Abstract We report here a molecular modeling study of selected conformationally constrained phenylcarbamate local anesthetics in relation to the available pharmacological data that enabled us to develop a receptor-interaction model for this class of drugs. The validity of the model was confirmed on other semirigid analogues prepared for this study. The results suggest that the phenyl ring is most likely involved in a stacking interaction with a complementary receptor site and the tertiary ammonium group is capable of both hydrogen bonding and lipophilic interactions.

Optically active α-methylbenzylamino 2-cyanoacrylic esters were synthesized and assayed as inhibitors of the Hill reaction in isolated pea chloroplast fragments. The 5-isomers were more potent inhibitors than the S-isomers with discriminations of from ten to greater than 100-fold being observed. A β-alkyl substituent in the cyanoacrylate molecule affected both the level of activity and the difference in activity between the isomers. An α,α-dimethylbenzylamino derivative was also active at about the same level as the corresponding α-methylbenzylamino racemate. This result could be explained in terms of the orientation of the phenyl ring in the receptor site. Replacement of the α-methylbenzylamino group by other α-alkyl and α-phenyl substituents had little effect on activity. However, an α-benzyl group was beneficial.

In the title compound, C22H17N3, the dihedral angles between the central benzene ring and the terminal phenyl ring and quinoline ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.027 Å) are 44.72 (7) and 9.02 (4)°, respectively, and the bond-angle sum at the amine N atom is 359.9°. In the crystal, the N—H group is not involved in hydrogen bonding and the molecules are linked by weak C—H...π interactions, generating [010] chains.

The title compound, C10H12O3, crystallizes in the orthorhombicP212121space group. The structure contains a phenolic group with the OH being coplanar with the phenyl ring. The structure exhibits significant hydrogen bonding between the O—H group of one molecule and the CO group of an adjacent one. These O—H...O=C interactions form chains of molecules parallel to thebaxis. No π–π or C—H...π intermolecular interactions are observed.

The title compound, C16H14FNO3, was synthesized via solid phase methods; it exhibits monoclinic (P21) symmetry at room temperature. The two independent molecules that comprise the asymmetric unit display distinct torsion angles of 173.2 (2) and 72.6 (2)° along the central sp 3 C—N bond. In the crystal, hydrogen bonding through N—H...O contacts couples the asymmetric unit molecules into pairs that align in layers extending parallel to (100) via additional O—H...O interactions. The phenyl ring of one independent molecule was found to be disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.55 (3):0.45 (3) ratio.

The title compound [systematic name: 2-(N-hydroxyimino)-1,2-diphenylethanol], C14H13NO2, consists of hydroxy phenylacetophenone and oxime units, in which the phenyl rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 80.54 (7)°. In the crystal, intermolecular O—HOxm...NOxm, O—HHydr...OHydr, O—H′Hydr...OHydr and O—HOxm...OHydr hydrogen bonds link the molecules into infinite chains along the c-axis direction. π–π contacts between inversion-related of the phenyl ring adjacent to the oxime group have a centroid–centroid separation of 3.904 (3) Å and a weak C—H...π(ring) interaction is also observed. A Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H...H (58.4%) and H...C/C...H (26.4%) contacts. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals contacts are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing.

Since the nucleophilic opening of isobutylene oxide competes with the formation of polyethers, the 2,2-dimethyl-1,4-dioxabutane moiety constitutes the most important cost driver in the synthesis of linear musks. Therefore, musk motifs devoid of this structural element would be highly attractive. Based on molecular modeling considerations, 5-methyl-substituted (3E)-configured alk-3-enoic esters accessible by deconjugative Knoevenagel reaction with malonic acid in the presence of piperidinium acetate with citronellal and Florhydral as substrates, were synthesized but showed disappointing olfactory properties, as did inverted ester motifs or dimethyl carbinols. Moving closer to carba-Serenolide structures, isobutyronitrile was added to m-isopropenylcumene. DIBAL-H with subsequent alanate reduction provided 4-(3-isopropylphenyl)-2,2-dimethylpentan-1-ol, which was either directly esterified, or esterified after Birch reduction and full hydrogenation. While these target structures were all odorless, (2E)-4-(3,3-dimethylcyclohexyl)pent-2-en-1-yl cyclopropanecarboxylate turned out to be a decent musk odorant (4.1 ng/L air). This proved the concept of an (E)-configured double bond in the middle of anticipated horseshoe-shaped conformers, but casted doubt on the non-importance of the ether oxygens in Helvetolide and Serenolide. Therefore, carba-Helvetolide and carba-Serenolide were synthesized from 3,3-dimethylcyclohexanone, and indeed turned out to be completely odorless. So polar interactions play a crucial role in the receptor interaction of these linear musks beyond merely favoring horseshoe-shaped conformers.

The intramolecular cyclization of a C-3-tetrasubstituted furanoid sugar amino acid-derived linear tetrapeptide afforded an oxazolone pseudo-peptide with the formation of an oxazole ring at the C-terminus. A conformational study of the oxazolone pseudo-peptide showed intramolecular C=O···HN(II) hydrogen bonding in a seven-membered ring leading to a γ-turn conformation. This fact was supported by a solution-state NMR and molecular modeling studies. The oxazolone pseudotetrapeptide was found to be a better Cl−-selective transporter for which an anion–anion antiport mechanism was established.
