G. Johansson et al., STEREOISOMERS OF 3-(2,3-DIHYDROBENZOFURAN-2-YL)QUINUCLIDINE - PREPARATION AND MUSCARINIC RECEPTOR AFFINITIES, Chirality, 10(9), 1998, pp. 813-820
The four stereoisomers of the antimuscarinic 3-(2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-
2-yl) quinuclidine have been prepared by a method involving chromatogr
aphic separation of the racemic diastereoisomers as borane complexes.
The relative and absolute configurations of the stereoisomers were det
ermined by X-ray crystallographic methods. The crystal structure of (2
'R,3R)-3-(2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-2-yl) quinuclidine . HCl . H2O contain
s two independent molecules with different conformations of both the q
uinuclidine moiety and the dihydrofuran ring. (C) 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc
