Homoepibatidine 2 and
dihomoepibatidine 3 have been synthesised
from the 8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-ene 8
and the 9-azabicyclo[4.2.1]oct-7-ene 9,
respectively, the key precursors for reductive Heck coupling reactions. Alternative
routes starting from cyclohepta- and cycloocta-1,3-diene are described; deoxygenation
of tropane and homotropane epoxides provides a convenient route to 8 and 9.
The enantiomers of 2 show similar
potency at nicotinic receptors to the corresponding epibatidine enantiomers;
the affinity of 3 is lower.
高催眠素2和二高催眠素3已分别从8-
氮杂双环[3.2.1]辛-6-烯8和9-
氮杂双环[4.2.1]辛-7-烯9合成,它们是还原性Heck耦合反应的关键前体。描述了从环庚-1,3-二烯和环辛-1,3-二烯开始的替代路线;
莨菪烷和同
莨菪烷环氧化合物的脱氧作用为8和9提供了一条便捷的合成路线。2的对映异构体在
烟碱受体上的效能与相应的催眠素对映异构体相似;3的亲和性较低。
