CGP-7930 was the first positive allosteric modulator of GABAB receptors described in literature. [1] [2] [3] [4] CGP7930 is also a GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator and a blocker of Potassium channels. [5]
CGP7930 was developed in Novartis and has been used extensively for scientific research. It has anxiolytic effects in animal studies, [6] [7] and has a synergistic effect with GABAB agonists such as baclofen and GHB, [8] [9] as well as reducing self-administration of alcoholic drinks and cocaine.

The chemical synthesis has been described: [13] Starting material: [14] Product of first step: [15] [16]
2,6-Di-tert-butylphenol is treated with formaldehyde, base and methanol to give [87-97-8] (2). Base catalyzed reaction with isobutaldehyde gives CGP-13501 (3). Hydride reduction of the aldehyde gives the primary alcohol.
According to Krysin (Russia), 2,6-Di-tert-butylphenol is reacted with Neopentyl glycol with lye in an autoclave. Although 1 step reaction, yield was quoted as merely 15%. [17]
