The palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of arylboronic acids with ethyl glyoxylate provides a straightforward method for the synthesis of mandelic esters. Pd2(dba)3·CHCl3 in combination with 2-di-tert-butylphosphanylbiphenyl as the catalytic system and Cs 2CO3 as the base were used. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functionalized boronic acids. Mandelic esters were isolated in good-to-excellent yields with a variety of neutral, slightly electron-rich, and slightly electron-poor substituents. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2008.

A series of 1-aryl-3-azabicyclohexanes was synthesized by hydride reduction of 1-arylcyclopropanedicarboximides.Hydroxyphenyl analogues 20, 22, and 24 were prepared by EtSNa-DMF ether cleavage of the corresponding methoxyphenyl analogues 2m, 2n, and 23, respectively, with the secondary amines 20 and 22 going through the N-formyl intermediates 19 and 21.The p-ethoxy analogue 26 was obtained by O-ethylation of 19, followed by base hydrolysis of the amide 25.The greatest analgesic potency in mouse writhing and rat paw-pain assays was observed for para-substituted compounds.Bicifadine, 1-(4-methylphenyl)-3-azabicyclohexane (2b), was the most potent member of the series and is presently undergoing clinical trials in man.Analgesic activity of 2b is limited to the (+) enantiomer 2v, which has the 1R,5S absolute configuration as determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis.The N-methyl analogue (27d) of 2b showed significant analgesic potency, whereas the N-allyl (27a), N-(cyclopropylmethyl) (27b), and N-(n-hexyl) (27c) analogues were inactive.Bicifadine (2b) showed a nonnarcotic profile different from analogous azabicycloalkane and 3-phenylpyrrolidine analgesics.
