NE-100 was one of the earliest selective sigma-1 receptor ligands reported and has been widely used as a pharmacological tool. The original, eight step synthesis of NE-100 was reported by Atsuro Nakazato and colleagues of Taisho Pharmaceutical Company in 1999.^[3] More recently, Michael Kassiou and co-workers have reported a more expedient synthesis of NE-100 that proceeds in 56% unoptimized yield over 4 steps.^[4]
