Synthesis of ring-substituted N-benzyl γ-phenyl GABA derivatives via reductive amination.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:GABA derivatives are important for the development of drugs for disorders of the CNS and PNS. RESULTS:We describe a simple synthesis of N-benzyl γ-phenyl-γ-aminobutyric acids, via the reductive amination of the corresponding γ-keto acids with benzylamines using ammonia borane. CONCLUSION:This procedure provides an efficient and economical method for the synthesis of GABA derivatives.
