Abstract

An efficient synthesis of 2,5-dihydrobenzoxepine analogues was developed without using protecting groups. Regioselective allylation was optimized through a recent method utilizing magnesium dicarboxylates. Grubbs catalysts were applied to investigate ring-closing metathesis. The scope of the present route was extended to produce four analogues, which provided novel cannabinoid-like 2,5-dihydrobenzoxepines in sufficient quantities to permit in vitro assays on recombinant CB1/CB2 receptors. In vitro assays related to CB1/CB2 receptors did not indicate any activity.

Key words

2,5-dihydrobenzoxepine - radulanin A - benzoxepin cannabinoids - regioselective allylation - ring-closing metathesis
