Abstract
The anti and syn isomers of tolvaptan-type compounds, N-benzoyl-5-hydroxy-1-benzazepines (5a-c), were prepared in a stereocontrolled manner by biasing the conformation with a methyl group at C9 and C6, respectively, and the enantiomeric forms were separated. Examination of the affinity at the human vasopressin receptors revealed that the axial chirality (aS) plays a more important role than the central chirality at C5 in receptor recognition, and the most preferable form was shown to be (E,aS,5S).
