Synthesis of R- and S-MDMA via nucleophilic ring-opening of homochiral N-tosylaziridines

Australian Journal of Chemistry July 11, 2023 Katie D. Lewis, Glenn A. Pullella, Han Chern Loh et al. 2 citations

Homochiral (R)- and (S)-3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) were prepared in six steps (each) from the chiral pool precursors d- and l-alanine, respectively. The key step, copper-catalysed regioselective ring-opening of an N-tosylaziridine with an aryl Grignard reagent, proceeded in high yield with complete regioselectivity. Elaboration was achieved with preservation of configurational...

Introduction to the chemistry and pharmacology of psychedelic drugs

Australian Journal of Chemistry July 4, 2023 Scott R. Walker, Glenn A. Pullella, Matthew Piggott et al. 5 citations

The science of psychedelics is an intriguing, multi-disciplinary field that has recently been the subject of heightened public interest. This has mainly resulted from publicity associated with a number of high-profile investigations into psychedelic-assisted therapy for a range of difficult-to-treat mental health conditions. With many psychedelic substances known, including natural,...
