Page 113-114, (2008/06/13)
There is provided a series of novel substituted gamma-lactams of Formula (I) wherein R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are defined herein, their pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use. These novel compounds inhibit the processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by β-secretase and, more specifically, inhibit the production of aβ-peptide. The present invention is directed to compounds useful in the treatment of neurological disorders related to β-amyloid production, such as Alzheimer's disease and other conditions affected by anti-amyloid activity.

Protected phenylalanines 23 (seven examples), homophenylalanines 7 (eight examples), and bishomophenylalanines 8 (seven examples) have been prepared by palladium-catalyzed coupling of the amino acid-derived organozinc reagents 13, 5, and 6, respectively, with aryl iodides. While the reactions of the zinc reagent 13 may be conducted in both THF and DMF as solvent, the results obtained in DMF are generally superior. In the case of the reagents 5 and 6 the results are far superior in DMF. NMR investigations on the structure of the zinc reagents 13 in THF suggest that there is strong intramolecular coordination of the urethane carbonyl group, whereas in DMF this interaction is completely suppressed.
