Opticallyactive fluorine-containing alcohols with up to 97% enantiomeric excess were synthesized by the enantioselective addition of dialkylzincs to fluorine-containing aldehydes using chiral β-aminoalcohol catalysts such as N,N-dibutylnorephedrine (DBNE, 2d), 2-morpholino-1-phenyl-1-propanol (2g, MOPEP) and diphenyl(1-methylpyrrolidin-2-yl)methanol (3, DPMPM).

A chiral 2,2′-bipyridine ligand (1) bearing α,α′-trifluoromethyl-alcohols at 6,6′-positions was designed in five steps affording either the R,R or S,S enantiomer with excellent stereoselectivities, i.e. 97% de, >99% ee and >99.5% de, >99.5% ee, respectively. The key step for reaching high levels of stereoselectivity was demonstrated to be the resolution of the α-CF3-alcohol using (S)-ibuprofen as the
手性 2,2'-联吡啶配体 ( 1 ) 在 6,6'-位带有 α,α'-三氟甲基-醇,分五步设计,得到具有优异立体选择性的R , R或S , S对映异构体,即97 % de, >99% ee 和 >99.5% de, >99.5% ee。已证明达到高立体选择性的关键步骤是使用 ( S )-布洛芬作为拆分剂拆分α-CF 3 -醇。2,2'-联吡啶-α,α'-CF 3 -二醇配体的初步应用在 Zn II 中得到了强调-催化芳香、杂芳香和脂肪醛的不对称乙基化反应。新开发的配体的协同电子缺陷和空间位阻特性使相应的醇具有良好的收率(高达 99%)和对映选择性(高达 95% ee)。从单晶衍射分析中观察到,2,2'-联吡啶-α,α'-CF 3 -二醇配体的络合产生了不寻常的六配位Zn II。
Synthesis and activity of 2-methyl-3-aminopropiophenones as centrally acting muscle relaxants
Some novel 2-methyl-3-aminopropiophenones were synthesized and their centrally acting muscle relaxant activities were evaluated for an inhibitory effect on the flexor reflex in rats. The structure-activity relationships are discussed. In this series, 2-methyl-3-pyrrolidino-1-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-propan-1-one (28) showed significant centrally acting muscle relaxant activity. In addition, the activities of each enantiomer (28-(S) and (R)) were studied along with their acute toxicities. Compound 28-(R) was found to exhibit more potent activity and weaker acute toxicity than 28-(S). Accordingly, compound 28-(R) (NK433) is under development as a novel centrally acting muscle relaxant.
