Manifaxine (developmental code name GW-320,659) is a

structural modification of radafaxine, an isomer of hydroxybupropion and one of the active metabolites of bupropion.[1] Manifaxine was researched for treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and obesity and was found to be safe, reasonably effective, and well-tolerated for both applications.[2][3] However, no results were reported following these initial trials and development was discontinued.[1]

Synthesis

Synthesis:[4] Patent:[5] See also:[6][7]

The Grignard reaction between 3,5-difluorobenzonitrile [64248-63-1] (1) and ethylmagnesium bromide gives 3,5-difluoropropiophenone [135306-45-5] (2). Halogenation with molecular bromine occurs at the alpha-keto position providing 2-bromo-3',5'-difluoropropiophenone [135306-46-6] (3). Intermolecular ring formation with DL-Alaninol (2-Aminopropanol) [6168-72-5] completed the synthesis of Manifaxine (4).
