Abstract

Treatment of (Image )-(η6-Image ,Image -dimethylamphetamine)Cr(CO)3, with Image -butyllithium below -40°C gives a stable benzylic carbanion Image loss of the Image -Image -benzylic proton. Warming of this anion above -40°C gives (η6-Image -β-methylstyrene)Cr(CO)3 Image an ElcB type elimination whilst trapping with an electrophile below -40°C gives benzylically functionalised amphetamines with overall retention of configuration.

The use of oxodiperoxymolybdenum(pyridine)hexamethylphosphoramide as the electrophile gives optically pure (Image ,Image )-Image -methylpseudoephedrine after decomplexation.

N-methylpseudoephedrineis a sympathomimetic agent, structurally similar to ephedrine, used to relieve nasal and sinus congestion and reduce air-travel-related otalgia in adults.

The salts pseudoephedrine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine sulfate are found in many over-the-counter preparations either as single-ingredient preparations, or more commonly in combination with antihistamines and/or paracetamol/ibuprofen.

Unlike antihistamines, which modify the systemic histamine-mediated allergic response, pseudoephedrine only serves to relieve nasal congestion commonly associated with colds or allergies.

The advantage of oral pseudoephedrine over topical nasal preparations, such as oxymetazoline, is that it does not cause rebound congestion.

N-methylpseudoephedrineis acts directly on both alpha- and, to a lesser degree, beta-adrenergic receptors.

Through direct action on alpha-adrenergic receptors in the mucosa of the respiratory tract, pseudoephedrine produces vasoconstriction. Pseudoephedrine relaxes bronchial smooth muscle by stimulating beta2-adrenergic receptors.

Like ephedrine, pseudoephedrine releasing norepinephrine from its storage sites, an indirect effect.
