3-Amino-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxypropanesulfonic acid (2-hydroxysaclofen), and its 2- phenyl analogue have been synthesized by three methods. Two involve the oxygen- catalysed free radical addition of bisulfite to the corresponding 3-aminopropene or 3-phthalimidopropene, and the third involves the sulfite opening of the epoxide of the phthalimidopropene. 2-Hydroxysaclofen is a potent antagonist of GABA and baclofen at the GABAB receptor site.

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.

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.
