Chemistry:Butaclamol

From HandWiki

Butaclamol (AY-23,028) is a type of antipsychotic which was never marketed.[1] Sold as the hydrochloride salt for use in research, the compound acts as a dopamine receptor antagonist.[2]

Discussion

pKa = 7.15 (uncorrected for ionic strength)[3]

McN-4171 is an analog of butaclamol.[3][4] McN-4612-Y is also described in the attached article. This is similar to McN 4612-z except it is the opposite optical antipode. It is therefore supposedly an antipsychotic.

Synthesis

The synthesis has been reported:[5][6][7] Patent:[8]

  • The starting material is made by a Favorskii reaction of dibenzosuberone with acetylene followed by a Meyer–Schuster rearrangement to the aldehyde and oxidation to the acid. Another method is Reformatsky reaction with bromoethylacetate and catalytic hydrogenation of the olefin in the ester that follows dehydration.
  • The starting material is called 10,11-Dihydro-5H-dibenzo-[a,d]cycloheptene-5-acetic acid, PC12669091 (1). FGI by any of a number of methods to the isocyanate (NCO) gives (2). Addition of one equivalent of water gives N-formyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo(a,d)cycloheptene-5-methylamine (3). Cyclization gives 1,7,8,12b-tetrahydrobenzo(6,7)cyclohept(1,2,3-de)isoquinoline [7574-72-3] (4). A modified Robinson annulation with methylvinylketone gave PC21397166 (5).
