Isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions (IMCR) are among the most important chemical reactions to efficiently generate molecular diversity and have found widespread use in industry and academia. Generally, isocyanides are synthesized in 1-2 steps starting from primary amines. Here, we provide experimental detail on an alternative approach toward formamides and, thus, isocyanides via the Leuckart-Wallach reaction in an improved variation. The resulting >50 synthesized and characterized formamides are useful starting materials for IMCR, as well as other chemistries. The advantage of using the Leuckart-Wallach pathway to formamides and isocyanides is the lower price, on average, of the starting materials, as well as their differential and complementary structural diversity, as compared to the primary amine pathway.

Using N-(2,6-dimethyl)phenyl-2-piperidinecarboxamide (1) and N-(α-methylbenzyl)-2-piperidinecarboxamide (2) as structural leads, a variety of analogues were synthesised and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity in the MES test in mice. In the N-benzyl series, introduction of 3-Cl, 4-Cl, 3,4-Cl2, or 3-CF3 groups on the aromatic ring led to an increase in MES activity. Replacement of the α-methyl group by either i-Pr or benzyl groups enhanced MES activity with no increase in neurotoxicity. Substitution on the piperidine ring nitrogen led to a decrease in MES activity and neurotoxicity, while reduction of the amide carbonyl led to a complete loss of activity. Movement of the carboxamide group to either the 3- or 4-positions of the piperidine ring decreased MES activity and neurotoxicity. Incorporation of the piperidine ring into a tetrahydroisoquinoline or diazahydrinone nucleus led to increased neurotoxicity. In the N-(2,6-dimethyl)phenyl series, opening of the piperidine ring between the 1- and 6-positions gave the active norleucine derivative 75 (ED50 = 5.8 mg kg-1, TD50 = 36.4 mg kg-1, PI = 6.3). Replacement of the piperidine ring of 1 by cycloalkane (cyclohexane, cyclopentane, and cyclobutane) resulted in compounds with decreased MES activity and neurotoxicity, whereas replacement of the piperidine ring by a 4-pyridyl group led to a retention of MES activity with a comparable PI. Simplification of the 2-piperidinecarboxamide nucleus of 1 into a glycinecarboxamide nucleus led to about a six-fold decrease in MES activity. The 2,6-dimethylanilides were the most potent compounds in the MES test in each group of compounds evaluated, and compounds 50 and 75 should be useful leads in the development of agents for the treatment of tonic-clonic and partial seizures in man.

Phenylindanes were obtained from the reaction of N-acyl-1-arylalkylamines with polyphosphoric ester (PPE). cis-1-Methyl-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-5,6-dimethoxyindane was synthesized to determine which stereoisomer was produced by N-formyl and N-acetyl-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethylamine with PPE.Nuclear magnetic resonance specta (1H and 13C) of several mono-, 1,3-di-, and 1,2,3-tri-substituted indanes were fully analyzed to provide information on steric interactions and conformation of the cyclopentene ring.Possible cyclodimerization pathways are proposed.
