Certain 5-alkoxy-3-aminophenyl substituted olefinic amine compounds of the present invention such as (E)-N-methyl-5-(5-methoxy-3-aminophenyl)-4-penten-2-amine, can be synthesized by coupling a 3-halo-5-alkoxyaniline such as 3-bromo-5-methoxyaniline or 3-iodo-5-methoxyaniline (protected by a phthaloyl functionality) with an olefin containing a secondary alcohol functionality, 4-penten-2-ol, under Heck reaction conditions. The resulting secondary alcohol intermediate can be converted to its p-toluenesulfonate ester, followed by treatment with methylamine (which also removes the protecting group). Alternatively, certain 5-alkoxy-3-aminophenyl substituted olefinic amine compounds can be synthesized by coupling a 3-halo-5-alkoxyaniline such as 3-bromo-5-methoxyaniline or 3-iodo-5-methoxyaniline (protected by a phthaloyl functionality) with an olefinic side chain compound, such as N-methyl-N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-penten-2-amine, followed by removal of the protecting groups. The required 3-halo-5-alkoxyaniline compounds such as 3-bromo-5-methoxyaniline and 3-iodo-5-methoxyaniline can be prepared using the techniques of T. A. Emokpae et al., J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans 2 (1):14-17 (1977) and B. Liedholm, Acta Chem. Scand., Ser. B 38:877-884(1984). In the former method, 3-bromo-5-methoxyaniline and 3-iodo-5-methoxyaniline can be prepared starting from commercially available 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene. Treatment of the latter compound with refluxing sodium methoxide produces 3,5-dinitroanisole. One of the nitro groups is then reduced to give 3-methoxy-5-nitroaniline. The latter compound can be diazotized and treated with copper(I) bromide to give 1-bromo-3-methoxy-5-nitrobenzene. Reduction with tin and hydrochloric acid gives 3-bromo-5-methoxyaniline. In a similar manner, 3-iodo-5-methoxyaniline can be prepared by diazotizing 3-methoxy-5-nitroaniline to give 1-iodo-3-methoxy-5-nitrobenzene. The latter compound can be reduced with iron filings and hydrochloric acid to give 3-iodo-5-methoxyaniline. Other 3-halo-5-alkoxyanilines such as 3-bromo-5-ethoxyaniline, 3-bromo-5-isopropoxyaniline, and 3-bromo-5-sec-butoxyaniline can be prepared using similar techniques. As such, compounds of the present invention such as (E)-N-methyl-5-(5-ethoxy-3-aminophenyl)-4-penten-2-amine, (E)-N-methyl-5-(5-isopropoxy-3-aminophenyl)-4-penten-2-amine, and (E)-N-methyl-5-(5-sec-butoxy-3-aminophenyl)-4-penten-2-amine can be similarly prepared.
