The structure determination of the title compound, CI2HlsNO~.CsHTO3-, has allowed the absolute configuration of the cation to be established. The demethylated base, (S)-5,6-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-naphthalena-mine, or (2S)-5,6-ADTN, is responsible for the dopaminergic activity; this work shows that it has the same spatial arrangement as (6aR)-apomorphine.

The synthesis of 2,5‐bis(3‐bromo‐5‐isoxazolyl)tetrahydrofuran (2) and 2,5‐bis(3‐methoxy‐5‐isoxazolyl)tetrahydrofuran (3) have been accomplished in three and four steps respectively. Cis‐ and trans‐isomers have been separated and fully characterized. Differently from synthetic schemes so far utilized for the preparation of the 2,5‐diheteroaryltetrahydrofuran analogs, our approach involves the direct synthesis of a key intermediate containing both isoxazole rings and diol function for the final cyclization. Starting from succinic aldehyde, the new 1,7‐octadiyne‐3,6‐diol (4) was prepared and was submitted to a double cycloaddition with bromonitrile oxide to yield the key intermediate 1,4‐bis(3‐bromo‐5‐isoxazolyl)‐1,4‐butanediol. The methoxy analogs 3 were obtained by methanolysis of the bromo derivatives 2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
