title: Preparation and properties of (R)-(-)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl- (R)-(+)-alpha-hydroxy-alpha-(4-[125I]iodophenyl)-alpha-phenyl acetate and (R)-(-)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl-(S)-(-)-alpha-hydroxy-alpha- (4-[125I]iodophenyl)-alpha-phenyl acetate as potential radiopharmaceuticals.
abstract: rac-4-Nitrobenzilic acid was synthesized and resolved with quinidine and quinine to give the corresponding (R)- and (S)-salts. The resolved diastereomeric salts were converted to (R)- and (S)-4-nitrobenzilic acids and subsequent esterification gave their corresponding ethyl esters. Transesterification with (R)-(-)-3-quinuclidinol afforded (R)-(-)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl-(R)-(+)-alpha-hydroxy-alpha- (4-nitrophenyl)-alpha-phenyl acetate and (R)-(-)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl-(S)-(-)-alpha-hydroxy- alpha-(4-nitrophenyl)-alpha-phenyl acetate. After hydrogenation, the (R,R)- and (R,S)-amines were converted to the respective triazene derivatives. The triazene derivatives reacted with sodium [125I]iodide to give (R)-(-)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl-(R)-(+)- alpha-hydroxy-alpha-(4-[125I]iodophenyl)-alpha-phenyl acetate and (R)-(-)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl-(S)-(-)-alpha-hydroxy- alpha-(4-[125I]iodophenyl)-alpha-phenyl acetate. The evaluation of their affinities to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (MAcChR) shows that (R)-(-)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl-(S)-(-)-alpha-hydroxy-alpha-(4- [125I]iodophenyl)-alpha-phenyl acetate exhibits an affinity for the MAcChR from corpus striatum that is approximately threefold lower than that of (R)-(-)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl-(R)-(+)-alpha-hydroxy-alpha-(4- [125I]iodophenyl)-alpha-phenyl acetate.
