Possible analogues of baclofen, 3-aminomethyl-5-chloro-, 3-aminomethyl-6-chloro- and 3-aminomethyl-5,6-dichloro-isobenzofuran-1(3H)-one, have been prepared for evaluation as antispasticity agents. The corresponding 3-hydroxyisobenzofuran-l(3H)-one was reacted with ethyl acetoacetate under acidic conditions, and the keto ester hydrolysed and decarboxylated to give the 3-(2-oxopropyl)isobenzofuran-l(3H)-one; this was treated with hydrazoic acid, and the product was hydrolysed. A parallel series of (3-oxo-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-1-y1)glycines was obtained by treating the keto ester first with hydrazoic acid, and hydrolysis of the resulting acetamides.

3-Amino-N-aryl-2-hydroxypropane-1-sulfonamides were synthesized by the reaction of the corresponding epoxy sulfonamide with sodium azide, followed by reduction to the corresponding amine. The synthesis of 3-nitropropan-1-amine and two 2-thienyl derivatives is also reported. 3-Amino-2-hydroxy-N-(4-nitrophenyl)propane-1-sulfonamide and 3-nitropropan-1-amine were found to be specific antagonists of GABA at the GABAB receptor. Substitution of the amino group by alkyl or aryl groups reduced the activity.

In an attempt to obtain new compounds with binding activity at the GABAB receptor site, we report the synthesis of 3-amino-2-arylpropanoic acids, and the sulfonic, phosphonic and hydroxamic acid analogues. In addition, we report the synthesis of the isomer of phaclofen, 3-amino-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-propylphosphonic acid, and the higher homologue of baclofen, 5-amino-2-(4-chlorophenyl)pentanoic acid.

Michael addition of methyl 3-oxo-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-1-carboxylate to nitrostyrenes is catalysed by amine bases. In non-polar solvents, the use of both enantiomers of ψ-ephedrine as base (0.1 equiv.) leads to both enantiomers , respectively, of a single diastereoisomer. When the reaction mixture is heated, the reaction is neither diastereoselective nor enantioselective. The products have been converted into the potential GABAB analogue 1-[2-amino-1-(4-chlorophenyl )ethyl]-3-oxo-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-1-carboxylic acid.
