Technical Field
The present invention relates to compounds which are endothelia
antagonists, processes for making such compounds, synthetic
intermediates employed in these processes and methods and
2o compositions for antagonizing endothelia.
Background of the invention
Endothelia (ET) is a 21 amino acid peptide that is produced by
endothelial cells. ET is produced by enzymatic cleavage of a Trp-Val
25 bond in the precursor peptide big endothelia (Big ET). This cleavage is
caused by an endothelia converting enzyme (ECE). Endothelia has been
shown to constrict arteries and veins, increase mean arterial blood
pressure, decrease cardiac output, increase cardiac contractility i n
vitro, stimulate mitogenesis in vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro,
ao contract non-vascular smooth muscle including guinea pig trachea,
human urinary bladder strips and rat uterus in vi ro, increase airway
resistance i n viv , induce formation of gastric ulcers, stimulate
release of atrial natriuretic factor i n vitro and i n vivo, increase plasma
levels of vasopressin, aldosterone and catecholamines, inhibit release
3s of renin i n vitr and stimulate release of gonadotropins i n vi ro.
It has been shown that vasoconstriction is caused by binding of
endothelia to its receptors on vascular smooth muscle (Nature 3 2 411


CA 02297894 2000-O1-21
WO 99106397 - 2- PCT/US98/15479
(1988), FEBS Letters x,31 440 (1988) and Biochem. Biophys. Res.
Commun. 1 54 868 (1988)). An agent which suppresses endothelia
production or an agent which binds to endothelia or which inhibits the
binding of endothelia to an endothelia receptor will produce beneficial
s effects in a variety of therapeutic areas. In fact, an anti-endothelia
antibody has been shown, upon intrarenal infusion, to ameliorate the
adverse effects of renal ischemia on renal vascular resistance and
glomerular filtration rate (Kon, et al., J. Clin. Invest. 83 1762 (1989)).
In addition, an anti-endothelia antibody attenuated the nephrotoxic
o effects of intravenously administered cyclosporin (Kon, et al., Kidney
Int. 37 1487 {1990)) and attenuated infarct size in a coronary artery
ligation-induced myocardial infarction model (Watanabe, et al., Nature
344 114 (1990)).
Clozel et al. (Nature ~5_: 759-761 (1993)) report that Ro 46-
15 2005, a nonpeptide ET-A/B antagonist, prevents post-ischaemic renal
vasoconstriction in rats, prevents the decrease in cerebral blood flow
due to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in rats, and decreases MAP in
sodium-depleted squirrel monkeys when dosed orally. A similar effect
of a linear tripeptide-like ET-A antagonist, BQ-485, on arterial caliber
2o after SAH has also been recently reported (S.Itoh, T. Sasaki, K. Ide, K.
Ishikawa, M. Nishikibe, and M. Yano, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. , 195:
969-75 (1993). These results indicate that agents which antagonize
ETIET receptor binding will provide therapeutic benefit in the indicated
disease states.
Agents with the ability to antagonize ET/ET receptor binding have
been shown to be active in a number of animal models of human disease.
For example, Hogaboam et al (EUR. J. Pharmacoi. 1996, X09, 261-269),
have shown that an endothelia receptor antagonist reduced injury in a
rat model of colitis. Aktan et al (Transplant Int 1996, 9_, 201-207) have
so demonstrated that a similar agent prevents ischemia-reperfusion injury
in kidney transplantation. Similar studies have suggested the use of
endothelia antagonists in the treatment of angina, pulmonary
hypertension, Raynaud's disease, and migraine. (Ferro and Webb, Drugs
1996, 51,12-27).
35 Abnormal levels of endothelia or endothelia receptors have also
been associated with a number of disease states, including prostate


CA 02297894 2000-O1-21
WO 99/06397 - 3- PCTIUS98115479
cancer (Nelson et al, Nature Medicine 1995, 1, 944-949), suggesting a
rote of endothelin in the pathophysiology of these diseases.
Wu-Wong et al (Lfe Sciences 1996, 58, 1839-1847) have shown
that both endothelin and endothelin antagonists bind tightly to plasma
s proteins, e.g., serum albumin. This plasma protein binding can decrease
the effectiveness with which the antagonists inhibit endothelin's
action. Thus, endothelin antagonists with reduced plasma protein
binding may be more effective than highly bound congeners.

-C02H. A [i-ketoester ~, where E is loweralkyl or a carboxy protecting
group is reacted with a vitro vinyl compound ~, in the presence of a
base (for example, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-eve (DBU) or sodium
ethoxide or sodium hydride and the like) in an inert solvent such as
s toluene, benzene, tetrahydrofuran or ethanol and the like. The
condensation product $ is reduced (for example, hydrogenation using a
Raney nickel or platinum catalyst). The resulting amine cyclizes to give
the dihydro pyrrole 4_. Reduction of 4_ (for example, sodium
cyanoborohydride or catalytic hydrogenation and the like) in a erotic
1 o solvent such as ethanol or methanol and the like gives the pyrrolidine
compound $ as a mixture of cis-cis, traps, traps and cis, traps products.
Chromatographic separation removes the cis-cis isomer leaving a
mixture of the trans,trans and cis,trans isomers which is further
elaborated. The cis-cis isomer can be epimerized (for example, using
1 ~ sodium ethoxide in ethanol) to give the traps, traps isomer and then
carried on as described below. The pyrrolidine nitrogen is (1) acylated
or sulfonylated with R3-X (R3 is R4-C(O)- or Rs-S(O)2- and X is a
leaving group such as a halide {CI is preferred) or X taken together with
R4-C(O)- or R6-S(O)2- forms an activated ester including esters or
2o anhydrides derived from formic acid, acetic acid and the like,
alkoxycarbonyl halides, N-hydroxysuccinimide, N-hydroxyphthalimide,
N-hydroxybenzotriazoie, N-hydroxy-5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxamide,
2,4,5-trichlorophenol and the like) or (2) alkylated with R3-X where X is
a leaving group (for example, X is a halide (for example, CI, Br or I) or X
25 is a leaving group such as a sulfonate (for example, mesylate, tosylate,
triflate and the like)) in the presence of a base such as diisopropyl
ethylamine or triethyiamine and the like to give the N-derivatized
pyrrolidine $ which is still a mixture of traps, traps and cis, traps
isomers. Hydrolysis of the ester $ {for example, using a base such a
ao sodium hydroxide in EtOHIH20) selectively hydrolyzes the trans,trans
ester to give a mixture of 7 and $, which are readily separated.
Scheme II illustrates a general procedure for preparing the
compounds of the invention when n is 1, m is 0, Z is -CH2- and W is
-C02H. A substituted benzyl chloride $ is reacted with a lithio dithiane
35 1~ in an inert solvent such as THF or dimethoxyethane to give the
alkylated adduct j 1. The anion of compound 1 1 is formed using a base
such as n-butyliithium and then reacted with R1-CH2-X' wherein X' is a


CA 02297894 2000-O1-21
WO 99/06397 47 PCT/US98115479
leaving group such as a halide or sulfonate to give compound 1 2. The
dithiane protecting group is cleaved (for example, using a mercuric salt
in water) to give the keto compound 1 3. Reaction of ketone 1 3 with
benzyl amine and formaldehyde gives the keto piperidine compound 1 4.
s Treatment of compound 14 with an activated nitrite such as
trimethylsilyl cyanide followed by a dehydrating agent such as
phosphorous oxychloride provides the isomeric ene nitrites 1_~.
Reduction of the double bond (for example, using sodium borohydride)
affords the piperidinyl nitrite 16. Hydrolysis of the nitrite using
hydrochloric acid in the presence of a carboxy protecting reagent (for
example, an alkyl alcohol) affords ester 17 (where E is a carboxy
protecting group). Debenzylation by catalytic hydrogenation under
acidic conditions affords the free piperidine compound 1 8. Compound
1 8 is further elaborated by the procedures described in Scheme I for
15 compound 5_ to give the final product compound 1 9.
Scheme III illustrates a general procedure for preparing the
compounds of the invention when m and n are 0, Z is -C(O)- and W is
-C02H. ~i-Keto ester 20 (wherein E is loweralkyl or a carboxy
protecting group) is reacted with an a-haloester ~ 1_ (where J is lower
2o alkyl or a carboxy protecting group and the halogen is bromine, iodine or
chlorine) in the presence of a base such as NaH or potassium tert-
butoxide or lithium diisopropylamide in an inert solvent such as THF or
dimethoxyethane to give diester 22. Treating compound 22 with R3-NH2
and heating in acetic acid gives the cyclic compound ~ 3. The double
2s bond is reduced (for example, by catalytic hydrogenation using a
palladium on carbon catalyst or sodium cyanoborohydride reduction) to
give pyrrolidone 24. Epimerization with sodium ethoxide in ethanol to
give the desired trans,trans configuration, followed by sodium
hydroxide hydrolysis of the ester, affords the desired trans,trans
so carboxylic acid 25.
Scheme IV illustrates a general procedure for preparing the
compounds of the invention when n is 0, m is 1, Z is -CH2- and W is
-C02H. The trans,trans compound 7, prepared in Scheme I, is
homologated by the Arndt-Eistert synthesis. The carboxy terminus is
as activated (for example, by making the acid chloride using thionyl
chloride) to give compound 52, where L is a leaving group (in the case of
an acid chloride, L is CI). Compound ,5~ is treated with diazomethane to


CA 02297894 2000-O1-21
WO 99/06397 - 4g- PCT/US98115479
give the diazo ketone ,~3. Rearrangement of compound 5 3 (for example,
using water or an alcohol and silver oxide or silver benzoate and
triethylamine, or heating or photolysis in the presence of water or an
alcohol) affords the acetic acid compound 54 or an ester which may be
s hydrolyzed. Compounds where m is from 2 to 6 can be obtained by
repetition of the above described process.
A preferred embodiment is shown in Schemes V and Vl. A benzoyl
acetate ~ is reacted with a vitro vinyl benzodioxolyl compound 27
using 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-eve (DBU) as the base in toluene to
give compound 2 8. Catalytic hydrogenation using Raney nickel leads to
reduction of the vitro group to an amine and subsequent cyclization to
give the dihydropyrrole ~. The double bond is reduced with sodium
cyanoborohydride to give the pyrrolidine compound 3~( as a mixture of
cis-cis, traps, traps and cis, traps isomers. Chromatography separates
~ s out the cis-cis isomer, leaving a mixture of the traps, traps and
cis, traps isomers (31 ).
Scheme VI illustrates the further elaboration of the traps, traps
isomer. The mixture (31 ) of traps, traps and cis, traps pyrrolidines
described in Scheme IV is reacted with N-propyl bromoacetamide in
2o acetonitrile in the presence of ethyldiisopropylamine to give the
alkyiated pyrroiidine compound 32, still as a mixture of trans,trans and
cis,trans isomers. Sodium hydroxide in ethanol-water hydrolyzes the
ethyl ester of the traps, traps compound but leaves the ethyl ester of
the cis,trans compound untouched, thus allowing separation of the
25 traps, traps carboxylic acid 3 3 from the cis, traps ester 3 4.
Scheme V!I illustrates the preparation of a specific piperidinyl
compound. Benzodioxolyl methyl chloride 3 5 is reacted with lithio
dithiane ~ to give the alkylated compound ~7. Treatment of compound
~7 with 4-methoxybenzyl chloride in the presence of lithium
3o diisopropylamide gives compound ~$,. Cleavage of the dithiane
protecting group using a mercuric salt in aqueous solution gives ketone
3 9. Treatment of 3 9 with benzylamine and formaldehyde gives the keto
piperidine 4Q. Treatment of compound 40 with trimethylsilyl cyanide
followed by phosphorous oxychloride gives the eve nitrite as a mixture
35 Of isomers 41. Sodium borohydride reduction of the double bond gives
the piperidinyi nitrite 42. Hydrochloric acid hydrolysis in the presence
of ethanol gives ethyl ester 43. The N-benzyl protecting group is


CA 02297894 2000-O1-21
WO 99106397 49 PCTIUS98I15479
removed by catalytic hydrogenation to give the free piperidine
compound 44. Compound 44 is further elaborated by the procedures
described in Scheme V for compound 31 resulting in the formation of
the N-derivatized carboxylic acid ~.
s A preferred embodiment of the process shown in Scheme III is
shown in Scheme VIII. 4-Methoxybenzoylacetate 4_C (wherein E is
loweralkyl or a carboxy protecting group) is reacted with an
benzodioxolyl a-bromoacetate 47 (wherein E is lower alkyl or a carboxy
protecting group) in the presence of NaH in THF to give diester 4 $,.
i o Treating compound 4~ with ethoxypropylamine and heating in acetic
acid gives the cyclic compound 49. The double bond is reduced by
catalytic hydrogenation using a palladium on carbon catalyst to give
pyrrolidone ,5~. Epimerization with sodium ethoxide in ethanol to give
the desired traps, traps configuration is followed by sodium hydroxide
1 s hydrolysis of the ester to afford the desired traps, traps carboxylic acid
51.
Scheme IX illustrates the preparation of compounds where n is 0,
Z is -CH2-, and W is other than carboxylic acid. Compound 5 5, which can
be prepared by the procedures described in Scheme IV, is converted (for
2o example, using peptide coupling condition, e.g. N-methylmorpholine,
EDCI and HOBt, in the presence of ammonia or other amide forming
reactions} to give carboxamide 56. The carboxamide is dehydrated (for
example, using phosphorus oxychloride in pyridine) to give nitrite ,~7.
Nitrite ~7 under standard tetrazole forming conditions (sodium azide
2s and triethylamine hydrochloride or trimethylsilylazide and fin oxide) is
reacted to give tetrazole 58. Alternatively nitrite 57 is reacted with
hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of a base (for example,
potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide,
triethylamine, sodium methoxide or NaH) in a solvent such as DMF,
so DMSO, or dimethylacetamide to give amidoxime ~9. The amidoxime
is allowed to react with a methyl or ethyl chloroformate in a
conventional organic solvent (such as, chloroform, methylene chloride,
dioxane, THF, acetonitrile or pyridine) in the presence of a base (for
example, triethylamine, pyridine, potassium carbonate and sodium
ss carbonate) to give an O-acyl compound. Heating of the O-acyl
amidoxime in an inert solvent (such as benzene, toluene, xylene,
dioxane, THF, dichloroethane, or chloroform and the like) results in


CA 02297894 2000-O1-21
WO 99/06397 - 5 ~ ' PCTIUS98115479
cycfization to compound 6 0. Alternatively reacting the amidoxime
with thionyl chloride in an inert solvent (for example, chloroform,
dichloromethane, dixoane and THF and the Pike) affords the
oxathiadiazoie F 1_.
Scheme X illustrates the preparation of compounds in which R3 is
an acylmethylene group. A carboxylic acid 6 2 (where R4 is as
previously defined herein) is treated with oxalyl chloride in a solution
of methylene chloride containing a catalytic amount of N,N-
dimethylformamide to give the acid chloride. Treatment of the acid
1 o chloride with excess ethereal diazomethane affords a diazoketone, and
then treatment with anhydrous HCI in dioxane gives the a-chloroketone
6 3. Pyrrolidine ester 5_ where E is lower alkyl or a carboxy protecting
group, prepared in Scheme I, is alkylated with the a-chloroketone 6 3 to
provide alkylated pyrrolidine 6 4. Carboxy deprotection (for example,
i s hydrolysis of an alkyl ester using lithium or sodium hydroxide in
ethanol-water) gives the alkylated pyrrolidine acid 6 5.
Scheme XI illustrates the preparation of "reverse amides and
sulfonamides". The carboxy protected pyrrolidine 5_, prepared in Scheme
I, is reacted with a difunctionalized compound X-R$-X where R8 is
2o alkylene and X is a leaving group (for example a halide where Br is
preferred) to give N-alkylated compound 6 6. Treatment of C~6 with an
amine (R2pNH2) affords secondary amine 67. This amine (67) can be
reacted with an activated acyl compound (for example, R4-C(O)-CI) and
then carboxy deprotected (for example, hydrolysis of an ester or
25 hydrogenation of a benzyl moiety) to afford amide 68. Alternatively
amine ~7 can be reacted with an activated sulfonyl compound (for
example, R6-S(O)2-CI) and then carboxy deprotected (for example,
hydrolysis of an ester or hydrogenation of a benzyl moiety) to afford
sulfonamide ~9.
so Scheme XII illustrates a method for synthesizing pyrrolidines by
an azomethine yfide type [3+2]-cycloaddition to an acryiate. General
structures such as compound 70 are known to add to unsaturated esters
such as 71 to provide pyrrolidines such as compound 72 (O. Tsuge, S.
Kanemasa, K. Matsuda, Chem. Lett. 1131-4 (1983), O. Tsuge, S.
ss Kanemasa, T. Yamada, K. Matsuda, J. Org. Chem. 5 2 2523-30 (1987), and
S. Kanemasa, K. Skamoto, O. Tsuge, Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn. ~ 1960-68
(1989)). A specific example is also shown in Scheme XII. Sifyiimine 73


CA 02297894 2000-O1-21
WO 99/06397 ' S1 ' PCT/US98115479
is reacted with acrylate 74 in the presence of trimethylsilyl triflate
and tetrabutylammonium fluoride to give the desired pyrrolidine 7 5 as a
mixture of isomers. This method can be modified to provide the N-
acetamido derivatives directly by reacting ~ and 7 4 with the
s appropriate bromoacetamide (for example, dibutyl bromoacetamide) in
the presence of tetrabutylammonium iodide and cesium fluoride to give
compound 7~.
Scheme XI11 illustrates a method for producing an
enantiomerically pure pyrrolidine $_0, which can be further elaborated
io on the pyrrofidine nitrogen. intermediate racemic pyrrolidine ester 77
(for example, prepared by the procedure described in Scheme V) is Boc-
nitrogen protected (for example, by treatment with Boc20) and then the
ester is hydrolyzed (for example, using sodium or lithium hydroxide in
ethanol and water) to give t-butyl carbamoyl pyrrolidine carboxylic acid
~ s ~. The carboxylic acid is converted to its (+)-cinchonine salt, which
can be recrystallized (for example from ethyl acetate and hexane or
chloroform and hexane} to afford the diastereomerically pure salt. This
diastereomerically pure salt can be neutralized (for example, with
sodium carbonate or citric acid) to afford enantiomerically pure
2o carboxylic acid 79. The pyrrolidine nitrogen can be deprotected (for
example, using trifluoroacetic acid} and the ester reformed by the use
of ethanolic hydrochloric acid to give salt 8 0. Alternatively one can use
ethanol HCI to cleave the protecting group and form the ester in one
step. The pyrrolidine nitrogen can be further elaborated (for example,
2s by treatment with the dibutyl amide of bromoacetamide in acetonitrile
in the presence of diisopropylethylamine) to give optically active
compound ~1,. The use of (-)-cinchonine will give the opposite
enantiomer.
Scheme XIV describes another procedure for preparation of
so pyrrolidines. Pyrrolidines may be synthesized by the use of an
azomethine ylide cycloaddition to an acrylate derivative as described by
Cottrell, I. F., et.al., J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1, 5: 1091-97 (1991 ).
Thus, the azomethine ylide precursor ~2 (where R55 is hydrogen or
methyl) is condensed with a substituted acryfate ~3 (wherein R2 is as
35 described herein and R~s is loweralkyl) under acidic conditions to
afford the substituted pyrrolidine ~4. The N-protecting group can be
removed (for example, by hydrogenolysis of an N-benzyl group) to give


CA 02297894 2000-O1-21
WO 99/06397 - 52- PCT/US98/15479
$_5, which can be alkylated under the conditions described above to
provide the N-substituted pyrrolidine $6. Standard ester hydrolysis of
86 produces the desired pyrrolidine carboxylic acid $,7.
A preferred process is shown in Scheme XV. Nitro vinyl compound
s (8 8) is reacted with beta-keto ester 8 9 in the presence of a base such
as sodium ethoxide and the like or a trialkylamine such as triethylamine
or diisopropylethylamine and the like or an amidine such as DBU and the
like in an inert solvent such as THF, toluene, DMF, acetonitrile, ethyl
acetate, isopropyl acetate or methylene chloride and the like at a
1 o temperature of from about 0° C to about 100° C for a period
of time
from about 15 minutes to overnight to give compound ~0. Reduction of
the vitro group followed by cyclization was effected for example by
catalytic hydrogenation with a hydrogen pressure of from about
atmospheric pressure to 300 p.s.i. over from about 1 hour to about 1 day
15 Of compound ~0_ in an inert solvent such as THF, ethyl acetate, toluene,
ethanol, isopropanol, DMF or acetonitrile and the like, using a
hydrogenation catalyst such as Raney nickel, palladium on carbon, a
platinum catalyst, such as platinum oxide, platinum on carbon or
platinum on alumina and the like, or a rhodium catalyst, such as rhodium
20 on carbon or rhodium on alumina and the like, and the like affords
intermediate nitrone 9~ or a mixture of nitrone 91 a and imine 91 b.
The reaction mixture comprising the nitrone or nitrone/imine mixture
is treated with an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid or acetic acid or
sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid or methanesulfonic acid and the like,
2s and the hydrogenation is continued to give pyrrolidine compound 92 as
the cis,cis-isomer. Epimerization at C-3 is effected by treatment of
compound ~2 with a base such as sodium ethoxide, potassium
t-butoxide, lithium t-butoxide or potassium t-amyloxide and the like or
a trialkylamine such as triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine and the
so like or an amidine such as DBU and the like in an inert solvent such as
ethanol, ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, THF, toluene or DMF and the
like at a temperature of from about -20° C to about 120° C to
give the
traps, traps compound ~3. Compound 9 3 itself can optionally be resolved
into enantiomers prior to reacting with X-R3. The substantially pure
3s (i.e., at feast 95% of the desired isomer} optically active (+)-isomer of
compound ~3 is obtained by treatment of a mixture of the (+)-isomer
and the (-)-isomer of 9 3 with S-(+)-mandelic acid, D-tartaric acid or


CA 02297894 2000-O1-21
WO 99106397 - ~3- PCT/US98115479
D-dibenzoyl tartaric acid and the like in a solvent such as acetonitrile,
ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, ethanol or isopropanol and the like.
The (+)-isomer of 9 3 selectively crystallizes as the salt, leaving the
(-)-isomer of ~ in solution. Alternatively, the substantially pure (i.e.,
s at least 95% of the desired isomer) optically active (-)-isomer of
compound 9 3 can be selectively crystallized by reaction of a mixture of
the
(+)-isomer and the (-)-isomer of ~ 3 with L-tartaric acid, L-dibenzoyl
tartaric acid or L-pyroglutamic acid and the like, leaving the desired
i o (+)-isomer of compound ~3, in solution.
Compound ~3, (racemic or optically active) is reacted with X-R3
{where X is a leaving group (for example, a halide or a sulfonate) and R3
is as previously defined) using a base such as diisopropylethylamine,
triethylamine, sodium bicarbonate or potassium carbonate and the like
i s in an inert solvent such as acetonitrile, THF, toluene, DMF or ethanol and
the like at a temperature of from about 0° C to about 100° C to
give the
intermediate ester ~4. The ester can be isolated or converted in situ
to the carboxylic acid {9~5 using hydrolysis conditions such as a base
such as sodium hydroxide or lithium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide
2o and the like in a solvent such as ethanol-water or THF-ethanol and the
like.
A more detailed description of the preparation of some specific
analogs is provided in Schemes XVI-XX1. Aliphatic p-ketoesters
(Scheme XVl) may be prepared by copper-catalyzed addition of a
25 Grignard reagent (for example, propylmagnesium bromide) to an
unsaturated ester, for example, ethyl 3,3-dimethylacrylate. The
resultant ester is hydrolyzed, for example with sodium hydroxide in
aqueous alcohol, and is homologated in stepwise fashion to the
corresponding ~3-ketoester, for example by activation using
so carbonyldiimidazole and condensation with magnesio-ethoxymalonate.
Alternatively, olefinic (i-ketoesters may be prepared by Claisen
rearangement of the corresponding allylic alcohols; hydrolysis and
homologation as described above produce the desired ~i-ketoester.
N-alkyl,0-alkyl bromohydraxamates are prepared according to
$s Scheme XVII. N-Boc-O-aliyl hydroxylamine is alkylated with and alkyl
halide, for example using sodium hydride as base; the double bond is
selectively reduced, for example using hydrogen and a palladium


CA 02297894 2000-O1-21
WO 99/06397 54 PCTlUS98115479
catalyst. After removal of the Boc protecting group, for example with
TFA, the resultant amine is acylated, for example using bromoacetyl
bromide.
The ~i-ketoesters described in Scheme XVI may be converted to
s pyrroiidine derivatives as described in Scheme XVIII. Michael addition
onto a nitrostyrene derivative can be catalyzed with base, for example
DBU or potassium t-butoxide; the resultant adduct is hydrogenated, for
example using Raney Nickel as catalyst, to give an imine, which is
reduced further, for example using sodium cyanoborohydride under
1 o controlled pH. A mixture of isomers are generated, in which the trans-
trans is generally preferred.
Scheme XIX describes several strategies for resolving the racemic
pyrrolidines described above. Treatment with a chiral acid, for example
(S)-(+)-mandelic acid, may provide a crystalline derivative, which can
15 be further enriched through recrystallization. The salt may be washed
with base to extract the resolving agent and return the optically active
pyrrolidine product. Alternatively, the amino ester can be N-protected
(for example with Boc-anhydride) and hydrolyzed (for example with
sodium hydroxide) to give the corresponding N-protected amino acid.
2o Activation of the acid, for example as the pentafluorophenyl ester,
followed by coupling with a chiral nonracemic oxazolidinone anion,
provides the corresponding acyloxazolidinone diastereomers, which may
be separated chromatographically. Alcoholysis of one acyloxazolidinone
diastereomer, followed by cleavage of the N-protecting group, returns
2s an optically enriched amino ester. A similar transformation may be
accomplished through coupling of the protected amino acid with a chiral
nonracemic amino alcohol. After chromatographic separation of the
resultant diastereomers, the amide is cleaved and the protecting group
is removed to provide optically enriched product.
so Optically active amino esters prepared as described above may be
alkylated (Scheme XX) with a variety of electrophiles, for example
dibutyl bromoacetamide, N-butyl,N-alkoxy bromoacetamide, N-(4-
heptyl)-N-(3-methyl-4-fluorophenyl} bromoacetamide, or N-(S2-
hydroxyalkyl)-N-alkyl haloacetamide. Hydrolysis of the resultant ester,
35 for example using sodium hydroxide in aqueous alcohol, provides the
product.


CA 02297894 2000-O1-21
WO 99/06397 - 55- PCT/US98I15479
For one particular class of electrophile, N-(S2-hydroxyalkyl)-N-
alkyl haloacetamides, further transformations of the alkylation product
are possible (Scheme XXI). Activation (for example using
methanesulfonyl chloride) of the alcohol, followed by displacement with
halogen (for example, using lithium bromide) provides the corresponding
halide. Displacement of halide with an amine, for example
dimethylamine, provides the corresponding amino ester, which may be
hydrolyzed as previously described to provide product.

Benzofuran-4-carboxaldehyde
To a suspension of 60% sodium hydride in mineral oil (4.00 g, Z 00
mmol, 1.25 eq) in DMF (60 mL} at 0 °C was added a solution of 3-
2o bromophenol (13.8 g, 80 mmol} in DMF (5 mL). After 10 minutes,
bromoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal { 14.9 mL, 96.6 mmol, 1.24 eq) was
added, and the resultant mixture then heated at 120 °C for 2.5 hours.
The mixture was cooled to room temperature and was poured into
water, and extracted once with ether. The organic solution was dried
2s over MgS04, filtered, evaporated and vacuum distilled to yield a
colorless liquid (17.1 g, 74%). b.p. 160-163 °C at 0.4 mm Hg.
To warm polyphosphoric acid (15.3 g) was added a solution of the
above compound (17.1 g, 59.3 mmol) in benzene (50 mL). The resultant
mixture was heated under reflux with vigorous stirring for 4 hours,
so after which time the benzene layer was carefully decanted off, and the
lower layer washed once with hexanes. The combined organic solutions
were concentrated in vacuo, and then vacuum distilled to yieid a
colorless liquid (8.13 g, 70%). b.p. 62-72 °C at 0.6 mm Hg.
To a solution of the above compounds (8.11 g, 41.5 mmol) in ether

Indane-5-carboxaldehyde was prepared by formylation of indane
under the conditions described for 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran in Example
~ 0 52A. The resultant mixture of 4- and 5-carboxahiehydes was purified
as follows: to a 6:1 mixture of indane-4-carboxaldehyde and indane-5-
carboxaldehyde (3.46 g, 23 mmol) was added aniline (2.20 g, 23 mmol, 1
eq). The resultant solution slowly solidfied to a mixture of imines
which was recrystallized from hot acetonitrile to yield the 5-aldimine
~ s as a white solid. The aldimine (2.65 g) was suspended in water (6 mL),
and treated with 4 N hydrochloric dioxane (10 mL). The mixture was
boiled for 1 hour, cooled to room temperature, and poured into ether.
The organic solution was dried over MgS04, filtered, and concentated in
vacuo. Vacuum distillation of the residue afforded indane-5-
2o carboxaldehyde (1.54 g, 88%) as a colorless liquid. b.p. 88-90 °C at

1 s in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) for 6 hours at room temperature.
At the same time, magnesium chloride (3.01 g, 31.6 mmoi) and ethyl
malonate potassium salt (7.52 g, 44.2 mmol, 1.4 equivalents) were
stirred in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (75 mL) for 6 hours at 50 °C. The
mixture was cooled to room temperature, and the imidazole-acid
2o mixture added to it. The reaction stirred overnight at room temerature.
The solvents were removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was
taken up in chloroform/water. The organic phase washed with 5%
potassium bisulfate, water, and brine, dried with magnesium sulfate,
filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was
2s purified by flash chromatography on 175 g silica gel, eluting with 20%
ethyl acetate in hexanes. Pure fractions of the syn and anti
methoxycyclohexyl ~-keto esters were obtained. The solvents were
removed under reduced pressure to yield the traps-4-methoxycyclohexyl
