The enhanced photolabeling properties of chlorinated phenyl azides are demonstrated by the synthesis and photolysis of methyl 4-azido-2,3,5,6-tetrachlorobenmate (3)and methyl 4-azido-3,5-dichlorobenzoate (4). Photolysis of azide 3 in 1M diethylamine/cyclohexaneas the trapping medium gave 34% NHinsertion product. Similar photolysis of azide 4 gave 35% NH insertion product. These results demonstrate that chlorinated phenyl azides are significantly better at undergoing NH insertion than nonhalogenated analogs and suggest that improvement of existing aryl azide-based photolabels might be achieved by introduction of chlorine atoms on either side of the azide group. As an application, 3-azido-2,4-dichloro-10,5-(iminomethano)-lO,ll-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,dl cycloheptene (19),an analog of the potent PCP receptor ligand IDDC (141,was synthesized and its affinity for the PCP receptor was determined to be 6.3 f 0.7 pM (ICs0 against [3HlMK801).

INTRODUCTION Photoaffinity labeling (PAL) is used to examine the spatial relationship between components in biological systems (1-3). Typically, the photolabel is a ligand modified with a photoreactive group which can form a stable covalent bond between the label and biological macromolecule of interest. The success of experiments using PAL reagents depends in part on the CH or NH bond insertion efficiencyof the label upon photolysis. Aryl azides are often employed as the photoactive group in PAL reagents (4). These reagents form a highly reactive nitrene intermediate upon photolysis which can then undergo NH or CH insertion at the site of labeling with formation of a covalent bond. However, low levels of labeling are sometimes observed with aryl azides. These low labeling levels are attributed to ring expansion of the nitrene intermediate to the less reactive dehydroazepine intermediate. This intermediate is incapable of undergoing a bond insertion reaction (5,6) and instead reacts with solvent or nearby nucleophiles. We (7-10) and others (11-15) have been developing a series of functionalized perfluorophenyl azides (PFPAs) as a new class of PAL reagents. Fluorophenyl azide (FPA) based photolabeling reagents have shown significant improvement in both CH and NH insertion efficiency in organic solvents over nonfluorinated analogs. However, introduction of the FPA functionality into existing aryl azide-based photolabels or their amine precursors is complicated by the difficulty of fluorinating the aryl ring (16). We were therefore prompted to investigate the behavior of representative chlorophenyl azides (CPAs) for potential use as photoaffinity labels (17). CPAs are more readily available than the FPAs owing to the variety of methods available for aromatic chlori+ University of Oregon.

nation (18). Photolysis of m-or p-chlorophenyl azides in dimethylamine has been shown to give ring-expansion products (19, 20). Herein we report the synthesis and photochemical properties of the tetrasubstituted functionalized CPA methyl 4-azido-2,3,5,6-tetrachlorobenzoate (3),and the ortho,ortho'-disubstituted CPA methyl 4-mido-3,5-dichlorobenzoate (4). As an application of this technique, 3-azido-2,4-dichloro-10,5-(iminomethano)-10,1l-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,dlcycloheptene (191,aligand for the PCP receptor site (21) of the NMDA receptor in the mammalian central nervous system, was synthesized. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES lH NMR spectra were measured at 300 MHz in CDC13 unless otherwise noted. IR spectra were recorded in CDCh. Mass spectra were obtained in the electron ionization mode, and relative intensities are reported in parentheses after the mlz value. Solvents were reagent grade unless otherwise specified. MgSO, was used to dry organic solutions. All reactions involving azides were run under subdued light by wrapping flasks with aluminum foil. Analytical thin-layer chromatography was performed on Merck silica gel 60 F2u with a fluorescent indicator. Flash chromatography was performed using 200-425 mesh (Aldrich) silica gel. Preparative TLC was performed on Analtech GF precoated silica gel glass-backed plates (20 X 20 cm). Photolyses were carried out at ambient temperature in a Rayonet photochemical reactor with 350nm lamps and the progress of photolysis was followed by IRat 2123 cm-l (azide absorption). Solutions were purged with argon for 1 min before photolysis. Methyl 4-Azido-2,3,5,6-tetrachlorobenzoate (3). To a stirred solution of 312 mg (1.08 mmol) of aniline 1 (22) in CF3COzH (20 mL ) at 0 "C was added 173 mg (2.51 mmol) of NaNO2 at once. The solution was stirred at 0 "C for 1 h and then 187 mg (2.88 mmol) of NaN3 was added. The solution was allowed to come to room temperature and stirred for 1 h. It was then added dropwise to ice water, forming a yellow precipitate. The suspension was filtered and washed with ice water to leave 97 mg (29%) of 3 as a yellow powder, which was purified by crystallization from CHCldpentanes and then acetone/ 0 1993 American Chemical Society

Attempts to prepare 3 by reaction of sodium azide our laboratory (26-29).

Thus 1. NaNO&F3COzH far photolabeling approaches have utilized aromatic azides CI 2. NaN3 such as 3-azido-MK801 (13) (27, 28) that do not have NH2 N3 halogen atoms ortho to the azido group.

However, under strongly P

basic conditions (hydrazine, KOH, ethylene glycol, reflux), 18 was obtained in good yield. Diazotization followed by treatment with sodium azide afforded the azide 19. T h e affinity of 19 for the PCP receptor was assessed in terms of ita ability to compete with 13H]MK801,a ligand with high selectivity and affinity for the PCP receptor (29). For 19, the ICs0 value was determined t o be 6.3 f 0.7 pM (n = 3) whereas that of the corresponding nonchlorinated 3-azido-IDDC was 0.5 pM. T h u s we find that in the specific case of 19 the presence of the chlorine atoms decreased the receptor binding affinity. Since in general it is not possible to predict t h e effect of adding o-chlorine atoms to other aryl azide-based receptor ligands, in other instances the chlorinated ligands may well show satisfactory receptor affinity. For example, Hawkinson et al. (17) report that 1-(4-azido-3,5-dichlorophenyl)-4tert-butyl-2,6,7-trioxabicyclo[2.2.2locte is a 16-fold more potent inhibitor of PHITBOB binding than the corresponding nonhalogenated analog for the PHI TBOB binding site of the GABAA receptor complex. I n conclusion,we have developed t h e chlorinated phenyl azides 3 and 4 as models for a new class of photolabeling reagents. In photolysis experiments these models showed significant improvement in NH insertion in 1 M diethylamine/cyclohexane relative to the nonhalogenated analog 10. In addition, the relative ease by which amine precursors of existing aryl azide-based photolabels may be chlorinated should make application convenient. By way of illustration, the dichloroazido analog 19 of the PCP receptor ligand IDDC (14) was synthesized and its affinity for the PCP receptor was determined.
