Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) • Involved in the neuronal development in the Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System. • Nerve Growth Factor is implicated in Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, stroke and pain. • Production is stimulated in patients suffering from Arthritis pain. • Inhibition of NGF causes reduction in pain levels.

DoM Chemistry of Naphthalene-bis-Diethylamides. First Results 50% • Amide steric interactions provides • high rotational barriers • Amides are positioned parallel to each • other and perpendicular to the aromatic ring. Jones, C; Snieckus, V.; Ross, G. unpublished results 2003
DoM Chemistry of Naphthalene 1,8-bis-Diethylamide Generalization • Br2 derivative achieved by Ipsodesilaytion reaction on the bis TMS derivative.
Mono or Di Deprotonation of Naphthalenebis-Diethylamide.What pathway does the deprotonation follow?? • Determined by CD3OD Quench Experiments
Mono vs Bis Incorporation of Deuterium Monitored by EI+ MS over Time M+ Peak at 326 M+ Peak at 328 Time 0 10 Min 20 Min 30 Min • M+ Peak increases to 328 after addition of SecBuLi and quench with CD3OD • Time does not increase or decrease the 328 peak 1 Hr 6 Hr
What Role Does the Equivalents of Base Have on formation of Mono or Bis? M+ Peak at 328 M+ Peak at 326 2.2 Eqv 1.1 Eqv 3.3 Eqv 4.4 Eqv Starting Material • Number equivalents of s-BuLi do not have an effect on the formation of Mono vs Bis Deuterated product.
Bromo Ipsodesilaytion of Naphthalene-1,8-dicarboxylic acid bis-diethylamide General Ipso-substitution Reaction • Synthesize unconventional substitution patterns. • Alternative short route with improved yield. • Regioselective,clean reaction with mild conditions. 78% Colvin, E.W.
