Optimization of a series of uracils bearing a 2-fluoro-or 2-chloro-3-methoxyphenyl group at the 5-position resulted in compounds such as 3d and 3f with subnanomolar binding affinity at the human GnRH receptor. While the 2-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl compound 3a was characterized as a mixture of interchangeable atropisomers, the diastereoisomers of 2-chloro-3-methoxyphenyl analogs were separated. It was found that the aR-atropisomer was much more potent than the aS-isomer based on the X-ray crystal structure of 3h-II. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
