Abstract: | As part of the structure‐activity relationship of the dopamine D2 and serotonin 5‐HT3 receptors antagonist 1, which is a clinical candidate with a broad antiemetic activity, the synthesis and dopamine D2 and serotonin 5‐HT3 receptors binding affinity of (R)‐5‐bromo‐N‐(1‐ethyl‐3‐methylhexahydro‐1,3‐diazin‐5‐yl)‐ and (R)‐5‐bromo‐N‐(1‐ethyl‐5‐methyloctahydro‐1,5‐diazocin‐3‐yl)‐2‐methoxy‐6‐methylaminopyridine‐3‐carboxam‐ides ( 2 and 3 ) are described. Treatment of 1‐ethyl‐2‐(p‐toluenesulfonyl)amino‐3‐methylaminopropane dihy‐drochloride ( 4a ) with paraformaldehyde and successive deprotection gave the 5‐aminohexahydro‐1,3‐diazine 6 in excellent yield. 3‐Amino‐1‐ethyl‐5‐methyloctahydro‐1,5‐diazocine ( 15 ) was prepared from 2‐(benzyloxycarbonyl)amino‐3‐N‐(tert‐butoxycarbonyl)‐N‐methyl]amino]‐1‐ethylaminopropane ( 9 ) through the intramolecular amidation of (R)‐3‐N‐(2‐benzyloxycarbonylamino‐3‐methylamino)propyl]‐N‐ethyl]aminopropionic acid trifluoroacetate ( 12 ), followed by lithium aluminum hydride reduction of the resulting 6‐oxo‐1‐ethyl‐5‐methyloctahydrodiazocine ( 13 ) in 41% yield. Reaction of the amines 6 and 15 with 5‐bromo‐2‐methoxy‐6‐methylaminopyridine‐3‐carboxylic acid furnished the desired 2 and 3 , which showed much less potent affinity for dopamine D2 receptors than 1 . |
