Three metabolites of diethylpropion (1), (±)-2-ethylamino-1-phenyl-propan-1-one (2), (1R,2S)-(-)-N,N-diethylnorephedrine (3a) and (1S,2R)-(-)-N,N-diethylnorephedrine (3b) were synthesized. Their uptake and release effects with biogenic amine transporters were evaluated. A major finding of this study is that the in vivo activity of diethylpropion on biogenic amine transporters is most likely due to metabolite 2 as diethylpropion (1) and the metabolites 3a and 3b showed little or no effect in the assays studied. These studies also revealed that 2 acted as a substrate at the norepinephrine (IC50=99nM) and serotonin transporters (IC50=2118nM) and an uptake inhibitor at the dopamine transporter (IC50=1014nM). The potent action of 2 at the NE transporter supports the hypothesis that amphetamine-type subjective effects may be mediated in part by brain norepinephrine. Copyright (C) 2000 .

The chiral N,N-dialkylnorephedrine-catalyzed addition of dialkylzincs to aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes afforded secondary alcohols of high optical purity (to > 95percent ee).Among the N,N-di(primary alkyl)norephedrines, N,N-di-n-butylnorephedrine (DBNE, 3d) was found to be the most effective catalyst. 1-Phenyl-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)propan-1-ol (3i) and N,N-diallylnorephedrine (3j) were also highly effective catalysts.The method described provides optically active secondary aliphatic alcohols of high optical purity which cannot be prepared by conventional methods.
