An improved, versatile synthesis of the GABAC antagonists (1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridin-4-yl)methylphosphinic acid (TPMPA) and (piperidin-4-yl)methylphosphinic acid (P4MPA)

Abstract
A simple, versatile and economical synthesis of the highly selective GABAC antagonist (1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridin-4-yl)methylphosphinic acid (TPMPA) and the saturated analogue P4MPA is described. TPMPA is prepared in high yield in five steps via a palladium catalysed C–P bond forming reaction.
