Abstract
Our ring switching strategy for synthesis of compounds with structural features consistent with activity at glutamate receptors has been mod ified to prepare L-alanine derivatives substituted at the beta-carbon atom with six-membered heteroaromatic rings. The pyrimidinone (11, R = R(1) = R(2) = H) has been shown to be a glutamate agonist and the com pound (13) to be an antagonist.
