Synthesis of Benzobicyclo[2.2.1]heptylimidazoles as Conformationally Constrained Adrenergic Receptor Antagonists
摘要:
A facile method for the preparation of conformationally rigid analogues of the adrenergic alpha-2 receptor antagonist atipamezole and the adrenergic alpha-2 receptor agonist medetomidine has been developed. The efficient benzyne [4+2] cycloaddition reaction was used to give the core 7-acetylbenzonorbomadiene structure, which was subsequently elaborated to the corresponding imidazole-based syn and anti isomers by means of the classical Bredereck's method.
