This paper describes the synthesis of 3-amino-3-(4-chlorophenyl)propanoic acid and the corresponding phosphonic and sulfonic acids, lower homologues of baclofen, phaclofen and saclofen respectively. The chlorinated acids were all weak specific antagonists of GABA at the GABAB receptor, with the sulfonic acid (pA2 4·0) being stronger than the phosphonic acid (pA2 3·8) and carboxylic acid (pA2 3·5).

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.

The diastereoselective addition of dimethyl 3-oxo-1,3-hydroisobenzofuran-1-ylphosphonate to nitrostyrene and p- chloronitrostyrene is reported, as is the subsequent conversion of the Michael adducts into 1-[2-amino-1-phenylethyl]-3-oxo-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-1-ylphosphonic acid, and 1-[2-amino-1-(4-chlorophenyl)ethyl]-3-oxo-1,3 dihydroisobenzofuran-1-ylphosphonic acid respectively.

Saclofen, 3-amino-2-(4chlorophenyl) propanesulfonic acid (3), has been synthesized by two routes. Attempts to hydrogenolyse or dehydrate the 2-hydroxy derivative were unsuccessful, however. Radical sulfonation of 3-amino-1-bromo-2-(4-chlorophenyl) propene gave 3-amino-2- (4-chlorophenyl)propene-1-sulfonic acid (6) which was readily reduced to (3). Alternatively, 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-phthalimidopropene underwent radical addition of thioacetic acid, and oxidation of the product to the sulfonyl chloride and hydrolysis gave (3). The corresponding sulfonamide (4) was also prepared. The acid (3) is a powerful specific antagonist of GABA at the GABAB receptor, while (4) and (6) are only weak antagonists.
