Lomevactone(INN;developmental code nameDR-250) is adrugdescribed as apsychostimulantandantidepressantwhich wassynthesizedand assayed in the 1980s, but was never marketed.[1][2]
Stereoisomers
[edit]There are eight possiblestereoisomersof lomevactone. It is the (3R,4R,6R)-form that has the psychotherapeutic properties.[3][4]
(3R,4R,6R)-Lomevactone
Synthesis
[edit]The conjugate 1,4-alkylation reaction between 4-chlorobenzylideneacetone (1) andphenylacetonitrile(2) gives 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-oxo-2-phenylhexanenitrile (3). The selective reduction of the keto group to the alcohol withsodium borohydridegives 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-hydroxy-2-phenylhexanenitrile (4). Hydrolysis of the nitrile to an acid gives 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-hydroxy-2-phenylhexanoic acid. This is followed by lactone formation completing the synthesis of lomevactone (5).
