Abstract:
Certain disclosed embodiments of the present invention concern a method for making biaryl compounds by combining a diene with a dienophile under reaction conditions that facilitate a Diels-Alder reaction. Certain embodiments are particularly directed to making a tetra- ortho -substituted biaryl compounds. The disclosed method may involve using novel dienes, dienophiles, or both. Similarly, certain of the biaryl compounds are novel compounds too. Additional disclosed embodiments concern a method for making useful compounds by first making a Diels-Alder adduct. The Diels-Alder adduct is then further modified or coupled to other compounds. The method can be used to make carbazoles, such as Siamenol. Disclosed biaryl compounds are useful for a number of applications, such as pharmacophores and organocatalysts.
Abstract:
Novel biphenyl and biphenyl-like cannabinoid compounds are presented. These compounds, when administered in a therapeutically effective amount to an individual or animal, result in a sufficiently high level of that compound in the individual or animal to cause a physiological response. The physiological response useful to treat a number of physiological conditions.
