Syntheses of 2,5- and 2,6-difluoronorepinephrine, 2,5-difluoroepinephrine, and 2,6-difluorophenylephrine: effect of disubstitution with fluorine on adrenergic activity
摘要:
Synthetic routes to difluorinated analogs of the adrenergic agonists, norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (E), and phenylephrine (PE) have been developed. The syntheses were based on elaboration of the ethanolamine side chains from the appropriately polyfunctionalized benzaldehydes, The benzaldehydes were prepared from precursor difluorinated benzenes by sequential regioselective lithiations and reaction with electrophiles to introduce hydroxyl and carboxaldehyde functionalities. Binding and functional assay data demonstrate that the 2,6-difluorinated analogs are relatively inactive at both alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors. These results are consistent with earlier observations that 2-fluoro substitution of adrenergic agonists decreases alpha-adrenergic activity whereas 6-fluoro substitution decreases beta-adrenergic activity.

series of PC190723 derivatives was synthesized and investigated for their antimicrobial activity. The compounds exhibited good activity against several Gram-positive bacteria as determined by comparison of diameters of the zone of inhibition of test compounds and standard antibiotics. Compound 9 with a fluorine substitution on the phenyl ring showed the best antibacterialactivity in the series against
method for the deprotonative silylation of aromatic C–H bonds has been developed using trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane (CF3SiMe3, Ruppert–Prakash reagent) and a catalytic amount of fluoride. In this reaction, CF3SiMe3 is considered to act as a base and a silicon electrophile. This process is highly tolerant to various functional groups on heteroarenes and benzenes. Furthermore, this method can be applied
