Using Boc or Fmoc-protected β-substituted aminoethanesulfonyl chlorides (2-substituted taurylchlorides) the solid-phase synthesis of dipeptidosulfonamides as well as peptidosulfonamide containing peptides derived from Leu-enkephalin is described. The bind

A series of 2-amino-1-phenyl-1-propanols that are structurally related to known metabolites of bupropion,1 (Wellbutrin®) were synthesized and evaluated as potential anticonvulsants. The (R*,R*)-2-tert-butylamino-1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl) propanol 20 had an ED50 of 16.5 ± 2.8 mg/kg ip in mice in the maximal electroshock screen and was chosen for further evaluation.
