation of both wild-type a7 and the nonorthosterically activatible C190A a7 mutant by the ago-PAM GAT107 (the active isomer of 4BP-TQS). In contrast, (+)2,3,5,6TMPTQS proved to be an a7 PAM. (2)2,3,5,6TMP-TQS was shown to antagonize the allosteric activation of a7 by the structurally unrelated ago-PAM B-973B as well as the allosteric activation of the TQS-sensitive a4b2L159M mutant. In silico docking of 2,3,5,6TMP-TQS in the putative allosteric activation binding site suggested a specific interaction of the (2) enantiomer with a7T106, and allosteric activation of a7T106 mutants was not inhibited by (2)2,3,5,6TMP-TQS, confirming the importance of this interaction and supporting the model of the allosteric binding site. Comparisons and contrasts between 2,3,5,6TMP-TQS isomers and active and inactive enantiomers of other TQS-related compounds identify the orientation of the cyclopentenyl ring to the plane of the core quinoline to be a crucial determinate of PAM activity.
Aryllithiums with increasing steric crowding and lipophilicity prepared from chlorides in diethyl ether. the first directly prepared room-temperature-stable dilithioarenes

A convenient procedure has been developed for the preparation of synthetically useful, room-temperature-stable aryllithiums starting from aryl chlorides and lithium metal. The method provides a route to aryllithiums which have previously not been accessible cleanly or could only be prepared by using more expensive starting materials.
A new redox system: Trichloromethylarene - Pyridine base. On the mechanism of the synthesis of N-(4-pyridyl)pyridinium dichloride

A redox reaction of trichloromethylarenes with pyridines results in respective N-(α-chloroarylmethyl)-substituted pyridinium chlorides which give on hydrolysis aromatic aldehydes and 4-chloropyridines or 1,4'- bipyridinium salts.
