An Alternative Synthesis of the NMDA Antagonist CGS 19755 via Free Radical Carbamoylation of Ethyl Isonicotinate.
1995
: The NMDA antagonist CGS 19755 (cis-4-phosphonomethyl-2-piperidinecarboxylic acid) has been prepared by applying Minisci reaction conditions [formamide, hydrogen peroxide, iron(II) sulfate] to ethyl isonicotinate, reduction of the ester with sodium borohydride, alcoholysis of the 2-carboxamide, formation of 4-(diethylphosphonomethyl)-2-pyridinecarboxylate, hydrogenation of the pyridine nucleus, and acid hydrolysis. The overall, unoptimized yield was around 11%. The procedure employs cheap starting materials, is practical and avoids the use of toxic and hazardous cyanotrimethylsilane which is used in the published procedure.
