The present invention relates to substituted aryl or heteroarylpiperidine derivatives of structure (I) as melanocortin-4 receptor modulators. Depending on the structure and the stereochemistry the compounds of the invention are either selective agonists or selective antagonists of the human melanocortin-4 receptor (MC-4R). The agonists can be used for the treatment of disorders and diseases such as obesity, diabetes and sexual dysfunction, whereas the antagonists are useful for the treatment of disorders and diseases such as cancer cachexia, muscle wasting, anorexia, anxiety and depression. Generally all diseases and disorders where the regulation of the MC-4R is involved can be treated with the compounds of the invention.
LiAlH4 previously treated with 2 equivalents of (R)-(−)-2-(2-iso-indolinyl) butan-1-ol (a readily available reagent) reduced 2-chloro and 2,4-dimethyl benzophenones into the corresponding benzhydrols with 100% enantiomeric excess. Other examples of ketone reductions are given.
The present invention encompasses compounds of general formula (1),
wherein
A, W, X, Y, Z, Ra, Rb, Rc, R1 and R3 are defined as in claim

, which are suitable for the treatment of diseases characterised by excessive or abnormal cell proliferation, and the use thereof for preparing a pharmaceutical composition having the above-mentioned properties.

A series of the new chiral BINOL-based phosphite P,N-hybrid ligands was prepared. The coordination behavior of all the ligands was studied and the neutral complexes [Rh(CO)Cl(P<^>N)] were synthesized in order to characterize a degree of the electronic non-symmetry of donating centers. Also the neutral and cationic complexes cis-[PdCl2(eta(2)-P<^>N=)], cis-[PdCl2(eta(1)-P<^>N=)(2)], cis-[PdCl(eta(2)-P<^>N=)(eta(1)-P<^>N=)]Cl-+(-), [Pd(allyl)(eta(2)-P<^>N=)]X-+(-) (X- = Cl-, BF4-) were obtained and characterized. The new P,N-hydrid ligands gave up to 81% ee in the enantioselective Pd-catalyzed alkylation of 3-penten-2-yl carbonate by dimethyl malonate and up to 60% ee in the Rh-catalyzed hydrosilylation of acetophenone and acetylferrocene by diphenylsilane.
