A concise and convergent total synthesis of sparstolonin B was developed. A palladium-catalyzed aldehyde α-arylation was utilized to construct the carbon skeleton of the natural product. A subsequent simple one-pot procedure effected global deprotection and closure of the final two rings via an unusual autoredox mechanism for the conversion of a bis-hydroquinone intermediate to the natural product. The 6 step synthetic sequence was realized in 18% overall yield.

In this paper we describe the synthesis of a series of α-substituted analogues of the potent and selective group II metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) agonist (1S,1'S,2'S)-carboxycyclopropylglycine (2, L-CCG 1). Incorporation of a substituent on the amino acid carbon converted the agonist 2 into an antagonist. All of the compounds were prepared and tested as a series of four isomers, i.e., two racemic diastereomers. On the basis of the improvement in affinity realized for the α-phenylethyl analogue 3, in this paper we explored the effects of substitution on the aromatic ring as a strategy to increase the affinity of these compounds for group II mGluRs. Affinity for group II mGluRs was measured using [3H]glutamic acid (Glu) binding in rat forebrain membranes. Antagonist activity was confirmed for these compounds by measuring their ability to antagonize (1S,3R)-1- aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid-induced inhibition of forskolin stimulated cyclic-AMP in RGT cells transfected with human mGluR2 and mGluR3. Meta substitution on the aromatic ring of 3 with a variety of substituents, both electron donating (e.g., methyl, hydroxy, amino, methoxy, phenyl, phenoxy) and electron withdrawing (e.g., fluorine, chlorine, bromine, carboxy, trifluoromethyl) gave from 1.5- to 4.5-fold increases in affinity. Substitution with p-fluorine, as in 97 (IC50 = 0.022 ± 0.002), was the exception. Here, a greater increase in affinity was realized than for either the ortho- or meta-substituted analogues; 97 was the most potent compound resulting from monosubstitution of the aromatic. At best, only modest increases in affinity were realized for certain compounds bearing either two chlorines or two fluorines, and two methoxy groups gave no improvement in affinity (all examined in a variety of substitution patterns). Three amino acids, 4, 5, and 104, were resolved into their four constituent isomers, and affinity and functional activity for group II mGluRs was found to reside solely in the S,S,S-isomers of each, consistent with 1. With an IC50 = 2.9 ± 0.6 nM, the resolved xanthylmethyl compound 168 was the most potent compound from this SAR. Amino acid 168 demonstrated high plasma levels following intraperitoneal (ip) administration and readily penetrated into the brain. This compound, however, had only limited (~5%) oral bioavailability. Systemic administration of 168 protected mice from limbic seizures produced by the mGluR agonist 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine, with an ED50 = 31 mg/kg (ip, 60 min preinjection). Thus, 168 represents a valuable tool to study the role of group II mGluRs in disease.
High pressure nucleophilic fluoride-ion substitution reactions: Formation of fluoroalkylbenzenes

, p. 121 - 129 (2007/10/03)
A series of 1-phenyl-2-tosyloxy- and 1-phenyl-3-tosyloxyalkanes was synthesized and then subjected to tetrabutylammonium fluoride in THF under 15 kbar (1.5 GPa), 8 kbar or 1 bar pressures. The resultant substitution and elimination reaction product distributions were analyzed. The application of pressure enhanced the progress of the fluoride-ion substitution reactions. The degree of selectivity of the one reaction over the other was found to be a function of tosylate substrate structure and the amount of pressure applied. The exclusive formation of fluoroalkanes from 1-phenyl-2-tosyloxyalkane substrates under 15 kbar pressure demonstrated the potential of the pressure method for prospective use in fluorine-18 radiolabelling applications.
Influence of amine substituents on 5-HT2A versus 5-HT2C binding of phenylalkyl- and indolylalkylamines

The effect of 15 different amine substituents on 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C serotonin receptor binding was investigated for two series of compounds (i.e., phenylalkylamine and indolylalkylamine derivatives). In general, amine substitution decreases receptor affinity; however, N-(4-bromobenzyl) substitution results in compounds that bind at 5-HT2A receptors with high affinity (K(i) 100-fold selectivity. Although parallel structural modifications in the two series result in parallel shifts in 5- HT2C binding, these same modifications alter 5-HT2A binding in a less consistent manner.
2,3-dihydrobenzofuran analogues of hallucinogenic phenethylamines

, p. 276 - 281 (2007/10/02)
Two 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran analogues of hallucinogenic amphetamines were prepared and evaluated for activity in the two-lever drug-discrimination paradigm in rats trained to discriminate saline from LSD tartrate (0.08 mg/kg) and for the ability to displace [125I]-(R)-DOI ([125I]-(R)-1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane) from rat cortical homogenate 5-HT2 receptors. The compounds, 1-(5-methoxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-4-yl)-2-aminopropane (6a) and its 7-brominated analogue 6b, possessed activity comparable to their conformationally flexible counterparts 1-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-aminopropane (3) and its 4-bromo derivative DOB (5), respectively. The results suggest that the dihydrofuran ring in 6a and 6b models the active conformation of the 5-methoxy groups in 3 and 5. Free energy of binding, derived from radioligand displacement K(A) values, indicated that addition of the bromine in either series contributes 2.4-3.2 kcal/mol of binding energy. On the basis of surface area of the bromine atom, this value is 2-3 times higher than would be expected on the basis of hydrophobic binding. Thus, hydrophobicity of the para substituent alone cannot account for the dramatic enhancement of hallucinogenic activity. Although this substituent may play a minor role in orienting the conformation of the 5-methoxy group in derivatives such as 4 and 5, there appears to be some other, as yet unknown, critical receptor interaction.

Methoxyl groups ortho to β-hydroxyethyl or γ-hydroxypropyl substituents in polymethoxybenzene derivatives were regioselectively demethylated with sodium thioethoxide in N,N-dimethylformamide.Methoxydihydrobenzofurans or methoxychromans were produced by cyclization of the monodemethylated β-hydroxyethyl or γ-hydroxypropyl derivatives, respectively.
