In the present work, a series of structurally novel benzocyclobutene derivatives were identified as general anesthetics through the loss of righting reflex (LORR) experiment on mice. Our initial efforts found compound 1a with a fused four-membered ring on the 2,3-position of the phenol ring could significantly improve the safety profile. Further SAR study revealed that small hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) groups are optimal for good ED50 along with much broader therapeutic windows, such as compounds 16b and 17. Present work demonstrates the superiority of this novel benzocyclobutene scaffold.

Various synthetic routes to 2-isopropyl-4-methoxyphenol 3, the phenol core of Gefapixant citrate (MK-7264), are described, which provide better alternatives to the initial four-step supply route. These new routes include a coumarin fragmentation approach in flow, a rhenium-catalyzed isopropylation of mequinol, and a bromination/methoxylation of 2-isopropylphenol. After exploring several approaches, a robust two-step process for the preparation of 3 from the commodity starting material 2-isopropylphenol was developed. The optimized route employs a highly regioselective bromination. After isolating the bromophenol DABCO cocrystal, a copper-catalyzed methoxylation delivers 3 in high yield. This route is successfully demonstrated at the plant scale with low process mass intensity and cost.
