CELL ADHESION-INHIBITING ANTIINFLAMMATORY COMPOUNDS
Technical Field
The present invention relates to compounds that are useful for treating
inflammatory diseases, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these
compounds, and
to methods of inhibiting inflammation in a mammal.
Background of The Invention
Inflammation results from a cascade of events that includes vasodilation
accompanied by increased vascular permeability and exudation of fluid and
plasma
proteins. This disruption of vascular integrity precedes or coincides with an
infiltration of
inflammatory cells. Inflammatory mediators generated at the site of the
initial lesion serve
to recruit inflammatory cells to the site of injury. These mediators
(chemokines such as
IL,-8, MCP-1, MIP-1, and RANTES, complement fragments and lipid mediators)
have
chemotactic activity for leukocytes and attract the inflammatory cells to the
inflamed
lesion. These chemotactic mediators which cause circulating leukocytes to
localize at the
site of inflammation require the cells to cross the vascular endothelium at a
precise
location. This leukocyte recruitment is accomplished by a process called cell
adhesion.
Cell adhesion occurs through a coordinately regulated series of steps that
allow the
leukocytes to first adhere to a specific region of the vascular endothelium
and then cross
the endothelial barrier to migrate to the inflamed tissue (Springer, T.A.,
1994, Traffic
Signals for Lymphocyte Recirculation and Leukocyte Emigration: The Multistep
Paradigm, Cell 76: 301-314; Lawrence, M.B., and Springer, 'T.A., 1991,
Leukocytes' Roll
on a Selectin at Physiologic Flow Rates: Distinction from and Prerequisite for
Adhesion

L.M.,
Bargatze, R.F., Arfos, K.E, and Butcher, E.C., 1991, Two-Step Model of
Leukocyte-
Endothelial Cell Interactions in Inflammation, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88:
7538-
7542; and Ley, K., Gaehtgens, P., Fennie, C., Singer, M.S., Lasky, L.H. and
Rosen,
S.D.,1991, Lectin-Like Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 Mediates Rolling in Mesenteric
Venules
in vivo, Blood 77: 2553-2555). These steps are mediated by families of
adhesion
molecules such as integrin, Ig supergene family members, and selectins which
are
expressed on the surface of the circulating leukocytes and on the vascular
endothelial cells.
The first step consists of leukocyte rolling along the vascular endothelial
cell lining in the


CA 02333770 2000-11-30
WO 99/62908 PCT/CTS99/12419
region of inflammation. The rolling step is mediated by an interaction between
leukocyte
surface oligosaccharides (such as Sialylated Lewis-X antigen (Slex)) and a
selectin
molecule expressed on the surface of the endothelial cell in the region of
inflammation.
The selectin molecule is not normally expressed on the surface of endothelial
cells but
rather is induced by the action of inflammatory mediators such as TNF-a and
interleukin-
1. Rolling decreases the velocity of the circulating leukocyte in the region
of
inflammation and allows the cells to more firmly adhere to the endothelial
cell. The firm
adhesion is accomplished by the interaction of integrin molecules that are
present on the
surface of the rolling leukocytes and their counter-receptors-the Ig
superfamily molecule-
on the surface of the endothelial cell. The Ig superfamily molecules or CAMS
(Cell
Adhesion Molecules) are either not expressed or are expressed at low levels on
normal
vascular endothelial cells. The CAM's, like the selectins, are induced by the
action of
inflammatory mediators like TNF-alpha and IL-1. The final event in the
adhesion process
is the extravasation of the leukocyte through the endothelial cell barrier and
the migration
of the leukocyte along the chemotactic gradient to the site of inflammation.
This
transmigration is mediated by the conversion of the leukocyte integrin from a
low avidity
state to a high avidity state. The adhesion process relies on the induced
expression of
selectins and CAM's on the surface of vascular endothelial cells to mediate
the rolling and
firm adhesion of leukocytes to the vascular endothelium.
The induced expression of e-selectin and CAM's is mediated by the
transcription
factor NFkB. NFkB is a family of dimeric transcription factors made from
monomers
containing the 300 amino acid Rel domain. These factors can bind to DNA,
interact with
each other and bind to an inhibitor molecule termed IkB (Vermaa, LM.,
Stevenson, J.K.,
Schwarz, E.M., Antwerp, D.V., and Miyamoto, S, 1995, Rel/NF1B/IkB Family:
Intimate
Tales of Association and Dissociation, Genes Dev. 9: 2723-2735; and BaIdwin,
A.S.
1996, The NFkB and IkB proteins: New Discoveries and Insights, Annu. Rev.
Immunol.
14: 649-681). NFkB is found in the cytoplasm complexed with IkB. Activation of
NFkB
occurs in response to inflammatory mediators such as TNF-a, IL-l, and
lipopolysaccharide. Activation of NFkB requires phosphorylation of IkB
followed by
ubiquitinylation of the IkB molecule and subsequent degradation by
proteosomes. Release
of NFkB from association with IkB results in translocation of the dimer to the
nucleus
where it can associate with specific DNA sequences. The e-selectin gene and
CAM's
contain NFkB-recognition sequences upstream from their coding regions. The DNA-

bound NFkB acting with other proteins in the transcription complex directs the
expression
of the e-selectin and CAM genes among others controlled by this transcription
factor.

The present invention discloses compounds that inhibit the expression of e-
selectin
and ICAM-1 relative to VCAM-1. These compounds are useful for the treatment or
prophylaxis of diseases caused by expression of adhesion molecules. These
diseases
include those in which leukocyte trafficking plays a role, notably acute and
chronic
inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, tumor metastasis, allograft
rejection, and
reperfusion injury.

Thus the compounds of the present invention act as antiinflammatory agents
with
potencies below 1 p,M and are therefore useful for treating inflammatory
diseases.
Pharmaceutical Compositions and Methods of Treatment
The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions which comprise
compounds of the present invention formulated together with one or more non-
toxic
pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. The pharmaceutical compositions may be
specially
formulated for oral administration m solid or liquid form, for parenteral
injection, or for
rectal administration.
The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can be administered to
humans
and other animals orally, rectally, parenterally , intracisternally,
intravaginally,
intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments, or drops), bucally, or
as an oral or
nasal spray. The term "parenteral" administration as used herein refers to
modes of
administration which include intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal,
intrasternal,
subcutaneous and intraarticular injection and infusion.
Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention for parenteral injection
comprise
pharmaceutically acceptable sterile aqueous or nonaqueous solutions,
dispersions,
suspensions or emulsions as well as sterile powders for reconstitution into
sterile
injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use. Examples of suitable
aqueous and
nonaqueous carriers, diluents, solvents or vehicles include water, ethanol,
polyols (such as
glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable
mixtures
thereof, vegetable oils (such as olive oil), and injectable organic esters
such as ethyl oleate.
Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of coating
materials such as
lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of
dispersions, and by
the use of surfactants.
These compositions may also contain adjuvants such as preservative, wetting
agents, emulsifying agents, and dispersing agents. Prevention of the action of
microorganisms may be ensured by the inclusion of various antibacterial and
antifungal
32


CA 02333770 2000-11-30
WO 99/62908 PCT/US99/12419
agents, for example, paraben, chlorobutanol, phenol sorbic acid, and the like.
It may also
be desirable to include isotonic agents such as sugars, sodium chloride, and
the like,
Prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form may be brought
about by the
inclusion of agents which delay absorption such as aluminum monostearate and
gelatin.
In some cases, in order to prolong the effect of the drug, it is desirable to
slow the
absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may
be
accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous
material with
poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon
its rate of
dissolution which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form.
Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form is
accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.
Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the drug
in
biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the
ratio of
drug to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of
drug release
can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include
poly{orthoesters)
and poly(anhydrides) Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by
entrapping the
drug in liposomes or microemulsions which are compatible with body tissues.
The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration
through a
bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form
of sterile solid
compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other
sterile
injectable medium just prior to use.
Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills,
powders,
and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is mixed with at
least one
inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate
or dicalcium
phosphate and/or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose,
glucose,
mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as, for example,
carboxymethylcellulose,
alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, and acacia, c) humectants
such as
glycerol, d) disintegrating agents such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate,
potato or tapioca
starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, e) solution
retarding agents
such as paraffin, f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium
compounds, g)
wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate,
h)
absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and i} lubricants such as talc,
calcium
stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl
sulfate, and
mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form
may also
comprise buffering agents.

Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft
and
hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as
well as high
molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.
The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can
be
S prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other
coatings well known
in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They may optionally contain opacifying
agents and
can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredients) only,
or
preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a
delayed manner.
Examples of embedding compositions which can be used include polymeric
substances
and waxes.
The active compounds can also be in micro-encapsulated form, if appropriate,
with
one or more of the above-mentioned excipients.
Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically
acceptable
emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the
active compounds,
the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art
such as, for
example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as
ethyl alcohol,
isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl
benzoate,
propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethyl formamide, oils (in
particular, cottonseed,
groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol,
tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol,
polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof.
Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such
as
wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and
perfuming
agents.

which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with suitable
non-
irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or
a suppository

liposomes. As is known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from
phospholipids or
other lipid substances. Liposomes are formed by mono- or multi-lamellar
hydrated liquid
crystals that are dispersed in an aqueous medium. Any non-toxic,

Synthetic Methods
The compounds and processes of the present invention will be better understood
in
connection with the following synthetic schemes which illustrate the methods
by which
the compounds of the invention can be prepared. Further, all citations herein
are
incorporated by reference.
Scheme 1
Scheme 1 shows the preparation of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines from esters of
general
formula 1 by published procedures. 4-Chlorothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines of general
formula
3 were substituted with thiols to provide 4-thioethers of general formula 4 or
substituted
with amines to provide 4-aminothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines of general formula 5.
37


CA 02333770 2000-11-30
WO 99/62908 PCT/US99/12419
Scheme 2
Scheme 2 shows the preparation of 2-carboxy-substituted thieno[2,3-
d]pyrimidines. Pyrimidinones of general formula 1 weres reacted with
phosphoryl
chloride to produce 4-chloro pyrimidines of general formula 6, which were then
substituted with thiols to provide thioethers of general formula 7.
Scheme 3
Scheme 3 shows the preparation of thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines derived from
chloropyrimidines of general formula 8. Substitution of the chlorides with
thiols provided
thioethers of general formula 9, and substitution of the chlorides with amines
provided
aminopyrimidines of general formula 10.
Scheme 4
Analogs having 2-carboxamide groups on the thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine were
prepared as shown in Scheme 4. The thiophene-2-position was deprotonated with
a strong
base such as lithium diisopropylamide, and the corresponding carbanion was
treated with
carbon dioxide to provide acids of general formula 11. The acids were
converted to the
corresponding amides of general formula 12 through the intermediate acid
chlorides.
38


CA 02333770 2000-11-30
WO 99/62908 PCT/US99/12419
Scheme 5
Scheme 5 shows the preparation of 6-alkyl substituted thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines
with alkylthio groups at the 4-position. Using known procedures, 2-
aminothiophene 13
was acylated to provide amide 14 which was cyclized to provide
thienopyrimidinone 15.
The pyrimidinone was converted to chloride 16 and further to thioether 17 by
standard
procedures.
Scheme 6
The general process for preparing 2,4-disubstituted thieno[2,3-c]pyridines is
shown
in Scheme 6. Commercially available 3,5-dichlorpyridine was treated with
strong base
such as lithium diisopropylanude in an anhydrous solvent at low temperature
followed by
reaction with methyl formate (or alternatively, dimethylformamide) to provide
the known
pyridine-4-carboxaldehyde 18. Aldehyde 18 was then substituted with one
equivalent of
thiol (R' = substituted or unsubstituted aryl, alkyl, or heterocyclic) to
produce
chloroaldehyde of general formula 19. Treatment of 19 with methyl
thioglycolate and a
base such as cesium carbonate or potassium carbonate provided the 4-thioether
[2,3-c]-
thienopyridine esters of general formula 20. The esters were converted to the
corresponding acids of general formula 21 by basic hydrolysis, for example
using lithium,
sodium, or potassium hydroxide in a mixture of water and alcohol or
tetrahydrofuran.
Acids of general formula 21 may also be converted to amides of general formula
22 or 23
through the intermediate acid chlorides by treatment first with oxalyl
chloride or thionyl
chloride, then with the amine of choice (RZ, R3 can be substituted or
unsubstituted alkyl,
39


CA 02333770 2000-11-30
WO 99/62908 PCT/US99/12419
aryl, heterocyclic). Alternatively, aicds 21 may be converted to amides 22 or
23 by other
coupling methods, such as carbodiimide (for example, N-ethyl-N'-(3-
dimethylamino)propyl carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC)), mixed anhydrides
(derived
from pivaloyl chloride or isobutyl chloroformate treatment), and active esters
(for
example, derived from N-hydroxysuccinimide, p-nitrophenol).
Scheme 7
Scheme 7 illustrates the analogous preparation of 4-ether-substituted
thienopyridines of general formula 30. Aldehyde 18 was substituted with
alcohols (R1 =
substituted or unsubstituted aryl, heterocyclic) under basic conditions (for
example,
potassium tert-butoxide or cesium carbonate in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran or
dimethylformamide) to give pyridine-ethers of general formula 24, and then
further
reacted with methyl thioglycolate to provide the thieno[2,3-c]pyridine esters
of general
formula 25. These esters may be converted to the corresponding primary amides
of
general formula 26 by heating in methanolic ammonia solution. Alternatively,
esters of
general formula 25 may be reacted with mono or disubstituted amines in polar
solvents
such as dimethylformamide or methanol. Esters of general formula 25 were
hydrolyzed to
carboxylic acids of general formula 28 by basic hydrolysis with sodium or
lithium
hydroxide in aqueous methanol or tetrahydrofuran. The acids were then
converted to
amides of general formula 30 by reaction of the corresponding acid chlorides
of general
formula 29 with amines. Alternatively, the acids 30 were coupled to amines by
standard
peptide-coupling conditions as described in Scheme 6 for amides 22 or 23.


CA 02333770 2000-11-30
WO 99/62908 PCT/US99/1Z419
Scheme 8
Similar methods may be utilized for the preparation of 4-bromothieno[2,3-
c]pyridine 32, as shown in Scheme 8. 3,5-Dibromopyridine was converted to
aldehyde 31
by the procedure described for preparation of compound 18 in Scheme 6.
Reaction of 31
with methyl thioglycolate, for example in the presence of cesium carbonate in
DMF,
produced 4-bromothieno[2,3-c]pyridine ester 32. Bromide 32 served as starting
material
for the preparation of 4-aryl, heterocyclic, alkyl, or alkenyl derivatives of
general formula
33, using Suzuki coupling methodology as shown. Bromide 32 may also be coupled
with
terminal alkynes to provide alkynyl derivatives (R' = alkynyl) following
Sonogashira
methodology (Sonogashira, K.; Tohda, Y.; Hagihara, N. Tetrahedron Lett. 1975,
4467-70).
Esters of general formula 33 were converted to amides of general formula 34 by
the
procedures described for 26, 27 or 30 in Scheme 7.
Scheme 9
Scheme 9 shows the conversion of acids of general formula 21 to aldehyde or
ketone-derived compounds. For example, aidehydes of general formula 36 were
produced
by reduction of the N-methyl-N-methoxylamides of general formula 35. The
amides of
general formula 35 were also reacted with Grignard reagents to produce
unsymmetrical
ketones of general formula 39. Aldehydes of general formula 36 and Ketones of
general
formula 39 were utilized for the production of oximes of general formula 37 or
40 by
reaction with hydroxylamine derivatives. Aldehyde of general formula 36 were
reacted
with phosphoranes (or phosphonoacetate salts) to produce 2-alkenyl substituted
derivatives of general formula 38. Ketones of general formula 39 were reduced
to the
corresponding alkanes of general formula 41 by treatment with hydrazine and
strong base,
such as potassium hydroxide. Analogous 2-position derivatives of
thienopyridine ethers of
general formula 28 in Scheme 7 would follow similar synthetic routes as
described in
41


CA 02333770 2000-11-30
WO 99/62908 PCTNS99/12419
Scheme 9. Thus, acids 28 may be converted to aldehydes, ketones, oximes,
alkenes, or
alkanes substitutions at the 2-position.
Scheme 10
Amides of general formula 34 (or 26, 27 or 30), may be converted to the
corresponding thionoamides of general formula 42 by treatment with Lawesson's
reagent
as shown in Scheme 10.
Scheme 11
As shown in Scheme 11, 4-sulfoxides of general formula 43 were produced by
reaction of thioethers of general formula 20 with an oxidant such as
m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid under controlled conditions.
Scheme 12
Alternative functionality was introduced at the 2-position of thienopyridines
of
general formula 44 by metallation of the 2-position, followed by reaction with
appropriate
electrophiles, as shown in Scheme 12. Acids of general formula 21 (LAXA =
thioalkoxy,
alkoxy, alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, heterocyclic) were decarboxylated at elevated
temperatures
(optionally in the presence of copper powder) to afford 2-unsubstituted
derivatives of
general formula 44. Compounds of general formula 44 were deprotonated with
strong
42


CA 02333770 2000-11-30
WO 99/62908 PCT/US99/12419
organic bases such as n-butyllithium, and then reacted with electrophiles such
as borates,
cyanoformates, aldehydes, or trialkyltin chlorides according to standard
procedures
(Masakatsu, N.; Kazuhiro, N.; Ichiro, M.; Iwao; W. Chem. Lett. 1983, 6, 905-
908).
Scheme 13
Scheme 13 illustrates an alternative method for the preparation of
2-carboxaldehydes of general formula 36 or 47. Esters of general formula 20 or
25 (R' _
thioalkoxy, alkoxy, alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, heterocyclic) were reduced to the
corresponding
alcohols of general formula 46 using calcium borohydride. The alcohols were
then
oxidized to the aldehydes using Swern conditions. The aldehydes were then
reacted with
Wittig reagents (for example phosphoranes to produce the acrylate derivatives
of general
formula 48 (Jung, M. E. and Kiankarami, M. J. Org. Chem. 1998, 63, 2968-2974).
Scheme 14
As shown in Scheme 14, thienopyridines of general formula 27 or 30 were
alkylated on the pyridine nitrogen using alkyl iodides (or alkyl bromides or
triflates) to
produce the pyridinium salts of general formula 49. For example, R may be
alkylcarbonyloxymethylene, aminocarbonyloxymethylene,
alkoxycarbonyloxymethylene,
or alkyl. Such derivatives may serve as prodrug forms of the thienopyridine
amides 27 or
30.
43


CA 02333770 2000-11-30
WO 99/62908 PCT/ITS99/12419
Scheme 15
A variety of 2-aminothieno[2,3-c]pyridine derivatives were available starting
from
the 2-carboxylic acids of general formula 21 or 28, as shown in Scheme 15,
wherein R'
may be thioalkoxy, alkoxy, alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, heterocyclic. Curtius
rearrangement led to
isocyanates of general formula 50, which were reacted with alcohols (alkyl,
aryl,
heterocyclic, or dialkylaminoalkyl) to provide carbamates of general formula
51.
Isocyanates 50 may be reacted with amines (ammonia, primary alkyl or secondary
alkyl) to
provide ureas of general formula 52. Also, 50 may be reacted with alkyl or
arylmagnesium halides, or alkyl lithium salts, to provide amides of general
formula 53.
Isocyanate 50 was hydrolyzed under aqueous conditions to produce 2-amino
derivatives of
general formula 54.
Scheme 16
Amines of general formula 54 were reacted with appropriate electrophiles to
further derivatize this position. Thus reaction of 54 with aryl or
alkylsulfonyl chlorides
(R2 = alkyl, aryl, heterocyclic) or sulfamoyl chlorides, (R2 = NH2, mono- or
di-alkylamino)
to give sulfonamides of general formula 55. Amino derivative 54 was also
reacted with
acyl chlorides (RZ = alkyl, heterocyclic, or aryl) to produce amides of
general formula 53
as shown in Scheme 16.
44


CA 02333770 2000-11-30
WO 99/62908 PCT/US99/12419
Scheme 17
Functionality present on the aryl rings attached at the 4-position of the
thieno[2,3-
c]pyridines may be further reacted to advantage, as illustrated in Scheme 17.
For example,
styryl derivative 56 was converted to the 1,2-diol 57 by treatment with osmium
tetroxide
under standard conditions. The 4-(4-bromophenoxy) derivative 58 underwent
fascile
substitution with aryl boronic acids under palladium catalysis under Suzuki
conditions to
provide biaryl derivatives of general formula 59. Alternatively,
alkoxycarbonylation under
palladium catalysis efficiently provides esters of general formula 61.
Scheme 19
IS
Scheme 19 shows the use of boronic acid derivatives to functionalize the 4-
position of the thieno[2,3-cJpyridines. The chemistry depicted may be applied
to a broad
range of aryl olefins analogous to bromostyrene 62. In the case shown,
bromostyrene 62
was converted to the boronic acid 63 under standard conditions, and the
boronic acid was
coupled to 4-bromothienopyridine 32 under Suzuki conditions, affording the
styryl analog
64. The ester 64 was converted to the amide 65 by the previously described
method
(Miyara, N and Suzuki, A. Chem. Rev. 1995, 95, 2457-2463). The olefinic group
may
then be converted to the epoxide 66, which can undergo reactions with
nucleophilic


CA 02333770 2000-11-30
WO 99/62908 PCT/US99/12419
reagents at the less-hindered position of the epoxide to producing analogs of
general
formula 67. Alternatively, styryl derivative 65 may be converted to the diol
68 by standard
methods.
Scheme 20
Another method for introduction of substituents at the 4-position of the
thieno[2,3-
cJpyridines is shown in Scheme 20. Bromide 32 may be converted to the
corresponding
cuprate through the intermediate zinc bromide reagent, which then may be
reacted with
appropriate electrophiles (acid chlorides, alkyl halides, aldehydes, ketones)
to afford the
substituted compounds of general formula 69 (Zhu, L.; Wehmeyer, R. M.; Rieke,
R. D. J.
Org. Chem. 1991, 56, 1445-1453).
Scheme 21
Scheme 21 depicts the preparation of 5-halo thienopyridine derivatives, as
exemplified by the preparation of the 5-chloro analog 75. Formylation of
lithiated 2,3,5-
trichloropyridine with methyl formate gave aldehyde 72. Displacement of the 3
and 5
chlorines with excess 4-bromophenol and reaction with methylthioglycolate gave
the
5-chlorothienopyridine 74 in low yield, together with the major product 73.
The 5-chloro
isomer was treated with ammonia in methanol in a pressure tube to generate the
amide 75.
It should be noted that this chemistry may be applied using a range of phenols
or hydroxy
heterocyclic compounds in place of 4-bromophenol.

CA 02333770 2000-11-30
WO 99/62908 PCT/US99/12419
Scheme 22
The 2-position of thienopyridines was substituted with aryl, vinyl, acetylenic
or
alkyl groups using the procedure shown in Scheme 22. Boronic acids of general
formula
79 prepared according to Scheme 12, was coupled to aryl halides under
palladium catalysis
to produce 2-aryl derivatives of general formula 80.
Scheme 23
Scheme 23 illustrates the preparation of 4-acyl derivatives of thieno[2,3-
c]pyridines. Carboxylic acid 85 was converted to amide 86 via the acid
chloride, then the
hydroxyamide 86 underwent thionyl chloride-mediated cyclization to the
oxazoline 87
(Meyers, A. L; Stoianova, D. J. Org. Chem. 1997, 62, 5219-5221). Palladium
mediated
alkoxycarbonylation of 87 yielded ester 88 (Heck, R. F.; et al. J. Org. Chem.
1974, 39,
3318). Ester 88 may be converted to the Weinreb amide 89 by standard methods.
Amide
89 was reacted with the appropriate Grignard reagents to provide the desired 4-
acyl
products of general formula 90. Hydrolysis of the oxazoline and conversion of
the
resultant carboxylic acid to the amide yields the desired products of general
formula 91.

CA 02333770 2000-11-30
WO 99/62908 PC'T/US99/12419
Scheme 24
Scheme 24 depicts a proposed method for the formation of 4-hydroxy substituted
thieno[2,3-c]pyridine. Reaction of phenol 92 with dihydropyran under acidic
conditions
yields tetrahydropyranyl ether 93 (Grant, H. N., et al. Helv. Chim. Acta.
1963, 46, 41 ).
Lithiation of 93 and subsequent quench with methyl formate gives aldehyde 94.
Displacement of the halide with methyl thioglycolate and subsequent
cyclization with
cesium carbonate yields the ester 95. Removal of the tetrahydropyranyl ether
with
aqueous HCl gives hydroxypyridine 96, which may be converted to the amide as
described
previously.
Scheme 25
Scheme 25 proposes the use of the 4-hydroxy group for introduction of
functionality to the 4-position of the thieno[2,3-cJpyridines. The 2-
carboxylic acid group
is first protected as the oxazoline 99 (through the intermediate amide 98),
then the hydroxy
group is converted to the aryl triflate 100 by standard conditions. Triflate
100 may then be
converted to the N-methyl-N-methoxy amide 89 under conditions similar to that
for
bromide 87. It should be noted that 4-triflate 100 may serve as a coupling
partner in a
variety of transition-metal mediated couplings with appropriate nucleophilic
partners (for
example, boronic acids, boranes, alkyl or aryl-zinc reagents).

WO 99/62908 PCT/US99/12419
Scheme 26
Compounds with amino substitutions at the 3-position of the thieno[2,3-
c]pyridines
were prepared according to the procedures outlined in Scheme 26. Aldehyde 18
was
converted to the cyanopyridine 107 by treatment with hydroxylamine under
dehydrating
conditions. In a manner similar to the reactions involving aldehyde 18,
cyanopyridine 107
was sequentially substituted with phenols and methyl thioglycolate to provide
the 3-amino
thieno[2,3-c]pyridines of general formula 108. Esters of general formula 108
were then
converted to amides of general formula 109 by standard procedures.
Scheme 27
Scheme 27 illustrates additional derivatives which can be derived from amino
esters of general formula 108 or amino amides of general formula 109. For
example,
amino amides of general formula 109 may be treated with 1,1'-
carbonyldiimidazole to
produce cyclic imides of general formula 110. The 3-amino group was acylated
(for
example, with acid chlorides and weak base, or by coupling with acids using
carbodiimides} to give the diamides of general formula 111. The 3-amino group
may be
alkylated under reductive conditions using aldehydes and a reducing agent
(such as
triacetoxyborohydride), to provide alkylated amines of general formula 112.

WO 99/62908 PCT/US99/12419
Scheme 28
Scheme 28 shows the preparation of compounds bearing alkyl substituents at the
3-
position of the thieno[2,3-c]pyridines. Using similar chemistry to that
described for
compound 30, 3,5-dichloropyridine was deprotonated with strong base (for
example,
lithium diisopropylamide), and then reacted with an acylating reagent (ester,
N-methyl-N-
methoxyamide, acyl pyrazole, or others) to provide ketone 113. Alternatively,
the anion
can be reacted with an aldehyde (for example, acetaldehyde) and then
subsequently the
product may be oxidized (for example, with tetrapropylammonium perruthenate)
to
provide ketone 113. Following the protocol outlined for example 30, the
dichloroketone
was reacted sequentially with phenols and then with methyl thioglycolate to
provide cyclic
products of general formula 114. The esters of general formula 114 may be
converted to
various derivatives as outlined previously.
Scheme 29
Scheme 29 describes a similar strategy used to obtain derivatives with alkoxy
groups at the 3-position of thieno[2,3-c]pyridines. Ester 116 was substituted
and cyclized
to provide 3-hydroxy analogs of general formula 117. The hydroxy group may be
left
unsubstituted, leading to amides of general formula 118 (or other
derivatives).
Alternatively, hydroxy esters of general formula 117 may be alkylated by
standard
procedures to produce 3-alkoxy derivates of general formula 119, followed by
amide
formation to provide compounds of general formula 120.

Scheme 30
Scheme 30 shows the procedure used for the transformation of a commercially
available furo[2,3-b]pyridine 121 into an amide 122.
Scheme 31
Scheme 31 proposes the preparation of thienopyridine derivatives containing an
amide group at the 3-position. Thienopyridines of general formula 44 are
halogenated
using electophilic halide sources (for example, N-bromosuccinimide, I2), to
produce
3-halothienopyridines of general formula I23. Metal-halogen exchange, followed
by
trapping with carbon dioxide, provides acids of general formula 124. The acids
are
converted into amides of general formula I25 by standard procedures, or may be
homologated to esters of general formula 126 (for example, by the Arndt-Eisert
procedure}. Esters of general formula 126 may then be converted to amides or
other
functionality by the methods described above.
Scheme 32
Scheme 32 describes the methods used for the preparation of a variety of
thieno[2,3-b]pyridines starting from the known 4-chloro-5-ester 127.
Displacement of the
chlorine of I27 proceeded with thiols in the presence of potassium carbonate
to provide
4-thioethers of general formula 128. Ester 127 was also hydrolyzed to the acid
129, which
was converted to amides of general formula 130 by standard coupling
conditions.

Scheme 33
Scheme 33 shows the conversion of thioethers of general formula 128 to
2,4-disubstituted analogs. The corresponding acids of general formula 131 may
be
thermally decarboxylated to provide the 5-unsubstituted analogs of general
formula 132.
Compounds of general formula 132 were treated with strong base (for example, n-

butyllithium), and reacted with carbon dioxide to provide the 2-carboxylic
acids of general
formula 133. The acids were then transformed into amides of general formula
134 by
previously described procedures.
Scheme 34
Scheme 34 illustrates the preparation of thieno[3,2-b]pyridines. Chloride 135
was
transformed by a similar set of conditions to that described in Scheme 33 to
produce acids
of general formula 139 and amides of general formula 140.
Scheme 35
Scheme 35 depicts the preparation of thieno[3,2-c]pyridines. Starting with
thienopyridone 141, 4-oxo-4,5-dihydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridine-2-nitrite 144 was
prepared
according to literature methods (Eloy, F.; Deryckere, A. Bul. Soc. Chim. Belg.
1970, 79,
301; Troxler, F.; Wiskott. E. US Patent 3,998,835). Treatment of
thienopyridone 144 with
52


CA 02333770 2000-11-30
WO 99/62908 PCT/US99/12419
phosphoryl chloride at 130 °C provided chloride 145, which upon
exposure to thiols under
basic conditions afforded thioethers of general formula 146. Hydrolysis of the
nitrile
group with polyphosphoric acid gave the corresponding amides of general
formula 147.
Scheme 36
Scheme 36 show that ethers of general formula 149 were prepared in an
analogous
fashion as previously described in Scheme 35.
Scheme 37
Scheme 37 shows the preparation of intermediates of general formula 151 useful
for the preparation of alternative 2-derivatives. Treatment of the known 2-
bromo-4-
chlorothieno[3,2-c]pyridine 150 with 1 equivalent of a thiol afforded 2-
bromothieno[3,2-
c]pyridines of general formula 151.
Scheme 38
Scheme 38 depicts an example of the preparation of a related class of
inhibitors
based on an oxazolopyridine structure. Commercially available 3-chloropyridine
is
oxidized to the N-oxide 152 with peracetic acid, which is then nitrated in a
mixture of
concentrated nitric, concentrated sulfuric, and fuming sulfuric acids to give
the 4-nitro
derivative 153. The chlorine in 153 is then displaced with the sodium salt of
p-cresol, and
the resulting biaryl ether 154 is hydrogenated (Raney nickel catalysis) to
reduce both the
nitro functional group and the N-oxide to give 155. The amino group of 155 is
protected

WO 99/62908 PCT/US99/12419
with an N-trimethylacetyl group, and the 5-hydroxyl group is introduced
according the
procedure of Chu-Moyer and Berger (J. Org. Chem. 1995, 60, 5721 ) by formation
of the
dianion of 156, quenching with trimethyl borate, and oxidation of the
intermediate
boronate ester followed by hydrolysis with basic hydrogen peroxide to give
hydroxypyridine 157. The amide is hydrolyzed with hydrochloric acid to give
158, which
is condensed with methyl oxalyl chloride to give the oxazolapyridine 158. The
methyl
ester in 159 was then converted to the primary amide by treatment with ammonia
in
methanol to give the target compound 160.
Scheme 39
Scheme 39 illustrates an example of the preparation of an analogous
thiazolopyridine-based inhibitor. The scheme illustrates the use of para-
cresol substituted
pyridine as starting material, but the synthesis may be generalized to other
aryl,
heterocyclic, or alkyl ethers. The dianion of 4-(N-trimethylacetyl)-amino-3-(4-

methylphenoxy)-pyridine is quenched with tetramethylthiuram disulfide to
introduce the 5-
mercapto group into the substituted pyridine ring as dithiocarbamate 161.
Subsequent
deprotection of the amine under acidic conditions is followed by acylation of
the free
aniline 162 with methyl oxalyl chloride to afford the oxalamide 163. The
thiazolopyridine
bicyclic core 164 is then prepared by treatment with mild acid (for example
formic acid at
reflux). The ester functionality was converted to the corresponding amide 165
with a
solution of an amine in methanol with warming.
Scheme 40
A related imidazopyridine class of compounds may be prepared from
intermediates
shown in Scheme 40. 5-Hydraxypyridine 157 may be converted to the
corresponding
aniline 166 by heating in ammonium hydroxide saturated with sulfur dioxide in
a pressure

vessel (Newman and Galt, J. Org. Chem. 1960, 25, 214). After removal of the
pivaloyl
group of 166 with hydrochloric acid, the resulting dianunopyridine 167 may be
condensed
with methyl oxalyl chloride to give the imidazopyridine 168. The ester
functionality may
then be converted to amide 169 by treatment with ammonia in methanol, as
described
previously.
Scheme 41
Scheme 41 is an illustration of the preparation of thienopyridazine-containing
inhibitors. The protected thiophene acid 170 was deprotonated with strong base
(e.g. n-
butyllithium), and reacted with a formylating reagent. The resultant oxazoline
aldehyde
171 was hydrolyzed and cyclized with hydrazine to provide the hydroxy
thienopyridazine
172. The hydroxy group was converted to the chloride 173 by the action of
phosphorous
oxychloride and subsequent substitution by alkoxides produced the ethers 174.
The amide
group is introduced in a manner analogous to that described above for the
thienopyridines,
providing amide 176.
Scheme 42
The syntheses of water-soluble glycosyl amide derivatives of general formula
178
are shown in Scheme 42. Tributylphosphine-mediated coupling of thienopyridine
carboxylic acids of general formula 21 or 28 with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-D-
glucopyranosyl
azide with assistance of PyBOP smoothly furnished the protected (3-glycosyl
amides of
general formula 177. No other isomers were detected in the reaction. Cleavage
of the
acetyl groups with methyl amine provided compounds of general formula 178.

Scheme 43 outlines the preparation of 4-(4-aminophenoxy)thieno[2,3-c]pyridine-
2-
carboxamide using a modification of the route described in Scheme 7. A two
step
sequence was adopted for assembling the thienopyridine core in the synthesis
of 182.
Treatment of the dichloropyridine aldehyde with one equivalent of N-BOC-
protected 4-
hydroxyaniline afforded compound 179, which was cyclized to give ester 180.
Transformation to the amide 181 followed the previously described procedure,
and the
Boc-group was removed by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid. It should be
noted that
aniline 182 also serves as starting material for Sandmeyer reactions via the
diazonium salt,
in which the amino group may be converted to a variety of functional groups,
including
halo, hydroxy, cyano, among other standard Sandmeyer products.
Scheme 44
Scheme 44 exemplifies a general method for the preparation of 4-substituted
aminophenoxythieno(2,3-c)pyridines using methodology described by Buchwald, et
al.
(Wolfe, John; Buchwald, Stephen L. J. Org. Chem. 1997, 62, 6066). Iodide 183,
prepared
by the previously described methods, was coupled with disubstituted amines
(such as
morpholine in the above example) in the presence of
bis(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium and BINAP to provide the substituted
aniline 184.

Scheme 45 describes the preparation of 4-(4-hydroxymethylphenyl)thieno[2,3-
c]pyridine 188, utilizing a modification of the route shown in Scheme 7.
Starting with
mono-tritylated 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, condensation with dichloroaldehyde
18,
followed by cyclization with methyl thioglycolate, provided protected benzyl
alcohol 188.
Standard transformations provided alcohol 188.
Scheme 46
Scheme 46 describes the preparation of a protected benzyl alcohol 190,
starting
from mono-tetrahydropyran-protected hydroxybenzyl alcohol I89. Standard acid-
catalyzed hydrolysis of the THP group can also yield the benzyl alcohol analog
188.
Scheme 47
25
As shown in Scheme 47, benzyl alcohol 188 may be further derivatized to
esters,
using standard coupling procedures, for example by carbodiimide conditions
shown above,
or by use of acid chloride. In addition, the alcohol may be converted to
carbamates (R =
NH2, mono or disubstituted amino) by treatment with isocyanates or carbamoyl
chlorides.

Scheme 48
Glycosides of benzyl alcohol 187 may be produced using the procedure outlined
in
Scheme 48. Treatment of the alcohol 187 and tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal with
stoichiometric
scandium triflate afforded stereo-specifically protected glycoside 192, which
was
deprotected with methyl amine to give the free glycoside 193.
Scheme 49
Stille coupling of iodophenyl derivative 194 (or the corresponding bromophenyl
analogs) with tributylethoxyvinyltin allows for the introduction of an acetyl
group onto the
4-position of the phenyl ether as shown in Scheme 49. The intermediate vinyl
ether is
hydrolyzed during the work up conditions, thus providing acetophenone
derivative 195.
Addition of methylmagnesium bromide to ketone 195 at -50 °C did not
give the expected
addition product, but rather aldol adduct 196 was isolated in 40% yield. The
palladium
catalyzed carbonylation of bromophenoxy methyl ester 197 in aqueous media
afforded the
acid 198 in modest yield. PyBOP- or EDC-mediated coupling with amines
(illustrated
above with morpholine), followed by amination of the 2-methyl ester, provided

Hydrolysis of the
t-butyl ester with trifluoroacetic acid, followed by PyBOP or EDC-mediated
coupling with
an amine, and then amination of the methyl ester, provided diamide 201.

Scheme 51 exemplifies the preparation of 4-heterocyclephenoxythienopyridines.
Treatment of para-cyanophenyl derivative 202 with hydroxyamine in a mixture of
DMF

trifluoroacetic
anhydride in pyridine to provide the oxadiazole 204. Cyano derivative 202 was
transformed into imidazoline 205 under the conditions described above.
Incorporation of
other heterocycles was accomplished using known Stifle, Suzuki, or Heck
conditions as
exemplified by the Stifle coupling of iodo compound 194 and
tributylstannylthiophene to
provide compound 205A. The aryl coupling reactions described above may be
applied to
compounds with a variety of substituents at C-2 of the thienopyridine, in
addition to the
methyl amides exemplified in Scheme 51.

phenylcyclopropane carboxylic acid is converted to the corresponding alcohol
206 by LAH
reduction, then demethylation and selective protection of the hydroxymethyl
group affords
phenol 207. Using the procedure of Scheme 7, phenol 207 was condensed with
dichloroaldehyde 18 and then methyl thioglycolate, to produce thienopyridine
208.
Standard transformations led to the desired compounds 209 and 210.
Scheme 53
As shown in Scheme 53, alcohol 206 was alkylated to produce the polyether
phenol 211 which was converted into cyclopropylcarbinyl polyether 212 using
similar
procedures described in Scheme 52. Such alkylation chemistry may be broadly
applied by
replacement of the diether tosylate shown with other alkyl halides or
sulfonate esters.
Scheme 54
In Scheme 54, difluoroacetic acid derivative 213 was synthesized by a
copper mediated coupling between iodide 194 and ethyl iododifluoroacetate in
the
presence of phenol, which was found to remarkably inhibit side reactions.
Reduction of
the ester 213 gave difluoroethyl alcohol 214. Alkylation of alcohol 214 with
ethoxyethyl
tosylate in the presence of sodium hydride and 15-crown-5 afforded polyether

An alternative synthesis of 4-alkoxythieno[2,3-c]pyridines through a phenolic
alkylation strategy is outlined in Scheme 55. Mitsunobu alkylation of 5-chloro-
3-
hydroxypyridine provided benzyl ether 216, which was deprotonated with
alkyllithium
base and the resulting anion was treated with methyl formate to produce the
pyridine
carboxaldehyde 217. Construction of the thienopyridine core is accomplished by
condensation with methyl thioglycolate under previously described conditions,
leading to
ester 218. This method may be applied to other alkyl ethers analogous to 216
to provide a
variety of 4-alkoxy derivatives related to 218. Esters 218 were then converted
to other
active derivatives such as amides using previously described procedures.
Benzyl ether 218
was hydrogenolyzed to phenol 219, which was converted to the corresponding
amide 220
by standard procedures. Phenol 219 also serves as a partner in Mitsunobu
reactions with a
variety of primary or secondary alcohols, to provide alkyl ethers of general
formula 221
(Huang, F., et al. J. Med. Chem. 1998, 41, 4216-4223). Esters of general
formula 221
were converted to amides of general formula 222 by treatment under the
standard
conditions of reflux with methanolic amine solutions.
Scheme 56
Thienopyridine analogs bearing a 4-carbonyl group may be prepared by the
procedures described in Scheme 56. Dichloropyridine aldehyde 18 was treated
with
methyl thioglycolate under previously described conditions to produce the
4-chlorothienopyridine ester 223. Ester exchange was accomplished by base
catalyzed
hydrolysis to acid 224, and tert-butyl esterification to 225 was accomplished
with
O-t-butyl trichloroacetimidate under Lewis acid catalysis. Palladium-catalyzed
carbethoxylation proceeded under previously described conditions to give
diester 226.
Reduction/oxidation reactions led to the aldehyde 227, which was then
condensed with
61


CA 02333770 2000-11-30
WO 99/62908 PCT/US99/12419
arylmagnesium halide reagents (exemplified above with 4-chlorophenyl magnesium
chloride) to produce alcohol 228. The ester 228 may be transformed to various
2-
substituted thienopyridine analogs directly, or oxidized to the corresponding
4-keto
derivative 230. Standard transformation of ester 230 to amide 231 completes
the
synthesis. It should be noted that ester 226 may be selectively converted to
amide
derivatives by initial alkaline hydroysis of the ethyl ester, coupling to an
amine, then acidic
hydrolysis of the tert-butyl ester, and finally coupling to another amine to
produce 308.
Scheme 57
A variety of 2-substituted thieno[2,3-c~pyridines are accessible from 2-esters
of
general formula 20 and 25. Scheme 57 exemplifies products which may be
obtained from
hydroxymethyl derivatives of general formula 232. Calcium borohydride
reduction of
esters of general formula 20 or 25 provided alcohols of general formula 232.
Swern
oxidation cleanly provided aldehydes of general formula 233. This versatile
intermediate
may be converted to olefins by standard Wittig conditions, as exemplified by
the
preparation of 2-vinylthienopyridines of general formula 234 (Hibino, S. J.
Org. Chem.
1984, 49, 5006-5008). Additional modification to dihydroxyethyl compound 235

accomplished through the use of catalytic osmium tetroxide with 4-
methylmorpholine N-
oxide as stoichiometric oxidant.

which
was accomplished by Horner-Emmons condensation with trimethyl phosphonoacetate
(Jung, M. E. and Kiankarami, M. J. Org. Chem. 1998, 63, 2968-2974). The
described
methods may be extended to analogs bearing a wide variety of C-4 substituents,
including
aryloxy, alkoxy, arylamino, aryl, alkyl. The derived ester 236 was then
subjected to
hydrolysis to provide acid 237. Carboxylic acid 237 was subjected to standard
coupling
conditions to produce amide 238. The derived acrylates of general formula 239
may be
oxidized to the corresponding diols of general formula 240 with catalytic
osmium
tetroxide in the presence of 4-methylmorpholine-N-oxide.
Scheme 59
Scheme 59 illustrates the use of aldehyde 233, with LAXA=aryloxy, as starting
material for the preparation of oxime derivatives of general formula 241. The
strategy
outlined is generally applicable to analogs with a variety of LAXA
substituents. Aldehydes
of general formula 233 were also reacted with organomagnesium (or
organolithium)
reagents to produce secondary alcohols which were oxidized to the
corresponding ketones
of general formula 242. Oxidation is preferably accomplished by standard Swern
conditions (DMSO and oxalyl chloride in CHZC12 solution at low temperature,
followed by
treatment with tertiary amines such as ethyldiisopropyl amine), but other
conditions (tetra-
n-propyl perruthenate, manganese dioxide) may be employed. The ketones were
then
converted to oximes of general formula 243 by previously described methods.

trifluoroacetic anhydride in pyridine to smoothly produce nitrites of general
formula 244,
which serves as a convenient intermediate for the preparation of amidine and
azole
derivatives. Thus, nitrites of general formula 244 were converted to the
amidoximes of
general formula 245 by treatment with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and
triethylamine.
Reaction of amidoximes of general formula 245 with acetyl chloride,
trifluoroacetic
anhydride, triethylorthoformate or trichloroacetyl chloride in pyridine
produced the
oxadiazoles of general formula 246 with variations in X dictated by the choice
of
acylating/dehydrating reagent. The trichloromethyl oxadiazoles of general
formula 246
(X=CCl3) were converted to the 5-amino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles of general formula
247 by
heating with ammonia in a sealed tube. Nitrites of general formula 244 were
also
converted to cyanoamidines of general formula 248 when subjected to excess
cyanamide
in THF with DBU as the base. The 3-amino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles of general formula

Tin(II)-induced reduction of the nitrophenyls to the anilines of general
formula 251 were
followed by selective alcohol oxidation with pyridinium chlorochromate. The
nitro benzyl
alcohols of general formula 250 were also converted to the corresponding

deprotection
with hydrazine. The amines of general formula 254 were converted to the
corresponding
ureas of general formula 255 by reaction with potassium isocyanate under
acidic
conditions. Similarly, the alcohols of general formula 232 were converted to
the
corresponding carbamates of general formula 256. This chemistry is generally
applicable

disubstituted carbamates or ureas.

Compounds 44 were deprotonated with strong base, then treated with sulfur
dioxide to
produce intermediate sulfinic acids. Addition of N-chlorosuccinimide produced
sulfonyl
chlorides of general formula 258, from which a variety of sulfonamides of

presence
of diisopropylethylamine in protic solvents such as methanol (Prugh, J. D., et

coupling of boronic acids of general formula 79 with nitro-substituted aryl
iodides
produced biaryls of general formula 260. Biaryls of general formula 260 were
reduced to
the ammophenyl derivatives of general formula 261 with tin(II) chloride.
Methyl ethers of

cyanogen
bromide. Hydrazides of general formula 264 may be converted to 5-unsubstituted

general
formula 267. Nonspecific methylation was performed on 1,3,4 triazoles of
general
formula 267 using sodium hydride and methyl iodide, which provided mono-methyl

Scheme 68 indicates a method for the preparation of 1,3,4-thiadiazoles of
general
formula 272. The acid chlorides derived from acids of general formula 21 or 28
were
reacted with thiosemicarbazide or substituted thiosemicarbazides to give
intermediate
acylated thiosemicarbazides of general formula 271, which were cyclized under
acid
catalysis (for example methanesulfonic acid in refluxing toluene) to provide
thiadiazoles
of general formula 272.

Scheme 69
Scheme 69 provides a method for the preparation of 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-thiones
and
the derived alkylthio-substituted oxadiazoles of general formula 274.
I~ydrazides of
general formula 264 were treated with carbon disulfide in potassium hydroxide
in aqueous
ethanol solution to give the cyclic thiocarbamates of general formula 273. The
thiocarbonyl group was alkylated in low yield with alkyl halides to give the
alkylthio
1,3,4-oxadiazoles of general formula 274.
Scheme 70
Scheme 70 shows the preparation of tetrazoles at the 2-position of
thienopyridines.
2-Cyano derivatives of general formula 244 were converted to tetrazoles of
general
formula 275 using trimethylsilyl azide in the presence of catalytic dibutyltin
oxide. The
tetrazoles were converted to the N-methyl derivatives of general formula 276
by use of a
solution of diazomethane in methanol.
Scheme 71
Scheme 71 illustrates the syntheses of 2-oxazole and 2-imidazole
thienopyridines.
Chloroethyl amides of general formula 277 were prepared by chlorination of the
corresponding hydroxyethyl amides and then cyclized to oxazolines of general
formula
278 under basic catalysis (for example, diazabicycloundecane in
dichloromethane). The
oxazolines of general formula 278 may be converted to the oxazoles of general
formula
68

278 by dehydrogenation according to the procedure of Meyers (Meyers, A. L, et
al. J.
Amer. Chem. Soc. 1975, 97, 7383). Aminoethyl amides of general formula 280
were
cyclized to the imidazolines of general formula 281 by treatment with calcium
oxide at
high temperature in diphenyl ether. Imidazolines of general formula 28I may be
converted to imidazoles of general formula 282 by literature methods (Hughey,
J. L., et al.
Synthesis [SYNTBF] 1980, (6), 489).
Scheme 72
In Scheme 72, an improved preparation of 3-alkyl-substituted thienopyridines
of
general formula 115 is disclosed. Aldehyde 18 was condensed with preformed
potassium
phenoxides to produce a mixture of mono- and disubstituted aryloxyaldehydes.
This
mixture was then reacted with the desired Grignard reagent, followed by a
Swern
oxidation of the resultant mixture of secondary alcohols to give the desired
aryloxy ketone
compounds. The mixture of aryloxy ketones were further reacted with methyl
thioglycolate in the presence of cesium carbonate to provide the 2,3,4-
trisubstituted
thieno[2,3-c]pyridine esters of general formula 1 I4. These esters were
converted to the
corresponding acids by hydrolysis with lithium hydroxide, and then the acids
were coupled
with various amines, for example by carbodiimides, to give the desired amides
of general
formula 115.
Scheme 73
Scheme 73 provides a synthesis for 3-carboxythienopyridines.
Using methodology analogous to that described for the preparation of 20 or 25,
3,5-
dichloropyridine was treated with strong base such as lithium diisopropylamide
in
anhydrous ethereal solvent at low temperature, followed by the addition of t-
butyl
chlorooxoacetate to provide the
69


CA 02333770 2000-11-30
WO 99/62908 PC'T/US99/12419
4-tert-butyl-2-ketoester of 3,5-dichloropyridine 283. The ester 283 was then
reacted with
1.25 equivalents of preformed potassium phenoxides at ambient temperature, to
give the
monoaryloxy derivatives as the main product. Without purification, the
monoaryloxy
esters were treated with methyl thioglycolate and base such as potassium t-
butoxide or
cesium carbonate to provide the desired thienopyridine diesters of general
formula 284.
The diesters of general formula 284 were then treated with methanoIic amines
to give the
corresponding 3-tert-butyl ester amides of general formula 285. The tert-butyl
ester
amides of general formula 285 were converted to the corresponding acid amides
of general
formula 287 by solvolysis with trifluoroacetic acid. Diesters of general
formula 284 may
also be converted to the acids of general formula 286 by a similar solvolysis
reaction.
Scheme 74
Scheme 74 describs the use of 4-bromothienopyridine 32 to prepare 4-amino
substituted thienopyridine derivatives. Ester 32 was converted to amides of
general
formula 288 by standard procedures, and then coupled to a variety of amines
using
palladium(0) catalysis, as described by Buchwald (J. Org. Chem. 1997, 62, 6066-
6068),
producing 4-amino derivatives of general formula 289.
Scheme 75
Scheme 75 outlines the preparation and reactions of 7-chloro and 7-
bromothienopyridine derivatives. The analogs are useful for preparing active
derivatives
as well as serving as synthetic intermediates for a variety of 7-substituted
thienopyridines.
Esters of general formula 25 were oxidized to the pyridine-N-oxides of general
formula
290 with meta-chloroperbenzoic acid. The N-oxides were rearranged to the 7-
halo
derivatives of general formula 291 by warming in phosphorous oxychloride or


CA 02333770 2000-11-30
WO 99/62908 PCT/US99/12419
phosphorous oxybromide. The resultant 7-halides could be converted to the
amide
derivatives of general formula 292 by standard methods without reaction of the
7-chloro or
7-bromo moieties. However, under more forcing conditions, the chloro or bromo
groups
could be substituted with amines or alcohols to provide 7-amino derivatives of
general
formula 293 and 7-alkoxy derivatives of general formula 294 respectively.
Esters of
general formula 294 were converted to amides of general formula 295 using
standard
methods. 7-Hydroxy analogs of general formula 296 were prepared from 291
derivatives
using acetic anhydride followed by hydrolysis with water. In addition, the 7-
halo
derivatives 291, in particular the 7-bromo derivatives, were effective educts
in Suzuki
reactions with aryl boronic acids, similar to those described in Scheme 19 and
65.
Scheme 76
Scheme 76 describes the preparation of furopyridine analogs such as 299
(Example
327). By a procedure analogous to that of the preparation of 20 or 25,
diehloropyridinecarboxaldehyde 18 was reacted sequentially with a potassium
phenoxide,
then with ethyl glycolate, followed by cyclization under basic conditions,
affording
furopyridine ester 298 in low yield. Standard hydrolysis and coupling
conditions afforded
the amide 299. The amide was converted to the thioamide 300 by treatment with
Lawesson's reagent in hot toluene.
Scheme 77
Scheme 77 illustrates the preparation N-alkyl 5-amino-1,3,4,-oxadiazoles. The
treatment of 265 in refluxing trimethylorthoformate followed by reduction of
the eneamine
intermediate with sodium borohydride in refluxing ethanol provides the N-
alkylated 5-
amino-1,3,4,-oxadiazoles of general formula 301.

Scheme 78
Scheme 78 exemplifies the synthesis of substituted vinyl moieties at the 4-
position
of thienopyridines. Treatment of aldehyde 227 with the appropriate
diethylphosphonate in
the presence of potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide provided 302. Compound 302
was
then treated with sulfuric acid in methanol to yield the methyl ester 303,
followed by
standard amide formation with ammonia and methanol to produce 4-
vinylsubstituted
thienopyridines of general formula 304. Installation of a substituted vinyl
can also be
accomplished by using Wittig phosphorane chemistry.
Scheme 79
20
Scheme 79 demonstrates the preparation of 4-substituted alkyl thienopyridines.
Alcohol 228 was subjected to palladium on carbon in acetic acid to generate
the methylene
derivative 305. Treatment of 305 with sulfuric acid in methanol yields 306.
Formation of
the amide is accomplished by treatment of 306 with ammonia in methanol to
yield 307
Scheme 80
Scheme 80 illustrates the preparation of thiazole derivatives at the 2-
position of
thienopyridines. Thioamides of general formula 309 were alkylated and cyclized
with
ethyl bromopyruvate, providing thiazole esters of general formula 310.
Standard amide
formation led to amides of general formula 311.. Other amines may be used to
produce a
72


CA 02333770 2000-11-30
WO 99/62908 PCT/US99112419
variety of substituted amides. In addition, esters of general formula 310 may
be converted
to carbamates of general formula 312 through Curtius rearrangement of the
intermediate
acid. The tert-butyl carbamates of general formula 312 were converted to the
primary
amines of general formula 313 by the action of trifluoroacetic acid.
Scheme 81
Scheme 81 outlines an alternative method for preparing 3-substituted
thienopyridines, wherein Ar = unsubstituted or substituted aryl, or
heterocycle, and R =
alkyl, alkoxy, substituted alkyl, aryl, arylalkyl. Aldehyde 18 was reacted
with the
appropriate organomagnesium halide, to give an intermediate secondary alcohol,
which
was oxidized to the corresponding ketone 314. The method of oxidation was the
Swern
procedure, although other standard oxidations of this type may be employed
(e.g PCC,
TPAP). The procedure then follows that previously described for the 3-
unsubstituted
analogs, leading to ester 315. Ester 315 then served as starting material for
the preparation
of amides, or other heterocyclic derivatives at the 2-position of the
thienopyridines.
Scheme 82
Scheme 82 describes a method for producing cyclic derivatives between the 2-
and
3-positions of thienopyridines. 3-Methyl derivative 115 was treated with N-
bromosuccinimide (or alternatively N-chlorosuccinimide) in carbon
tetrachloride to give
bromomethyl (or chloromethyl) compound 316 (X= Br, Cl). Compound 316 can then
be
reacted with a primary amine, through alkylation and acylation, leading to the
tricyclic
lactam 317. Compound 316 may also be treated with sodium alkoxides or
aryloxides R'' _
alkyl, aryl, or heterocycle) leading to the 3-position extended alkoxymethyl
derivatives
73

318. These esters in turn can be reacted with substituted amines to yield the
corresponding
amides 319.

Example 73 Methyl 4-(4-Bromophenoxy)thienof2 3-clpyridine-2 carboxylate
To a solution of 4-bromophenol (4.94 g., 28.55 mmol) in anhydrous
tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere was added dropwise a
solution of
potassium t-butoxide (1 M solution in THF, 28.6 mL, 28.6 mmol). The reaction
mixture
was stirred at ambient temperature for 30 minutes, then a solution of Example
17A (2 g,
11.4 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) was added and refluxed for 8
hours.
The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to 25 °C, methyl thioglycolate
( 1.23 mL, 13.7
mmol) was added and refluxed for 15 minutes. The cooled reaction mixture was
diluted
with ethyl acetate (300 mL) and partitioned with an ice cold solution of 1 N
NaOH (3x75
mL). The organic layer was washed with brine (3x100 mL), dried (MgS04) and
solvents
were removed under reduced pressure to obtain the crude product (4.2 g). This
was
purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 10% acetone-hexane
to obtain
the title compound ( 1.81 g) in 44% yield.

A solution of lithium diisopropylamide (7.3 mL, 1.5 M in cyclohexane, 11 mmol)
in 10 mL of dry THF under nitrogen at -78 °C was treated with 2,3,5-
trichloropyridine (2
g, 11 mmol) in 20 mL THF over a 30 minute period, stirred an additional 30
minutes, then
methyl formate ( 1.4 mL, 1.3 g, 22 mmol) in 14 mL THF was added slowly to the
brown
solution over 1 S minutes, allowed to slowly warm to room temperature and
stirred
overnight. The resultant dark brown solution was poured onto ice and saturated
NaHC03,
extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with brine, dried (NazS04) and
concentrated. The
brown oil was flash chromatographed on silica gel with 20-33% ethyl
acetate/hexane to
provide the title compound ( 1.7g, 74%).
