      J Med Chem Paper with DOB-like phenethylamines     

J Med Chem 2001, 44, 3283-3291

Compound 6 looks very accessible

and with a Ki of 13 nM in an 5-HT2A

where DOB is 32 nM.

They also mention compound 2, whose work is in press, that is 8nM.

And what the hell are these sarpogrelate and SR46349B chemical entities all about?

They are 5HT antagonists at the receptor level.  (as opposed to the reuptake level)

antagonism at the receptor level sounds like a bummer


but do they have any interesting properties or uses is more the question, i've never heard of them.

Okay, so here's the deal (as I know it):

They found that the 2,5-Dimethoxy substituent pattern was not required for high receptor binding affinity in 5HT2A ligands, but the catch being that they exibit antagonistic character. Sarpogrelate and SR46349B are just standard 5-HT2 antagonists that these novel antagonists are being compared to. Like how novel 5-HT1A,2A&2C agonists are compared to DOI, LSD, or LY293284.

Out of the Phenylisopropylamines, the DOB and DOTFM analouges with the Benzodifuran1,2, and Tetrahydrobenzodifuran3 moieties seem to be the most potent agonists (=fun).

I still find DOTFM interesting, as it is easily accessable through DOI or DOB, although still being about equipotent. It's effects in humans is still largely unknown, unless you are inclined to believe Drone's rumors in Post 122784 (dormouse: "Bromo-benzodifuranyl-isopropylamine  -Lilienthal", Serious Chemistry). I know that humans are virtually unable to metabolize Trifluoromethyl groups, apperently it just won't leave the receptor? Its ridiculously electronegative, And still very hydrophobic -- it CAN'T hydrogen bond to anything. No enzyme can bind to it. As Dr. Shulgin put it "its the world's shortest length of teflon", and essentially that is what it is. (To borrow a few word's from Drone)

On a similar note, does anyone know why the 4-Cyano or Isocyano compounds have not been explored? These are also easily accessable from the aromatic halogens. I remember Assholium talked of 2-C 4-thiocyanate, and gave conformation that it was indeed active (and fun!).laugh

The cyano compound could be made by preparing the 4-carboxylic PEA, then converting it to the nitrile in the last step. the carboxylate could be prepared by coverting 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde to its corresponding dioxolane, then treating with magnesium to form the Grignard reeagent. The grignard intermediate is then treated with dry ice, and there you have it.

I think I'd rather do a sandmeyer on a 4-amino-PEA. I have found quite a few references on such reactions where the aliphatic amine is left untouched.

BTW, can you do a sandmeyer with copper(I)azide, or will it explode?

4-Halo-PEA with Zn(CN)2 or CuCN, in DMF or Dimethylacetamide catalysed by a Pd(0) Complex. Like Pd(PPh3)4, although other ligand complexes give better conversion. High yields (>90%) when the ring is sufficiently activated.

Acid to ester (drop sulf in MeOH), ester to carboxamide (liq NH3, sealed tube cool or aq NH3 reflux), POCl3 reflux strip, very quantitative

maybee Boc or Z here
then you can do a Pinner reaction thereafter 1 eq EtOH, HCl(g) bnezene/DCM
to get the amino imidate salt,
then amidine, cyclic or not or aminooxime in EtOH or AcOH maybee

or tertrazole with Na azide hell might even be able to do that directly from free amine cyano compound

Maybee the oxadiazole too from the Ester

whatever you would want to
but what would you want to do?
of that which remains to be done
this compound 2 from the paper I mentioned
with 2 nM
is a n-propyl-3-phenyl

All of these routes are very similar. All using either the Aryl Bromide or Chloride. Zn(CN)2 as the CN donor. Catalytic amounts of the Pd(0) complex, like Pd2(dba)3[tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium] which gives the best results, or Pd(PPh3)4 and dppf [1,10-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene], which is commonly used as a ligand to enhance the reactivity of a palladium complex, in a polar aprotic solvent like MeCN, N,N-Dimethylformamide(DMF), N,N-Dimethylacetamide(DMA), 1-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidinone(NMP) are all suitable solvents. Although wet DMF seemes to give the best results. Mild heat (<150°C) and agitation.

I took it from the online version of pihkal (@erowid). Shulgin himself is also not really clear about gamma and psi tongue.

From the TMA-6 entry:

[...] And the first indicators are that, in keeping the 2,6-dimethoxy aspect intact, a completely analogous series could be made, again with modifications of the 4-position. These have been named the psu-series, or psi-series, as an abbreviation for the prefix, pseudo,
and can be differentiated from the 2,4,5-things with the use of the Greek letter "gamma". Thus there is the gamma-DOM (called Z-7 in this book, and certainly an active compound), and gamma-DOB, gamma-DOET, gamma-DOI, and the gamma-ALEPH compounds. And, of course, the gamma-2C-X counterparts. I would expect all of them to be active and, certainly, some of them interesting. They will be considerably more difficult to synthesize. However, some of them, specifically things such as gamma-2C-T-4, have already been prepared, and are being evaluated.

Rh,

As far as I can tell, not azido-, cyanato, or thiocyanato-2,5-dialkoxyphenethylamines exist of any kind. In fact, only a handful of phenethylamines bearing cyanates and thiocyanates have been synthesized, and none of them bear either of these groups on the 4-position.

There have, however, been a fiar number of interesting looking 4-azidophenethylamines. One in particular is 4-azido-alpha,alpha-dimethylphenethylamine (J. Biol. Chem.  (1981),  256(22),  11944-50.)

Synthesis of Dihydrobenzofurans from Phenolic Mannich Bases and their Quaternized Derivatives
By Artur Blade-Font and Teodoro de Mas Rocabayera
J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 1. 841-848 (1982) (../rhodium/pdf /dihydrobenzofurans.mannich.pdf)

Abstract
Reaction of dimethylsulphoxonium methylide with quaternized derivatives of phenolic Mannich bases, and in certain cases with the bases themselves, constitutes a useful synthesis of dihydrobenzofurans. On the other hand treatment of those same quaternized derivatives with diazomethane may be a useful alternative procedure for the preparation of coumarans with base-sensitive groups.

Efficient Microwave-Assisted Cyanation of Aryl Bromide
Liangzhen Cai; Xin Liu; Xiaochun Tao; Dong Shen

Synthetic Communications 34(7), 1215-1221(2004)

Abstract
Aryl nitriles were easily prepared from the corresponding bromides and copper cyanide in good yields through microwave-accelerated Rosenmund-von Braun reaction in N-methylpyrrolidinone (NMP) under ambient pressure.

...
 

Scheme 1. Cyanation of aryl bromide using MW irradiation.

Experimental

Microwave-Enhanced Cyanation of Aryl Bromides; General Procedure

A mixture of aryl bromide (10 mmol), CuCN (1.2 g, 13 mmol), and 10 mL of NMP was subjected to microwave irradiation (200 W) under ambient pressure for an optimized time listed in Table 1. The reaction was monitored by TLC. After irradiation, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and then diluted with 20 mL of ice water. The precipitates were collected by filtration and treated with aqueous ammonia. The crude product was taken up into chloroform followed by filtration. After removal of the solvent, the product was further purified by recrystallization from aqueous ethanol.
