5-Bromo-N-[4-(6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydro-1H-isoquinolin-2-yl)-butyl)]-2, 3-dimethoxy-benzamide (1) is one of the most potent and selective σ2 receptor ligands reported to date. A series of new analogs, where the amine ring fused to the aromatic ring was varied in size (5-7) and the location of the nitrogen in this ring was modified, has been synthesized and assessed for their σ1/σ2 binding affinity and selectivity. The binding affinity of an open-chained variant of 1 was also evaluated. Only the five-membered ring congener of 1 displayed a higher σ1/σ2 selectivity, derived from a higher σ2 affinity and a lower σ1 affinity. Positioning the nitrogen adjacent to the aromatic ring in the five-membered and six-membered ring congeners dramatically decreased affinity for both subtypes. Thus, location of the nitrogen within a constrained ring is confirmed to be key to the exceptional σ2 receptor binding affinity and selectivity for this active series.

A synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines (TQs) 13 with two and three methoxyl groups on the benzene ring, was achieved via intramolecular cyclization of N-aryl-N-[(phenylsulfinyl)propyl]formamides 7 utilizing the Pummerer reaction as a key step. The reaction was carried out by using trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA) (method A) or TFAA-BF3 · Et2O (method B). The cyclization to 4-PhSTQs 8 proceeded effectively when the reaction center at the benzene ring was electronically activated by a methoxyl group. In the reaction of sulfoxide 7e having two OMe groups in the ortho- and para- positions, a different cyclization reaction leading to 1,5-benzothiazepine derivative 9 was observed, indicating that the high nucleophilicity of the benzene ring caused the unexpected reaction prior to cyclization to 4-PhSTQs 8. This route starting from methoxyanilines provides an efficient and convenient method of TQ synthesis.
