Abstract

The design and synthesis of four 2,2-disubstituted dihydrobenzofurans that are structurally related to several glutamate-containing natural products, including (-)-dysiherbaine, is described. Biological evaluation of these analogs shows that one is a KA receptor antagonist and another is an NMDA receptor agonist.
