The author of 《Synthesis of novel 2-(piperazin-1-yl-alkyl)-1H-benzimidazole derivatives and assessment of their interactions with the D2 dopamine receptor》 were Penjisevic, Jelena Z.; Andric, Deana B.; Sukalovic, Vladimir B.; Roglic, Goran M.; Soskic, Vukic; Kostic-Rajacic, Sladana. And the article was published in Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society in 2019. Formula: C5H9BrO2 The author mentioned the following in the article:
A total of 14 novel arylpiperazines were synthesized, and pharmacol. evaluated by measuring their affinities towards the D2 dopamine receptor (DRD2) in a [3H]spiperone competition assay. All the herein described compounds consist of a benzimidazole moiety connected to N-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine via linkers of various lengths. Mol. docking anal. and mol. dynamics simulations were performed on the DRD2-arylpiperazine complexes with the objective of exploring the receptor-ligand interactions and properties of the receptor binding site. The recently published crystal structure of DRD2 was used throughout this study. The major finding is that high affinity arylpiperazines must interact with both the orthosteric binding site and the extended binding pocket of DRD2 and therefore should contain a linker of 5 or 6 methylene groups long. The experimental part of the paper was very detailed, including the reaction process of Ethyl 3-bromopropanoate(cas: 539-74-2Formula: C5H9BrO2)
Ethyl 3-bromopropanoate(cas: 539-74-2) belongs to organobromine compounds.The reactivity of organobromine compounds resembles but is intermediate between the reactivity of organochlorine and organoiodine compounds. Dehydrobromination, Grignard reactions, reductive coupling, Wittig reaction, and several nucleophilic substitution reactions are some of the principal reactions which involve organic bromides.Formula: C5H9BrO2
