Acylation of hydroxy aromatic compounds with 2-bromo-2-methylpropionamide followed by Smiles rearrangement of the resulting 2-aryloxypropionamide in a one-pot procedure produced the corresponding 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-N-arylpropionamides which can be converted to arylamines by hydrolysis. Particularly important applications of this new process were the conversions of estrone (6) and estradiol (14) to the corresponding 3-aminoestrahriene derivatives 8 and 15, respectively. In addition, an improved Semmler-Wolff procedure is described for the conversion of 19-nortestosterone (22) to 3-aminoestra-1,3,5(10)-uien-17β-ol hydrochloride (26).

Asymmetric assembly of atropisomeric anilines from abundant and readily available precursors is one of the most challenging but valuable processes in organic synthesis. The use of highly efficient Smiles rearrangement to accomplish switchable enantioselec

The classic "message-address" concept was proposed to address the binding of endogenous peptides to the opioid receptors and was later successfully applied in the discovery of the first nonpeptide δ opioid receptor (DOR) antagonist naltrindole. By revisiting this concept, and based on the structure of tramadol, we designed a series of novel compounds that act as highly potent and selective agonists of DOR among which (-)-6j showed the highest affinity (Ki = 2.7 nM), best agonistic activity (EC50 = 2.6 nM), and DOR selectivity (more than 1000-fold over the other two subtype opioid receptors). Molecular docking studies suggest that the "message" part of (-)-6j interacts with residue Asp1283.32 and a neighboring water molecule, and the "address" part of (-)-6j packs with hydrophobic residues Leu3007.35, Val2816.55, and Trp2846.58, rendering DOR selectivity. The discovery of novel compound (-)-6j, and the obtained insights into DOR-agonist binding will help us design more potent and selective DOR agonists.
