Abstract

Chiral HPLC resolution of the phosphodiesterase IV (PDE IV) inhibitor rolipram (1) provided (-)-1, and this enantiomer was converted into its 1-(4-bromobenzyl) derivative, (+)-2. X-ray structural analysis of (+)-2 established the absolute configuration as R, which provides the first direct evidence for a previously assumed assignment of configuration. The crystal structure of (+)-2 and the PDE inhibitory activity of both enantiomers of 2 are discussed in the context of a previously proposed topological model.
