2-Substituted (2SR)-2-Amino-2-((1SR,2SR)-2-carboxycycloprop-1-yl)glycines as Potent and Selective Antagonists of Group II Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors. 1. Effects of Alkyl, Arylalkyl, and Diarylalkyl Substitution
摘要:
In this paper, we describe the synthesis of a series of a-substituted analogues of the potent and selective group II metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) agonist (1S,1'S,2'S)-carboxy-cyclopropylglycine (2, L-CCG 1). Incorporation of a substituent on the amino acid carbon converted the agonist 2 into antagonist. Ail of the compounds were prepared and tested as a series of four isomers, i.e., two racemic diastereomers. We explored alkyl substitution, both normal and terminally branched; phenylalkyl and diphenylalkyl substitution; and a variety of aromatic and carbocyclic surrogates for phenyl. Affinity for group II mGluRs was measured using [H-3]glutamic acid (Glu) binding in rat forebrain membranes. Antagonist activity was confirmed for these compounds by measuring their ability to antagonize (1S,3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid-induced inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cyclic-AMP in RGT cells transfected with human mGluR2 and mGluR3. We found that while alkyl substitution provided no increase in affinity relative to 2, phenylethyl and diphenylethyl substitution, as in 105 and 109, respectively, were quite beneficial, The affinity of 109 was further enhanced when the two aromatic rings were joined by an oxygen or sulfur atom to form the tricyclic xanthylmethyl and thioxanthylmethyl amino acids 113 and 114, respectively. Amino acid 113, with an IC50 of 0.10 mu M in the [H-3]Glu binding assay, was 52-fold more patent than 2, whose IC50 was 0.47 mu M.

for borylation of alkylbromides and iodides to alkyl boronic esters under transition metal- and light-free conditions. A series of substrates with a wide range of functional groups were effectively transformed into the borylation products in moderate to good yields. Mechanistic studies, including radical clock experiments and DFT calculations, gave detailed insight into the radical borylation process

an analogous protocol for alkyne substrates is yet to be developed. Herein, a base and cobalt relay catalytic process for the selective synthesis of (Z)-2-alkenes and conjugated E alkenes by migratory hydrogenation of terminalalkynes is disclosed. Mechanistic studies support a relay catalytic process involving a sequential base-catalyzed isomerization of terminalalkynes and cobalt-catalyzed hydrogenation

Nickel hydride (NiH) catalyzed hydrocarbonation has emerged as an efficient approach to construct new C-C bonds containing at least one C(sp3 ) center. However, the regioselectivity of this reaction is by far dictated by substrates. Described here is a strategy to achieve two different regioselectivites of hydroalkylation of the same substrates by using ligand control. This strategy enables the first

The first Ni-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of alkyl halides with alkenyl-(9-BBN) reagents is reported. Both primary and secondary alkyl halides including alkylchlorides can be coupled. The coupling method can be combined with hydroboration of terminal alkynes, allowing the expedited synthesis of functionalized alkyl alkenes from readily available alkynes with complete (E)-selectivity in one pot

catalyzed hydrocarbonation, linear selectivity is most often obtained because of the relative stability of the linear Ni-alkyl intermediate over its branched counterpart. Herein, we show that the boronic pinacol ester (Bpin) group directs a Ni-catalyzed hydrocarbonation to occur at its adjacent carbon center, resulting in formal branch selectivity. Both alkyl and aryl halides can be used as electrophiles
