Study on Organocatalytic Asymmetric Michael Addition in Aqueous Media by a Hydrogen-Bonding Catalyst and Application for Inhibitors of GABAB Receptor | Chapter 3 | Challenges and Advances in Chemical Science Vol. 7

 

Catalysts based on (R, R)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine are chiral organic catalysts that can be used to perform asymmetric Michael additions to,-unsaturated nitroalkenes under neutral circumstances. Depending on the reaction conditions, the role of an aqueous medium for organic catalytic activity can be inverted in terms of hydrophilic-hydrophobic function. In this study, a thiourea-based catalyst replaced with 3,5-(CF3)2-Ph was employed in aqueous solvents to offer an environmentally acceptable system. The substituent's hydrophobic effect allows for a quick reaction, excellent chemical yield, and mirror-image selectivity. This process allowed for the optically pure synthesis of GABAB agonists. GABA (-aminobutyric acid) analogues like baclofen and phenibut were also produced as R-type S-type compounds with great optical purity. R-baclofen caused more intracellular Ca2+ release than RS-baclofen, according to our findings. Our findings suggest that baclofen RS-type may cause variable calcium release activity based on R and S-types when used as a medication. As a result, variable GABAB receptor activation will occur.
