Lithium trialkylborohydrides were found to effect rapid monodealkylation of phosphonic diesters, and this reaction was applied to the synthesis of alkylphosphonic acid 2-aminoethyl esters [H(2)N(CH(2))(2)OP(OH)R, 4], a little-explored class of analogs of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Compound 4a (R=Me) proved to be a potent antagonist at human rho1 GABA(C) receptors (expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes), with an IC(50) of 11.1 microM, but is inactive at alpha(1)beta(2)gamma(2) GABA(A) receptors.
