A mild and efficient method for the synthesis of unsymmetrical diaryl- and triarylmethanes through a B(C6F5)3 catalyzed reduction of para-quinone methides and fuchsones respectively, using the Hantzsch ester as a reducing source has been developed. Detailed mechanistic investigations revealed that the reaction actually proceeds through a Lewis acid-base pair complex derived from B(C6F5)3 and the Hantzsch ester.

A series of 2-phenoxy-3-phenylpropanoic acids has been prepared which contains many potent hypoglycemic agents as demonstrated by assessing glucose lowering in ob/ob mice. Some compounds (32, 33, 59) normalize plasma glucose in this diabetic model at doses of approximately 1 mg/kg. The mechanism of action of these drugs may involve enhanced glucose transport, especially in fat cells, but the compounds do not stimulate GLUT4 translocation and do not increase the levels of GLUT1 or GLUT4 in vivo. Thus, these compounds may enhance the intrinsic activity of the glucose transporter GLUT1 or GLUT4. Some compounds also modestly decrease hepatocyte gluconeogenesis in vitro, but this is not likely to be a major contributor to the hypoglycemic effect observed in vivo. Likewise, a modest decrease in food consumption observed with some of these compounds was shown by a pair-feeding experiment not to be the primary cause of the hypoglycemia observed.
Beclobrate and eniclobrate hydrochloride, new diphenylmethane derivatives as agents for lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Part I: Synthesis and consideration of structure-activity relationships (author's transl)

, p. 711 - 720 (2007/10/05)
Within the course of a research project for finding new lipid-lowering substances with better therapeutic indices than the standard agent in use, various diphenylmethane derivatives were synthesized and tested with respect to their activity and toxicity. On the basis of these results Sgd 24774 (beclobrate) and Sgd 33374 (eniclobrate-hydrochloride) were selected for further investigation and clinical studies.
