Safety of (3aR,4S,7R,7aS)-rel-Hexahydro-4,7-methanoisobenzofuran-1,3-dione《Succinimide derivatives. II. Synthesis and antipsychotic activity of N-[4-[4-(1,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)-1-piperazinyl]butyl]-1,2-cis-cyclohexanedicarboximide (SM-9018) and related compounds》 was published in 1995. The authors were Ishizumi, Kikuo;Kojima, Atsuyuki;Antoku, Fujio;Saji, Ikutaro;Yoshigi, Mayumi, and the article was included in《Chemical & Pharmaceutical Bulletin》. The author mentioned the following in the article:
Cyclic imides bearing ω-(4-benzisothiazol-3-yl-1-piperazinyl)alkyl moieties were synthesized and tested for antipsychotic activity. The in vitro binding affinities of these compounds were examined for dopamine 2 (D2) and serotonin 2 (5-HT2) receptor sites. Structure-activity relationships within these series are discussed. One of these compounds, namely, SM-9018 (I), was found to be more potent and more selective in vivo than tiospirone in its antipsychotic activity. To complete the study, the researchers used (3aR,4S,7R,7aS)-rel-Hexahydro-4,7-methanoisobenzofuran-1,3-dione (cas: 14166-28-0) .
In the laboratory, (3aR,4S,7R,7aS)-rel-Hexahydro-4,7-methanoisobenzofuran-1,3-dione(14166-28-0) is a popular solvent when its water miscibility is not an issue. It is more basic than diethyl ether and forms stronger complexes with Li+, Mg2+, and boranes.Safety of (3aR,4S,7R,7aS)-rel-Hexahydro-4,7-methanoisobenzofuran-1,3-dione It is a popular solvent for hydroboration reactions and for organometallic compounds such as organolithium and Grignard reagents.
