`
`Introduction.
`The potential
`
`list of heteroaromatic candidates to replace the
`
`phenyl group
`
`in. a-acetamino-N-benzylphenylacetamide
`
`(.2fil2) is large.
`
`In an effort to
`
`limit our initial choice of drug candidates, heterocy(cid:173)
`
`cles containing only a single heteroatom were selected (Tables ~
`
`and
`
`fill.).
`
`The
`
`first series of compounds (Table .:22) chosen consis-
`
`ted of
`
`the simple monocyclic adducts of
`
`furan (filla), pyrrole (fill_Q),
`
`and
`
`thiophene (fill.c., filW).
`
`The second set of compounds (Table
`
`fill) comprised
`
`the corresponding
`
`benzoanalogues ~ - filth.
`
`In
`
`both sets, no effort was made
`
`to control
`
`the site of substitution
`
`on
`
`the heterocycle.
`
`Of
`
`these seven heterocyclic compounds,
`
`two
`
`of
`
`the adducts ~. filW) were
`
`independently prepared
`
`in
`
`this
`
`laboratory.104
`
`We
`
`have also
`
`Included
`
`in both
`
`lists
`
`the
`
`corresponding parent aromatic compounds 2fill.68,103 and ~104.
`
`These compounds serve as suitable
`
`reference substrates
`
`for
`
`the
`
`remaining adducts.
`
`Several
`
`factors contributed to our selection of
`
`these lune-
`
`tionalized amino acid derivatives.
`
`First,
`
`furan CZQ2),
`
`thiophene (11)
`
`and
`
`indole <Z2.) have been previously substituted

`
`The

`
`Second, many heterocycles possessing side chains
`
`of varying
`
`length and polarities
`
`have been
`
`reported
`
`to
`
`be active
`
`in
`
`anticonvulsant animal screens.5

`
`Synthesis.
`Surprisingly, only a
`
`few ex-amino acids having a heterocycle
`
`directly bonded
`
`to
`
`the a-carbon have been reported.
`
`These
`
`in-
`
`clude
`
`the 3-indolyl (ng), the 2-CQJ.2) and 3-~) thienyl,
`
`the 2-furyl
`
`(l;k!) and
`
`Of
`
`these, only
`
`the 2-benzo[b]thienyl (7~ glycine derivatives (Table 6).
`the thienyl compounds l3Q and Tu are commer(cid:173)
`
`cially available.108
`
`In our study, we chose
`
`to prepare
`
`the racemic amino acid
`
`derivatives
`
`rather
`
`than
`
`the
`
`individual
`
`enantiomers so as
`
`to
`
`provide a meaningful comparison with previous
`
`results obtained
`
`in
`
`this
`
`laboratory68, 102.
`
`We anticipated
`
`that
`
`the use of amidoalkyla(cid:173)
`
`tion procedures employing
`
`the parent heterocycle and an appropri(cid:173)
`
`ate amino acid derivative would provide a convenient route
`
`to
`
`the
`
`desired
`
`functionalized amino acid
`
`racemates.
`
`Several
`
`factors
`
`supported
`
`our selection of
`
`this general methodology. First, this
`
`general
`
`technique has been widely utilized
`
`for
`
`the alkylation of
`
`nucleophiles.114-118

`
`49
`
`synthesized by
`
`this procedure. In
`
`these cases,
`
`the amidoalkyla(cid:173)
`
`ting species was usually a glycine derivative bearing a
`
`leaving
`
`group at
`
`the o.-position.
`
`Table 7 lists various examples of
`
`this
`
`reaction. Third, previous examples of amidoalkylation
`
`transforma-
`
`tions
`
`employing heteroaromatic substrates
`
`have been
`
`reported ..
`
`Representative
`
`reactions are
`
`listed
`
`in Tables 8 - 12 for
`
`furan (ZQ.a),
`
`pyrrole CZ4),
`
`indole (l2}, thiophene (Z1) and various other heteroar-
`
`omatic substrates, respectively.
`
`In all
`
`these
`
`reactions, alkylation
`
`on
`
`the heterocycle occurs preferentially at
`
`the most electron
`
`rich
`
`site.
`
`Significantly, only
`
`in
`
`the cases of
`
`furans and
`
`thiophenes
`
`were the parent heterocycles
`
`frequently employed. Amidoalkylation
`
`reactions involving benzofurans (Le. ni.) and benzo[b]thiophenes (i.e.
`
`ZQ_) have not been reported.
`
`The desired compounds 69 a,b.f-h were synthesized by two
`
`general
`
`routes both utilizing an amidoalkylation step.
`
`The yields
`
`were not optimized.
`
`In method A
`
`(Scheme 1 },
`
`the
`
`initial
`
`targets were
`
`the
`
`2-substituted-2-acetamidoacetic acids ~. It was anticipated
`
`that
`
`these compounds would readily undergo condensation with benzyla(cid:173)
`
`mine (.!lli) using
`
`the mixed anhydride coupling method144, 145
`
`to
`
`yield
`
`the desired products fill..
`
`Our projected synthesis of . ~
`
`was patterned after
`
`the procedure described by Chouteeten and
`
`co-workers 12\

`in 14 % yield.
`
`The corresponding
`
`reactions using benzofuran (Zfil, pyrrole (Z1) and
`
`indole (Z2.) gave
`
`intractable mixtures of polymeric materials. Substitu(cid:173)
`
`tion of other acids (i.e., sulfuric acid, methanesullonic acid) for
`
`phosphoric ·acid also proved unsuccessful.
`
`Fortunately. use of a
`
`1 :1 mixture of methanesulfonic acid and acetic acid permitted . the
`
`synthesis of the benzofuran derivative a2J;t in modest yield (20%). The
`
`difficulty
`
`encountered
`
`in
`
`these
`
`transformations
`
`prompted our
`
`inspection of
`
`the procedure employed by Ben-lshai, Sataty and
`
`Bernstein 127
`
`for
`
`the synthesis of
`
`the
`

`
`Application of this method required
`the
`initial conversion of 2-acet(cid:173)
`amido-2-hydroxyacetic acid am to the corresponding alkyl 2-acetamido-
`2-alkoxyacetates filLa and 12 (Table 13). This was readily accomplished
`in moderate yields by
`treatment of
`the appropriate alcoholic solution

`
`Second,

`
`to

`that

`
`in other electrophilic aromatic substitution

`
`Accordingly, a 1 :3.4
`

`
`for
`
`the alkylation
`
`of pyrrole (Z.1) at
`
`the 3- and 2-positions,

`2. Spectral Evaluation.
`
`a.
`
`Infrared Spectra.
`
`Characteristic absorption bands were observed in the infrared
`"
`the alkyl 2-acetamido-2-alkoxyacetates llil.
`spectra
`for
`the alkyl
`2-substituted-2-acetamidoacetates fil, the corresponding acids .a2. and
`the functionalized amino acid derivatives .29. and 1IB. and are
`
`listed in
`
`Tables 19 - 22, respectively.
`
`In particular,
`
`the absorption bands
`
`for
`
`the secondary amide groups were
`
`readily distinguished
`
`in all these
`
`compounds.
`
`This group
`
`typically shows
`
`three absorption bands
`
`corresponding
`
`to
`
`the NH
`
`stretching mode (3320 - 3270 cm·1 ), a
`
`carbonyl stretching mode
`
`(amide I band, 1680 - 1630 cm·1). and a
`
`NH bending mode
`
`( amide I I band, 1570 - 1515 cm-1)_152 These
`
`and 1500 - 1535 cm·1-,
`
`respectively,
`
`absorption bands were observed between 3200 - 3290, 1610 - 1655,
`in N-benzylamides .29. and JIB.
`In acids .az. the NH and .
`and esters .fill. and fil (Tables 19, 20, 22).
`from
`these values and
`
`CO stretching modes were slightly shifted
`
`were detected between 3305- 3340 and 1585 - 1590 cm·1 , respec(cid:173)
`
`tively (Table 21 ).
`
`A consistent set of absorption bands
`
`in
`
`the
`
`infrared
`
`spectra for
`
`the phenyl group of
`
`the 2-substituted-2-acetamido-N-ben(cid:173)
`
`zylacetamides fill. and JIB. were observed. The CC stretching mode
`
`of
`
`the phenyl group appeared
`
`between 1610 - 1630 cm-1 and
`
`always overlapped
`
`the carbonyl stretching absorption.
`
`The
`
`in-plane
`
`bending mode
`
`for
`
`the phenyl group was observed between 1095 -
`
`1090 cm-1, while

`the most characteristic out-of-plane bending modes
