(S)-(-)-5-Ethynyl-3-(1-methyl-2-pyrroli-dinyl) pyridine Maleate (SIB-1508Y): A Novel Anti-Parkinsonian Agent with Selectivity for Neuronal Nicotinic Acetylcholine …
rolidinone anion followed by decarboxylation and ring closure of the intermediate gave the imine 4. Reduction (NaBH4) and N-methylation under Eschweiler-Clarke conditions13 afforded 5. 14a Palladium-catalyzed crosscoupling15 of 5 with 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol provided the 5-alkynyl derivative 6 which underwent base-catalyzed deprotection16 to give 2. 14b Conversion of 2 to 7 was achieved by hydrogenation (H2, Pd-C). 14b In order to ...
