In this paper, we describe the synthesis of (+)-(1R*,2R*)-2-[(1S*)-1-amino-1-carboxy- 2-(9H-xanthen-9-yl)-ethyl]-1-fluoro-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid (+)-16a, a compound, that is, fluorinated at the alpha position of the carboxylic acid in the cyclopropane ring of a group II mGluRs antagonist, 1 (LY341495), using a previously reported stereoselective cyclopropanation reaction. The fluorinated compound (+)-16a exhibited almost the same affinity (IC50 = 3.49 nM) for mGluR2 as 1 but had a superior pharmacokinetic pro. le. Furthermore, a marked elevation of the plasma levels of (+)-16a was observed following the administration of a prodrug, (+)-17. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
