GT-2331 is a potent histamine H3 antagonist which has entered clinical trials. Efficient multigram syntheses of this compound and its enantiomer are described. The literature reports that GT-2331 is the dextrorotatory (+), more potent, enantiomer of 4-[2-(5,5-dimethylhex-1-ynyl)cyclopropyl]-1H-imidazole with the absolute configuration of (1R,2R)-1. However, we found that the dextrorotatory, more potent
GT-2331是一种有效的组胺H 3拮抗剂,已进入临床试验。描述了该化合物及其对映异构体的有效数克合成。文献报道GT-2331是4- [2-(5,5-二甲基己基-1-炔基)环丙基] -1 H-咪唑的右旋(+),更有效的对映异构体,其绝对构型为(1 R,2 R)-1。然而,我们发现4- [2-(5,5-二甲基己基-1-炔基)环丙基] -1 H-咪唑的右旋,更有效的对映异构体具有(1 S,2 S)绝对构型。我们建议重新考虑GT-2331的绝对配置。
