(Chemical Equation Presented) The peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor ligands such as PK 11195 and Ro 5-4864 were found more than twenty years ago in the course of research on neurobiology. These ligands were instrumental in pointing out an involvement of the peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) in apoptosis processes. With in mind an improvement of the solubility of PK 11195 in biological media, we report here improved reaction conditions for the palladium-based arylation reaction of alkyl 1-bromoisoquinoline-3-carboxylates and its ethyl 4-bromoquinoline-2-carboxylate isomer. The use of [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino) ferrocene] dichloropalladium as a precatalyst enabled a much improved preparation of an array of the 1-arylisoquinoline-3- carboxylates as well as 4-arylquinoline-3-carboxylates. This work should pave the way for the design of chemical probes aiming at the elucidation of the PBR biological role(s).

In connection with our research of new antitumor compounds, previously undescribed approaches to the 1-(2-chlorophenyl)isoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid 9 are reported here. Two related accesses from phenylethylamine or amphetamine were investigated and were found to be successful. A more robust synthesis, using Suzuki's cross-coupling between 2-chlorophenylboronic acid 15 and the previously unreported methyl-1-bromoisoquinoline-3-carboxylate 14 was also developed. This synthetic route provides the ground for a combinatorial approach to the core structure of new potential peripheral benzodiazepine receptor ligands.
