      New Amph. more potent than LSD
(Rated as: excellent)

In J.Med.Chem. 2001,44, 1003-1010, there is an article abouth some very potent sub. amphetamines

The TM is this one (pic 1)

[

they both make the R form and the S form

For thr most potent form, the R form, the strenght is:

When x is H the A is a bit stronger than DOB
When x is Br the A is app. 10-20 times stronger than DOB
When x is CF3 the A is app. 5-10 times stronger than DOB

The S form of the TM has app. the ½ strenght of the R form (that's still a lot:)
The synt in the article start with l alanine, and introduce the opt.act. center from the beginning. Nice but hard to do at home. But if we start with this one, it become much easyer

[

All the steps is standardt chem.
The following steps should also bee posible

[

Mabye the bromination should bee the last thing to doo.

The oxidation with DDQ is also posible with NBS or Pd/C in wacum (dehydrogenation). It is this oxidation that makes the TM so potent, the non oxidated molecule has also been made (J.Med.Chem.1996,39,2953-2961)

Some bioassayes on human would bee nice, but i'l guess we have to do the hard work :-)

Great find!

The bromination cannot be done as the last step, or the furan rings will be brominated. Are all the steps in the synth of the benzo-bisdihydrofuran in the article? It seems a lot better than their original synth using bromochloroethane and BuLi...

Another question is whether it is an interesting compound. F'r instance, the 2C-G compounds are not that potent, but they are very long lasting and don't seem to be very much `fun', compared to other compounds.

Perhaps you should try using 2-bromoethanol instead of chloroethanol? Boiling ethylene oxide in 48% HBr should produce 2-bromoethanol. KOH is probably better than NaOH too.

Have you looked up any journal references on the synthesis of your product? It would probably help alot.

Disolve 6,16g(110mmol) KOH in 60mL wather, let the wather cool down ( 30°C), then add 5g(45mmol) hydroquinon and 8,85g(110mmol) 2-chloro-ethanol. Reflux the solution for 12 houers, cool it down (with ice) filter off the raw product.
Disolve the raw product in 100mL hot EtOAC, ekstract with 3*30mL 2M NaOH, dry the EtOAC with MgSO4, and remove the solvent in vaco.
yeald 3,5g (40%)
pure on TLC (Rf 0,44 with EtOAC as the solvent)
The same eksp. was done with 10g hydroquinon, and the yeald was again 40%

I think this is the way, the yeald is not high, but the starting materials is almost free.

The thing that sticks out in my mind about this is that the bromo-substituted analog is more potent in this series than its trifluoromethyl counterpart. I didn't see any discussion on this point in the paper, but it certanly warrants some sort of comment. Curious.

yellium- This might bee the new kitchen table 'lsd' synthesis (simple (compared to lysergacid) to manufacture, stabel product and strong enough to distribute at blotters). I think i'll firs try the phenetylamin, and a methoxy group instead of the Br would proberly make the product lighter and easyer for the metabolism to degrade.

A VERY useful reference for the synthesis of the molecule below can be found in the journal Huaxue Shiji 15(4), 246-247 (1993). Unfortunately, I have no idea at all where to find that journal, or in what language it is written. Damn CAS Online, I don't want to be reminded of excellent reactions which are located in unreachable journals.

Subject: Re: New Amph. more potent than LSD
Well, the chlorination of the alcohol was not that easye. Boiling it with SOCl2 for 12 h. did nothing. Guess you hawe to use pyridine as well ( they doo that in the article )
But i can't stand the smell, so this was the next idea

[

It works werrye well.
Here is the cookbok

A mixture off 11g(0,1mol) hydroquinone, 16g(0,4mol) NaOH in 80mL wather was mixet with 2,2g(0,001mol) Benzyltriethylammoniumchlorid and 0,52g NaHSO3 in 80mL 1,2dichloroethane. The mixture was refluxet for 12 houers, made acid with HCl(aq). The org layer was sep. from the wather and the 1,2-DCE was removed in wac. The solid mass was then rextalised from ethanol (250mL)
Yeald app. 80%.
Pure on TLC Rf 0,68 1:1 ether:petr.ether
The org. phase is a 'mudy' one, but thats ok.

The ammonium compound is a phase transpher catalyst. almost anny org ammonium salt works, (tetrabutylammoniumbromid and so on) It should also bee posible to doo the reaction without the PTC.
the NaHSO3 makes the hydroquinone more stabel, but is not a must.

Is this procedure from an article, or from SWIM's own experience? I don't get why the hydroquinone only reacts with the dichloroethane, and not with any 2-chloroethoxyphenyl-something forming di/polymers? Is it due to the large excess of DCE? Why the NaHSO3, an antioxidant for the hydroquinone?

      Re: New Amph. more potent than LSD

From swims own experience, but the ide is from the article in synthesis. (they doo it on o-bromo-phenol)
The NaHSO3 is an antioxidant.
And yes, when the sodiumsalt off hydroquinon is transferet to the DCE with help from the ammonium thing, the large excess off DCE make polimer formation unlikley.
The ethanol, afther the xtalisation is a bit brown, so I gues that some polimers is formed.
I will go on with the bromination.
And i'v seen that the aromatisation is posible with NBS (yes). You brominate the hydrofuran and then eliminate HBr in one step due to the energi won by the aromatisation.

also you can boil aqu. HBr with ethylene glycole to get the bromoethanole thus avoiding the use of ethylene oxide. the product should be destillable right during the reaction out of the mixture as azeotropic mixture with water.

After some other projects (hoho not that kindƒº) i'm back. I tried the bromination twice, not with the biggest success, but what the hell. It is the bromination I¡¦m fooling around with.

The story goes like this.
9,2g(67mmol) ZnCl2 was added to a solution of 6,6g(28mmol) of the 1,4-Bis(chloroethoxy)benzene. In 100mL AcOH. After enclosing the bulb in alu.foil 9,4g(58mmol) bromine dissolved in 20mL AcOH was added lower 1h. The reaction was left overnight where precipitate had formed. The reaction was then diluted whit water and sodiumthiosulfate, and then extracted twice with DCM. The DCM was washed with NaOH, dried and evaporated. The product was then rextaliced with 150mL EtOH.
Rf on TLC Ether:P 1:1 0,72 (close to the starting material, but there is a nice separation in the mixed spot)
Yield: 40% (yak yak, to times)
The yield is not great, maybe the ZnCl2 is old, ill se if I can find a new one.

      Another way of inserting the aminopropyl
(Rated as: excellent)

This is from the Nichols lab again. They are still toying around with that super-potent amphetamine which I have no interest in myself. But, what´s really interesting is the way they connected the aromatic ring with the side-chain, Friedel-Craft acylation. This could be a nice way to make more interesting compounds.

JMC 2001, vol 44, No 6, 1003-1010

1,4-Bis(2-chloroethoxy)benzene[1]

Pyridine (29.4ml, 364mmol) was added to a mechanically stirred solution of 1,4-bis(hydroxyethoxy)benzene (30g, 152mmol) in DCM (300ml) at 0 deg C. Next thionyl chloride (25.4ml, 348mmol) was added dropwise such that the internal temperature did not exceed 5 deg C. This mixture was allowed to gradually warm to room temperature and was stirred overnight. Aqueous 2N HCl (500ml) was added slowly and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (3x75ml) and the organic extracts were combined. The pooled organic extracts were then washed with aqueous 2N HCl (2x200ml), water (200ml), 1N NaOH (100ml) and brine (100ml). The organic extracts were then dried(MgSO4) and evaporated to leave an tan solid that was recrysatallized from ethanol to afford white crystals 31.4g (88%), mp. 90-91 deg C.

1,4-Bis(2-chloroethoxy)2,5-dibromobenzene[2]

Zinc chloride (38.2g, 280mmol) was added to a solution of [1] (27.5g, 117mmol) in acetic acid (280ml). After enclosing the apparatus in aluminum foil to exclude light, bromine (39.3g, 246mmol) dissolved in acetic acid was added dropwise to the suspension over 1.5 hours. The reaction was allowed to stir overnight, during which time a precipitate had formed. The reaction was diluted with aqueous saturated sodium thiosulphate (500ml) and extracted with DCM (5x200ml). The organic layers were combined and washed with aqueous 1N NaOH (200ml), brine (100ml), dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated to leave an off-white solid. Recrystallization from EtOH afforded a crystalline white product 50.0g (91%), mp. 120 deg C.

2,3,6,7-Tetrahydrobenzo[1,2-b;4,5-b’]difuran[3]

To a suspension of Mg powder (50 mesh, 3.7g, 152mmol) in anhydrous THF (50ml) was slowly added EtMgBr (3.4ml, 10mmol, 3M solution in Et2O). An anhydrous solution of [2] (20g, 51mmol) in THF (125ml) was then added dropwise such that the internal reaction temperature did not exceed 35 deg C. Upon completion of the addition, the reaction was heated at reflux for 3 hours. The reaction was then cooled to room temperature and carefully poured into cold 1N HCl (200ml). Upon cessation of gas evolution, the mixture was extracted with Et2O (3x300ml). The organic layers were combined and washed with aqueous 1N NaOH (4x75ml), brine (50ml), dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated by rotary evaporation to afford a tan solid. This was recrystallized from EtOH to afford off-white, platelike crystals 6.5g (79%), mp. 155 deg C.

(R)-N-Trifluoroacetylalanine[4]

Triethylamine (3.1ml, 22mmol) was added to a solution of D-alanine (2g, 22mmol) in MeOH (11ml). After 5 minutes, ethyl trifluoroacetate (3.3ml, 28mmol) was added and the reaction was allowed to stir for 24 hours. The solvent was removed by rotary evaporation and the residue that remained was dissolved in water (35ml) and acidified with concentrated HCl (4ml). After stirring for 15 minutes, the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (4x30ml). The combined extracts were washed with brine (25ml), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated by rotary evaporation to leave a clear oil. After being subjected to vacuum for 24 hours, the clear oil solidified into a fluffy hydroscopic solid 2.7g (86%) mp. 69 deg C.

(R)-(+)-N-Trifluoroacetyl-2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-4-alanylbenzo[1,2-b;4,5-b’]difuran[5]

Trifluoroacetamide-protected D-alanine[4] (4.09g, 22mmol) was added to a pretared flask and placed under high-vacuum for 24 hours to remove any moisture. The flask was then reweighed to record the accurate weight of the starting material. Next, DCM (100ml) was added to the flask followed by pyridine (2 drops) and the solution was cooled to 0 deg C. Oxalyl chloride (4.3ml, 49mmol) was then added via syringe and the reaction was allowed to gradually warm to room temperature and stir for 3.5 hours. The solvent and excess oxalyl chloride was removed by rotary evaporation at 35 deg C to afford the acid chloride which was not characterized. The heterocycle [3] (1.1g, 6.6mmol) was dissolved in DCM (35ml) and this solution was slowly added via dropping funnel to a suspension of AlCl3 (2.4g, 18.3mmol) in DCM (50ml). This was followed by slow addition of the acid chloride [13] dissolved in DCM (45ml). The mixture was allowed to stir for 16 hours at which time TLC showed only one yellow spot. The reaction mixture was poured slowly onto ice to quench the reaction and the phases where then separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (4x75ml) and the organic layers were combined and washed with cold aqueous 1N HCl (75ml), water (50ml) and then saturated NaHCO3 (2x50ml). The organic solution was dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated to leave a yellow solid that was recrystallized from MeOH to afford fluffy yellow crystals 1.88g (86%), mp 209-210 deg C

(R)-(+)-N-Trifluoroacetyl-1-(2,3,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo-[1,2-b;4,5-b’]difuran-4-yl)-2-aminopropane[6]

The ketone [5] (0.94g, 2.9mmol) was dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid (9.4ml) and then triethylsilane (2.3ml, 14.5mmol) was added. The mixture was heated at reflux for 6 hours, at which time TLC showed no starting material. The reaction was cooled to room temperature followed by very slow addition of saturated aq. NaHCO3 until evolution of gas had ceased and the solution remained alkaline. The mixture was then extracted with Et2O (4x75ml), the organic layers combined and dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated to leave a tan solid. The product was titurated with hexanes and the resulting suspension was then vacuum filtered to leave a white solid 0.84g, (92%), mp. 139-140 deg C.

(R)-(-)-1-(2,3,6,7-Tetrahydrobenzo[1,2-b;4,5-b’]difuran-4-yl)-2-aminopropane Hydrochloride[7]

The protected amine [6] (0.1g, 0.3mmol) was dissolved in MeOH (20ml) and cooled to 0 deg C. Aqueous 5N NaOH (5ml) was added to this solution and the mixture was allowed to stir overnight and was then diluted with Et2O (50ml). The phases were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with Et2O (3x15ml). The organic layers were combined, dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvent evaporated to leave a tan oil. This oil was taken up in dry Et2O (15ml) and filtered through glass wool. A slight excess of 1N HCl in EtOH was added dropwise to the solution with vigorous stirring. The flask was then placed in a freezer overnight and the precipitate was collected by vacuum filtration. The resulting solid was recrystallized from IPA to afford white flyffy crystals 0.073g (86%), mp275-276 deg C.

Representative aromatization of substituted 2,3,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[1,2-b;4,5-b’]difurans to benzo[1,2-b;4,5-b’]difurans: (R)-(+)-N-Trifluoroacetyl-1-(benzo[1,2-b;4,5-b’]difuran-4-yl)-2-aminopropane[8]

A solution of DDQ (0.42g, 1.85mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (8ml) was slowly added to a solution of protected amine (0.2g, 0.63mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (10ml). The solution was heated at reflux for 24 hours at which time TLC indicated reaction completion. The reaction was then cooled to room temperature and the precipitate formed was removed by vacuum filtration. The filter cake was washed thoroughly with DCM and then the solvents removed by rotary evaporation. The brown oil that remained was subjected to column chromatography (4:1 hexanes-EtOAc as eluent) to afford a white solid product 0.134g, (64%), mp. 150-151 deg C.

User Picture       Measuring the potency of receptor ligands

Zimmermann: In Table 1 they say the K_i of racemic DOB (4b) is 2.2 nM at the 5-HT₂A receptor, while both isomers of 6c (the para-CF₃-substituted fully aromatic benzodifuran) has a K_i of around 0.3 nM. That makes 6c an about 7.5 times more potent ligand than DOB at the 5-HT₂A receptor.

However, in Table 2, (R)-6c is shown to have an EC₅₀ (effective concentration) of 3.8 nM, compared to 72 nM for racemic DOB (4b), a 19-fold increase in actual efficiency.

K_i is a measure of how tight a ligand binds to a receptor, while EC₅₀ is a measure of how effective it is at activating the receptor. I have discussed things similar to this in regards to DAT ligands earlier, see Post 394040 (Rhodium: "Ki binding affinity and recreational potential", Chemistry Discourse)

Maybe related: in how far are Ki(binding) and Ki(uptake) related to the compound getting on and off the receptor, at a nanosecond timescale?

The Ki_(binding) parameter takes that effect into consideration, as it is measured against a known standard, which also displays the same behavior.

The Ki_(uptake) parameter (in the case of DAT ligands) or the EC₅₀ value (in the case of these 5-HT₂A ligands) probably has more to do with the steric/electronic effect the ligand has on the receptor, as in how well the binding of it twists and bends the receptor towards its optimum shape for full activation.

(Rated as: good read)

(R)-(+)-N-Trifluoroacetyl-1-(2,3,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo-[1,2-b;4,5-b’]difuran-4-yl)-2-aminopropane[6]

The ketone [5] (0.94g, 2.9mmol) was dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid (9.4ml) and then triethylsilane (2.3ml, 14.5mmol) was added. The mixture was heated at reflux for 6 hours, at which time TLC showed no starting material. The reaction was cooled to room temperature followed by very slow addition of saturated aq. NaHCO3 until evolution of gas had ceased and the solution remained alkaline. The mixture was then extracted with Et2O (4x75ml), the organic layers combined and dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated to leave a tan solid. The product was titurated with hexanes and the resulting suspension was then vacuum filtered to leave a white solid 0.84g, (92%), mp. 139-140 deg C.

Selectivities in Ionic Reductions of Alcohols and Ketones with Triethyisilane / Trifluoroacetic_Acid
Tetrahedron Lett. 1997, 38, 1013-1016.
DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(96)02484-7

A Et3SiH / TFA reduction of of chiral ketone [5] ((R)-(+)-N-Trifluoroacetyl-2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-4-alanylbenzo[1,2-b;4,5-b’]difuran) was attempted, generally following the procedure of Nichols, but at a significantly larger scale.

Following workup, the yield of the desired aminopropane [6] was found to be ~30% [vs. lit. 92%], along with an approximately equal quantity of uncharacterized (but apparently cleaved) impurity.

The use of trifluoroacetic acid as the solvent may be an issue; it is an aggressive media and the longer the reaction is heated under reflux, the greater the number of decomposition products.

Perhaps acetic acid could be used in place of TFA (but this might not be a strong enough Bronsted acid?)

Or perhaps the reaction could be carried out with TFA, but at lower temperature under strictly anhydrous conditions?

Or possibly is there a reducing agent other than Et3SiH that could be suitable for this step? LiAlH4 would probably cleave the protection group, but what about NaBH4?

I am not sure which methods from https://www.rhodium.ws/chemistry/reductive.alkylation.html are least like the wonderbra (unwanted cleavage) or a 4th spatial dimension (scramble chirality).

Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

      2 questions to venerable hest

I have 2 questions to hest on the first stage of his remarkable simplification of the Nichols procedure: hydroquinone + (CH2Cl)2 + NaOH + PTC.
1. Is mixing necessary or refluxing is enough?
2. Why you add all 4 eq. NaOH in the beginning? It will probably lead to the formation of hydroquinone dianion in the water phase and will reduce its extractability, thus slowing the reaction. May be it will be more convenient to add 1 eq. NaOH in the beginning and drop another 3 eq. during the next couple of hours.

The reason to use a PTC is to have the anion in the organic phase aided by the PTC. Therefore is doesn't make sense to add the base dropwise.

Biphasic reactions have to be heavily stirred, otherwise the reaction rate will drop dramatically.

I know very well what is PTC, but I am sure that TEBA will easily extract the MONO-anion, but not so easily the DI-anion of hydroquinone. My idea is to start with 1 eq NaOH which is enough for the reaction to begin, and then gradually add more base for the second hydroxyl.
And I know that such reaction are usually - but not always - stirred, and I still hope to know: Did hest used mixing? Because my magnetic stirrer is far from being perfect.

Yes I used a MagStirr with a big magnet. Mixin is werye important.
Why tune a 80% reaction _ the starting materials is free. Use your pover on the grignard step.

Thanks! I will use my biggest magnet. I have the intention to mix a 1.5 l mixture, to prepare a suffisant amount of you know what, and use all my power on the cyclization step. I plan to try cyclization in a planetary ball mill with Mg, Zn, Li, Na ... It sounds crazy but "crazy experiments lead to Nobel or to nothing" (Erasmus Darwin).

(Ref. #13 from https://www.rhodium.ws/pdf/nichols/nichols-dragonfly-2.pdf .)

Abstract

   Several N-(trifluoroacetyl)-α-amino acid chlorides have been reacted with PhH, MeOPh, and 1,2-(MeO)₂PhH in the presence of AlCl₃ or SnCl₄ to produce ArCOCH(NHCOCF₃)R in fair to high yields. The (trifluoroacetyl)amino group of the products can be N-methylated with MeI/K₂CO₃ in boiling Me₂CO. Reduction of the ketones with H₂ - Pd/C in EtOH under neutral conditions resulted in alcohols. Hydrogenation in the presence of HCl led to complete deoxygenation. Reductions with Et₃SiH in refluxing CF₃COOH or in BF₃·Et₂O at rt gave alcohols (Ar = Ph) or deoxygenated products (Ar = 4-MeOPh or 3,4-(MeO)₂Ph). The products of reduction can be readily detrifluoroacetylated by mild basic hydrolysis and thence converted to the corresponding 3-substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines by condensation with CH₂O.

Abstract

   Chiral N-(trifluoroacetyl)-α-amino acid chlorides undergo Friedel-Crafts reaction with PhH and 1,2-(MeO)₂PhH under mild conditions commonly with complete (>99%) preservation of configurational identity. The resultant (trifluoroacetyl)amino ketones may be deoxygenated with Et₃SiH or H₂/Pd-C in acidic media to the corresponding N-(trifluoroacetyl)-β-arylalkylamines likewise without loss of configurational purity.
