Enantioselective synthesis of chiral cyclopropane compounds through microbial transformations of trans-2-arylcyclopropanecarbonitriles
摘要:
Enantioselective biotransformations of racemic trans-2-arylcyclopropanecarbonitriles catalyzed by Rhodococcus sp. AJ270 cells proceeded efficiently to give good to excellent optical yields of (-)-(1R,2R)-2-arylcyclopropanecarboxamides and (+)-(1S,21S)-2-arylcyclopropanecarboxylic acids, which were converted into optically active cyclopropylmethylamine and cyclopropylamine derivatives upon reduction and the Curtius rearrangement.

Rhodococcus sp. AJ270, a powerful and versatile nitrile hydratase/amidase containing microbial whole-cell system, catalyzed the enantioselective hydrolysis of both racemic trans- and cis-2-arylcyclopropanecarbonitriles to afford the corresponding amides and acids with enantiomeric excesses as high as >99%. The reaction rate and enantioselectivity observed for both nitrile hydratase and amidase were also strongly dependent upon the nature of the substituent and substitution pattern on the benzene ring of the substrates. The application of and the advantages of biotransformation of nitriles were demonstrated by preparing (1S,2R)-2-phenylcyclopropylamine and (1R,2R)-2-phenylcyclopropylmethylamine through facile and straightforward chemical manipulations of (1S,2S)-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid and (1R,2R)-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxamide, respectively.
This invention relates to compounds which modulate receptors of the 5-HT2 family of receptors, and particularly to compounds which modulate 5-HT2C receptors. Compounds of the invention include agonists and selective agonists for the 5-HT2C receptor Compounds of the invention include selective agonists for the 5-HT2C receptor which exhibit significantly less or no agonist activity on the 5-HT2A receptor and/or the 5-HT2B receptor. Compounds of this invention are those of Formula I and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters and solvates (including hydrates) wherein variables are defined in the specification hereof.

cross-coupling reaction of phenols and primary amines using a simple and readily available multifunctional reagent. The reactions work by induced proximity and electronic activation of both the nucleophile and the electrophile for net dehydrative C–N coupling reactions. Notably, the reactions do not involve the use of a transition metal for C–N bond formation, preactivation of the phenol electrophile, or exclusion

We report here the design, synthesis, and pharmacological properties of a series of compounds related to tranylcypromine (9), which itself was discovered as a lead compound in a high-throughput screening campaign. Starting from 9, which shows modest activity as a 5-HT2C agonist, a series of 1-aminomethyl-2-phenylcyclopropanes was investigated as 5-HT2C agonists through iterative structural modifications. Key pharmacophore feature of this new class of ligands is a 2-aminomethyl-trans-cyclopropyl side chain attached to a substituted benzene ring. Among the tested compounds, several were potent and efficacious 5-HT2C receptor agonists with selectivity over both 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors in functional assays. The most promising compound is 37, with 120- and 14-fold selectivity over 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B, respectively (EC50 = 585, 65, and 4.8 nM at the 2A, 2B, and 2C subtypes, respectively). In animal studies, compound 37 (10-60 mg/kg) decreased immobility time in the mouse forced swim test.
