PGD2 RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS FOR THE TREATMENT OF INFLAMMATORY DISEASES
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] CRTH2 is a G protein-coupled chemoattractant receptor expressed on Th2
cells (Nagata
et al., J. Immuraol., 1999, 162, 1278-1286), eosinophils, and basophils (Hirai
et al., J. Exp. Med.,
2001, 193, 255-261). Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) is a natural ligand for CRTH2,
and is the major
inflammatory mediator produced from mast cells. It has been shown that
activation of CRTH2 by
PGD2 induces migration and activation of Th2 cells (Hirai et al., J. Exp. Med.
2001, 193, 255-261;
Gervais et al., J. Allergy Clin. Irnrnunol. 2001, 108, 982-988) which in turn
are involved in the
orchestration of an allergic inflammatory response by directly or indirectly
inducing migration,
activation, priming and prolonged survival of effector cells, such as
eosinophils and basophils (Sanz
et al., J. Imrnunol. 1998, 160, 5637-5645; Pope et al., J. Allergy Clin.
Immunol. 2001, 108, 594-601;
Teran L. M., Clin. Exp. Allergy 1999, 29, 287-290). The role of PGD2 in the
initiation and
maintenance of allergic inflammation has also been demonstrated in mouse
models of asthma by
showing that overproduction of PGD2 in vivo by PGD2 synthase exacerbates
airway inflammation
(Fujitani et al., J. Immunol. 2002,168, 443-449).
[0002] Accordingly, compounds which are modulators, preferably inhibitors, of
the interaction
between CRTH2 and PGD2 should be useful for the treatment of diseases and
disorders that are
mediated by CRTH2, PGD2, Th2 cells, eosinophils, and/or basophils. These
diseases include but are
not limited to allergic disorders, asthmatic disorders, and inflammatory
disorders such as allergic
rhinitis, allergic asthma, bronchoconstriction, atopic dermatitis and systemic
inflammatory disorders.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Compounds of this invention, and pharmaceutically acceptable
compositions thereof, are
effective as inhibitors of the interaction between CRTH2 and its natural
ligand PGD2. Thus,
compounds of the invention and pharmaceutical compositions thereof are useful
for treating
inflammatory disorders and/or disorders with an inflammatory component.

[0048] Specific examples of compounds of general formula I are shown in the
Exemplification
Section herein.
[0049] It will be understood that the immediately following definitions and
description apply to
compounds of general formula I (and subsets thereof described above in this
section 1 entitled
"Description of Compounds of Gerteral Formula 1 (and subsets thereo,~" As used
herein, the
following definitions shall apply unless otherwise indicated. For purposes of
this invention, the
chemical elements are identified in accordance with the Periodic Table of the
Elements, CAS version,
Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 75''' Ed. Additionally, general principles
of organic chemistry
are described in "Organic Chemistry", Thomas Sorrell, University Science
Books, Sausalito: 1999,

March, J., John Wiley &
Sons, New York: 2001.
[0050] Many of the disclosed CRTH2 inhibitors contain one or more chiral
centers. The presence
of chiral centers in a molecule gives rise to stereoisomers. For example, a
pair of optical isomers,
referred to as "enantiomers", exist for every chiral center in a molecule; and
a pair of diastereomers
exist for every chiral center in a compound having two or more chiral centers.
Even though Structural
Formulas (1]-(VIII) do not explicitly depict stereochemistry, it is to be
understood that these formulas .
encompass enantiomers free from the corresponding optical isomer, racemic
mixtures, mixtures
enriched in one enantiomer relative to its corresponding optical isomer, a
diastereomer free of other
diastereomers, a pair of diastereomers free from other diasteromeric pairs,
mixtures of diasteromers,
mixtures of diasteromeric pairs, mixtures of diasteromers in which one
diastereomer is enriched
relative to the other diastereomer(s) and mixtures of diasteromeric pairs in
which one diastereomeric
pair is enriched relative to the other diastereomeric pair(s).
[0051] A preferred diastereomeric pair is when RZ and NR"R3 in Structural
Formulas (1)-(VIII)
are cis relative to one another. By way of example, the cis diastereomeric
pair for the compound
represented by Structural Formula (II) is shown below in Structural Formulas
(I~ and (X):

[0052] The preferred configuration for Rz and NR"R3 (depicted by N(R3)(COR4)
in Structural
Formulas (IX) and (X) is (2R, 4S), as shown in Structural Formula (IX). Thus,
Structural Formula
(IX) represents a preferred optical isomer for the compound represented by
Struetural Formula (II).
Similarly, the corresponding (2R,4S) optical isomer for the compounds
represented by Structural
Formulas (I) and (III)- (VIII) and Tables 1-6 are also specifically disclosed.
The more preferred
configuration for R2 and NR"R3 (depicted by N(R3)(COR4)) in Structural
Formulas (IX) and (X) is
(2S, 4R), , as shown in Structural Formula (~. Thus, Structural Formula (X)
represents a more
preferred optical isomer for the compound represented by Structural Formulas
(n and (III)-(VIIn
and in Tables 1- 6.
[0053] As used herein, a structure depicting one optical isomer or a reference
to one optical
isomer is meant to include enantiomeric mixtures which are enriched with the
depicted or referenced
enantiomer relative to its optical isomer, for example, an enantiomeric excess
of at least 50%, 75%,
90%, 95% 99% or 99.5%. As used herein, a structure depicting a diastereomeric
pair or a reference to
one diasteromeric pair is meant to include mixtures which are enriched with
the depicted or
referenced diastereomeric pair relative to other diastereomers or
diastereomeric pairs) for the
compound, for example, a molar excess of at least 50%, 75%, 90%, 95% 99% or
99.5%.
[0054] The enantiomers of the present invention may be resolved by methods
known to those
skilled in the art, for example by formation of diastereoisomeric salts which
may be separated, for
example, by crystallization; formation of diastereoisomeric derivatives or
complexes which may be
separated, for example, by crystallization, gas-liquid or liquid
chromatography; selective reaction of
one enantiomer with an enantiomer-specific reagent, for example enzymatic
esterification; or gas-
liquid or liquid chromatography in a chiral environment, for example on a
chiral support for example
silica with a bound chiral ligand or in the presence of a chiral solvent.
Where the desired enantiomer
is converted into another chemical entity by one of the separation procedures
described above, a
further step is required to liberate the desired enantiomeric form.
Alternatively, specific enantiomers
may be synthesized by asymmetric synthesis using optically active reagents,
substrates, catalysts or
solvents, or by converting one enantiomer into the other by asymmetric
transformation.

[00127] Compounds of general formula I-A (and subsets thereof as described
directly above in
section 2) include those described generally above, and are further
illustrated by the classes,
subclasses, and species disclosed above and herein. As used herein, the
following definitions shall
apply unless otherwise indicated. For purposes of this invention, the chemical
elements are identified
in accordance with the Periodic Table of the Elements, CAS version, Handbook
of Chemistry and
Physics, 75"' Ed. Additionally, general principles of organic chemistry are
described in "Organic
Chemistry", Thomas Sorrell, University Science Books, Sausalito: 1999, and
"March's Advanced
Organic Chemistry", 5''' Ed., Ed.: Smith, M. B. and March, J., John Wiley &
Sons, New York: 2001.
[00128] The term "alkylene" as used herein means a straight chained
hydrocarbon which is
completely saturated. An alkylene group is typically Cl_lo, more typically
Cl_6. more preferably from
Cl_5 and more preferably from C~_3. A "substituted alkylene" is an alkylene
group in which one or
more methylene hydrogen atoms are replaced with a substituent. Suitable
substituents are as
described below for a substituted alkyl group. Preferred substituents for the
alkylene group
represented by T are fluoro, methyl, gem dimethyl, gem difluoro fluoromethyl,
spiro cyclopropyl,
spiro cyclobutyl, optionally N-substituted spiro azetidinyl, optionally N-
substituted spiro aziridinyl,
optionally N substituted spiro pyrrolidinyl, optionally N-substituted spiro
piperidinyl, amine,
methylamine, dimethylamine, or hydroxyl. A "substitutable alkylene carbon
atom" is an alkylene
carbon atom that is bonded to one or more hydrogen atoms. The hydrogen atoms
can therefore
optionally be replaced with the substituent.
[00129] The terms "alkyl", "hydroxyalkyl", "carboxyalkyl", "haloalkyl",
"alkylamine",
"dialkylamine", used alone or as part of a larger moiety include both straight
and branched saturated
chains containing one to ten carbon atoms, preferably one to six, more
preferably one to five, and
even more preferably one to three.
[00130] The term "allyl" as used herein has the formula -CHZCH=CHz, and may be
optionally
substituted at any substitutable carbon atom. A "substitutable allyl carbon
atom" is an allyl carbon
atom that is bonded to one or more hydrogen atoms. The hydrogen atom can
therefore optionally be
replaced with the substituent. Suitable substituents are as described for
alkyl group.
[00131] The terms "gem dialkyl", and "gem dihalo" includes compounds where two
alkyl
substituents or two halo substituents, respectively, are attached to the same
carbon atom, e.g., -
C(CH3)z- or C(F)z-.

[00132] A "spiro cycloalkyl" or "spiro non-aromatic heterocyclic" group is a
cycloalkyl or non-
aromatic heterocyclic group which shares one ring carbon atom with a carbon
atom in an alkylene
group or alkyl group.
[00133] The terms "non-aromatic carbocyclic" or "cycloaliphatic" shall include
cyclic C3_io
hydrocarbons which are completely saturated or which contain one or more units
of unsaturation, but
which are not aromatic. Cycloaliphatic groups are typically C3_io, more
typically C3_~.
[00134] "Alkoxy" means (alkyl)-O-; "haloallcoxy", means (halide)-O-;
"alkoxyalkylene" means
.(alkyl)-O-(alkylene) such as methoxymethylene (CH30CH2); "hydroxyalkyl" means
hydroxy
substituted alkyl group, acylated means "-C(O)-(alkyl)".
[00135] The term "heteroatom" means nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur and includes
any oxidized form
of nitrogen and sulfur, and the quaternized form of any basic nitrogen. Also
the term "nitrogen"
includes a substitutable nitrogen of a heterocyclic ring. As an example, in a
saturated or partially
unsaturated ring having 0-3 heteroatoms selected from oxygen, sulfur or
nitrogen, the nitrogen may be
N (as in 3~4-dihydro-2H-pyrrolyl), NH (as in pyrrolidinyl) or NR+ (as in N-
substituted pyrrolidinyl).
[00136] The term "aromatic group", includes carbocyclic aromatic ring groups
and heteroaryl ring
groups. The term "aromatic group" may be used interchangeably with the terms
"aryl", "aryl ring" or
"aromatic ring".
[00137] Carbocyclic aromatic ring groups have only carbon ring atoms and
include monocyclic
aromatic rings such as phenyl and fused polycyclic aromatic ring systems in
which two or more
carbocyclic aromatic rings are fused to one another. Examples include 1-
naphthyl, 2-naphthyl, 1-
anthracyl and 2-anthracyl. Also included within the scope of the term
"carbocyclic aromatic ring", as
it is used herein, is a group in which an aromatic ring is fused to one or
more non-aromatic rings
(aliphatic or heterocyclic), such as in an indanyl, phthalimidyl,
naphthimidyl, phenantriidinyl; or
tetrahydronaphthyl, where the radical or point of attachment is on the
aromatic ring.
[00138] The term "heteroaryl" or "heteroaromatic", refers to heteroaromatic
ring groups having
five to fourteen members, including monocyclic heteroaromatic rings and
polycyclic aromatic rings in

herein, is a group in
which a heteroaryl ring is fused to one or more cycloaliphatic or non-aromatic
heterocyclic groups
-42

where the radical or point of attachment is on the heteroaromatic ring.
Examples include
tetrahydroquinolinyl, tetrahydroisoquinolinyl, and pyrido [3, 4-d]
pyrimidinyl. The term "heteroaryl"
may be interchangeably with the term "heteroaryl ring" or the term
"heteroaromatic".
[00140] The term "non-aromatic heterocyclic group", or "non-aromatic
heterocyclic ring" refers
to non-aromatic ring systems typically having three to fourteen members,
preferably three to six, in
which one or more ring carbons, preferably one to four, are each replaced by a
heteroatom such as N,
O, or S. Examples of non-aromatic heterocyclic rings include 3-
tetrahydrofuranyl, 2-
tetrahydropyranyl, 3-tetrahydropyranyl, 4-tetrahydropyranyl, [1,3]-dioxalanyl,
[1,3]-dithiolanyl, [1,3]-

[00141,] A "substituted aromatic group" is an aromatic group with a
substituent at one or more
substitutable ring carbon atoms or ring nitrogen atoms. Each substituent is
independently selected.
Examples of suitable substituents on an unsaturated carbon atom or
substitutable carbon atom of an
aromatic group, are as described above for Rz, R", and R14.
[00142] A. "substitutable ring carbon atom" in an aromatic ring (including the
aromatic groups
represented by Ring A, phenyl ring A, R' and R3) is a ring carbon atom that is
bonded to a hydrogen
atom. The hydrogen atom can therefore optionally be replaced with the
substituent. The term
"substitutable ring carbon atom" in an aromatic ring therefore excludes ring
carbon atoms that.are
fused with other rings or that are depicted as already being bonded to a
substituent.
[00143] , An alkyl group or a non-aromatic carbocycle or heterocycle may
contain one or more
substituents on any substitutable carbon atom. A "substitutable alkyl carbon
atom" is an alkyl carbon
atom that is bonded to one or more hydrogen atoms. The hydrogen atoms can
therefore optionally be
replaced with the substituent. Examples of suitable substituents on the
saturated carbon of an alkyl
group or a non-aromatic heterocycle include those listed above for the
unsaturated carbon of an
aromatic group and, at the internal carbon atoms of an alkyl group or on ring
carbon atoms of a non-
aromatic heterocyclic group, the following: =O, =S, =NNHR*, =NN(R*)2,
=NNHC(O)R*,
=NNHCOZ(alkyl), =NNHSOZ (alkyl), or =NR*. Each R* is independently selected
from hydrogen, an
unsubstituted alkyl group or a substituted alkyl group. Examples of
substituents on the alkyl group
represented by R* include amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, aminocarbonyl,
halogen, alkyl,
allcylaminocarbonyl, dialkylaminocarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyloxy,
dialkylaminocarbonyloxy,
alkoxy, vitro, cyano, carboxy, alkoxycarbonyl, alkylcarbonyl, hydroxy,
haloalkoxy, or haloalkyl.

RIZ is hydrogen,
an alkyl group, a substituted alkyl group, phenyl (Ph), substituted Ph, -
O(Ph), substituted -O(Ph),
CHz(Ph), or an unsubstituted heteroaryl or non-aromatic heterocyclic ring.
Examples of substituents
on the alkyl group or the phenyl ring represented by Rlz include amino,
alkylamino, dialkylamino,
aminocarbonyl, halogen, alkyl, alkylaminocarbonyl, dialkylaminocarbonyloxy,
alkoxy, nitro, cyano,

"substitutable ring
nitrogen atom" in a heteroaryl or nitrogen-containing non-aromatic
heterocyclic group is a ring
nitrogen atom that is bonded to a hydrogen atom. The hydrogen atom can
therefore optionally be
replaced with the substituent. The term "substitutable ring nitrogen atom"
therefore excludes ring
nitrogen atoms that are depicted as already being bonded to a substituent, and
ring nitrogen atoms that
are ring atoms in two fused rings (as in, e.g., indolizine) and ring nitrogen
atoms that have three
covalent bonds to other ring atoms (as e.g., pyridine).
[00145] In certain instances compounds of the present invention may associated
in isolated fornn
with solvent or water, as in a "solvate" or "hydrate". References to the
disclosed compounds or
structural formulas depicting the disclosed compounds are meant to include
such solvates and
hydrates.
[00146] 3. Uses, Fonnulatian azzd Adrninistratiorz
[00147] As discussed above, the present invention provides compounds that are
useful as
inhibitors of CRTH2, and thus the present compounds are useful for treating
(therapeutically or
prophylactically) disorders with an inflammatory component and allergic
conditions. They can also
be used to inhibit inflammatory disorders and allergic conditions mediated by
°Th2 cells, eosinophils
and basophils.
[00148] Accordingly, in another aspect of the present invention,
pharmaceutically acceptable
compositions are provided, wherein these compositions comprise any of the
compounds as described
herein, and optionally comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier,
adjuvant or vehicle. In certain
embodiments, these compositions optionally further comprise one or more
additional therapeutic
agents.
[00149] It will also be appreciated that certain of the compounds of present
invention can exist in
free form for treatment, or where appropriate, as a pharmaceutically
acceptable derivative thereof.
According to the present invention, a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative
includes, but is not
limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs, salts, esters, salts of such
esters, or any other adduct
or derivative which upon administration to a patient in need is capable of
providing, directly or
indirectly, a compound as otherwise described herein, or a metabolite or
residue thereof.

[00150] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to
those salts which
are, within the scope of sound medical judgement, suitable for use in contact
with the tissues of
humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response
and the like, and are
commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable
salts are well known
in the art. For example, S. M. Berge et al., describe pharmaceutically

Phannaceutical Sciezzces, 1977, 66, 1-19, incorporated herein by reference.
Pharmaceutically
acceptable salts of the compounds of this invention include those derived from
suitable inorganic and
organic acids and bases. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic
acid addition salts are
salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid,
hydrobromic acid,
phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and perchloric acid or with organic acids such
as acetic acid, oxalic
acid, malefic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid or malonic acid
or by using other methods
used in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts

Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth
metal, ammonium and N+(Ci-
4alkyl)4 salts. This invention also envisions the quaternization of any basic
nitrogen-containing groups
of the compounds disclosed herein. Water or oil-soluble or dispersable
products may be obtained by
such quaternization. Representative alkali or alkaline earth metal salts
include sodium, lithium,
potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. Further pharmaceutically
acceptable salts include, when
appropriate, nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed
using
counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate,
nitrate, loweralkyl sulfonate
and aryl sulfonate.
[00151] As described above, the pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of
the present
invention additionally comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier,
adjuvant, or vehicle, which, as
used herein, includes any and all solvents, diluents, or other liquid vehicle,
dispersion or suspension
aids, surface active agents, isotonic agents, thickening or emulsifying
agents, preservatives, solid
binders, lubricants and the like, as suited to the particular dosage form
desired. Remington's
Pharmaceutical Sciences, Sixteenth Edition, E. W. Martin (Mack Publishing Co.,
Easton, Pa., 190)
discloses various carriers used in formulating pharmaceutically acceptable
compositions and known
techniques for the preparation thereof. Except insofar as any conventional
carrier medium is
incompatible with the compounds of the invention, such as by producing any
undesirable biological

effect or otherwise interacting in a deleterious manner with any other
components) of the
pharmaceutically acceptable composition, its use is contemplated to be within
the scope of this
invention. Some examples of materials which can serve as pharmaceutically
acceptable carriers
include, but are not limited to, ion exchangers, alumina, aluminum stearate,
lecithin, serum proteins,
such as human serum albumin, buffer substances such as phosphates, glycine,
sorbic acid, or
potassium sorbate, partial glyceride mixtures of saturated vegetable fatty
acids, water, salts or
electrolytes, such as protamine sulfate, disodium hydrogen phosphate,
potassium hydrogen phosphate,

toxic compatible lubricants such as sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium
stearate, as well as coloring
agents, releasing agents, coating agents, sweetening, flavoring and perfuming
agents, preservatives
and antioxidants can also be present in the composition, according to the
judgment of the formulator.
[00152] In another aspect, a method for the treatment of an inflammatory
disease or a disease with
an inflammatory component is provided comprising administering an effective
amount of a
compound, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof to a subject in need
thereof. Compounds and
compositions of the invention are inhibitors of CRTH2, and thus, without
wishing to be bound by any
particular theory, the compounds and compositions are particularly useful for
treating or lessening the
severity of a disease, condition, or disorder where activation of one or more
of CRTH2, PGD2
(including DP activity), Th2 cells, eosinophils, and/or basophils is
implicated in the disease,
condition, or disorder. When activation of one or more of CRTH2, PGD2
(including DP activity), Th2
cells, eosinophils, and/or basophils is implicated in a particular disease,
condition, or disorder, the
disease, condition, or disorder may also be referred to as a "CRTH2-mediated
disease" or disease
symptom. Accordingly, in another aspect, the present invention provides a
method for treating or
lessening the severity of a disease, condition, or disorder where activation
of one or more of CRTH2,
PGD2 (including DP activity), Th2 cells, eosinophils, and/or basophils is
implicated in the disease
state.
[00153] In certain embodiments of the present invention an "effective amount"
of the compound
or pharmaceutically acceptable composition is that amount effective for
treating an inflammatory
disease or disease with an inflammatory component. In other embodiments, an
"effective amount" of
-46-

CA 02561564 2006-09-27
WO 2005/100321 PCT/US2005/011643
a compound is an amount which inhibits binding of PGD2 to its receptor CRTH2
and thereby inhibits
one or more processes mediated by the binding in a subject, for example, the
release of
proinflammatory mediators. An "effective amount" of a compound can achieve a
desired therapeutic
and/or prophylactic effect, such as an amount which results in the prevention
of or a decrease in the
symptoms associated with an inflammatory disease or a disease mediated by one
or more of CRTH2,
PGD2 (including DP activity), Th2 cells, eosinophils, and basophils.
[00154] In one embodiment, the inflammatory disease is an allergic condition.
Examples of
allergic conditions for which the disclosed compounds, pharmaceutical
compositions and methods are
believed to be particularly effective include atopic dermatitis, allergic
rhinitis, rheumatoid arthritis,
chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, or allergic asthma. Other allergic
conditions include systemic
anaphylaxis or hypersensitivity responses, drug allergies (e.g., to
penicillin, cephalosporins), insect
sting allergies and dermatoses such as dermatitis, eczema, atopic dermatitis,
allergic contact dermatitis
and urticaria.
[00155] ~ Examples of diseases with an inflammatory component for which the
disclosed
compounds, pharmaceutical composition and methods are believed to be
particularly effective include
osteoarthritis, inflammatory bowel disease [e.g., such as ulcerative colitis,
Crohn's disease, ileitis,
Celiac disease, nontropical Sprue, enteritis, enteropathy associated with
seronegative arthropathies,
microscopic or collagenous colitis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, or pouchitis
resulting after
proctocolectomy, and ileoanal anastomosis] and disorders of the skin [e.g.,
psoriasis; erythema,
pruritis, and acne].
[00156] ' Many autoimmune diseases also have an inflammatory component.
Examples include
multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, myasthenia gravis, juvenile
onset diabetes,
glomerulonephritis and other nephritides, autoimmune thyroiditis, Behcet's
disease and graft rejection
(including allograft rejection or graft-versus-host disease). The inflammatory
component of these
disorders is believed to be mediated, at least in part, by CRTH2.
[00157] Diseases characterized by repurfusion have an inflammatory component
that is believed
to be mediated, at least in part by, by CRTH2. Examples include stroke,
cardiac ischemia, and the
like. The disclosed compounds and compositions also can be used to treat these
disorders.
[00158] Other diseases and conditions with an inflammatory component believed
to be mediated
by CRTH2 include mastitis (mammary gland), vaginitis, cholecystitis,
cholangitis or pericholangitis
(bile duct and surrounding tissue of the liver), chronic bronchitis, chronic
sinusitis, chronic
inflammatory diseases of the lung which result in interstitial fibrosis, such
as interstitial lung diseases
(ILD) (e.g., idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, or ILD associated with rheumatoid
arthritis, or other
autoimmune conditions), hypersensitivity pneumonitis, collagen diseases and
sarcoidosis. Yet other
diseases or conditions with inflammatory components which are amendable to
treatment according to
methods disclosed herein include vasculitis (e.g., necrotizing, cutaneous, and
hypersensitivity

vasculitis), spondyloarthropathies, scleroderma, atherosclerosis, restenosis
and myositis (including
polymyositis, dermatomyositis), pancreatitis and insulin-dependent diabetes
mellitus.
[00159] In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides a method of treating
asthma
comprising administering an effective amount of a compound of general formula
I (and subsets
thereof as described herein) to a subject in need thereof. .
[00160] The compounds and compositions, according to the method of the present
invention, may
be administered using any amount and any route of administration effective for
treating an
inflammatory disease or allergic condition. The exact amount required will
vary from subject to
subject, depending on the species, age, and general condition of the subject,
the severity of the
infection, the particular agent, its mode of administration, and the like. The
compounds of the
invention are preferably formulated in dosage unit form for ease of
administration and uniformity of
dosage. The expression "dosage unit form" as used herein refers to a
physically discrete unit of agent
appropriate for the patient to be treated. It will be understood, however,
that the total daily usage of
the compounds and compositions of the present invention will be decided by the
attending physician
within the scope of sound medical judgment. The specific effective dose level
for any particular
patient or organism will depend upon a variety of factors including the
disorder being treated and the
severity of the disorder; the activity of the specific compound employed; the
specific composition
employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient;
the time of administration,
route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific compound
employed; the duration of the
treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with the specific
compound employed, and like
factors well known in the medical arts. The term "patient", as used herein,
means an animal,
preferably a mammal, and most preferably a human.
[00161] The pharmaceutically acceptable 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, as
an oral or nasal spray, or
the like, depending on the severity of the infection being treated. In certain
embodiments, the
compounds of the invention may be administered orally or parenterally at
dosage levels of about 0.01
mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg and preferably from about 1 mg/kg to about 25 mg/kg,
of subject body
weight per day, one or more times a day, to obtain the desired therapeutic
effect.
[00162] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include, but are not
limited to,
pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, 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, dimethylformamide, oils (in particular,
cottonseed, groundnut,
corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl
alcohol, polyethylene glycols
-48

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.
[00163] Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or
oleaginous suspensions
may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or
wetting agents and
suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile
injectable solution,
suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or
solvent, for example, as a
solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that
may be employed are
water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In
addition, sterile, fixed oils
are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this
purpose any bland fixed oil
can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty
acids such as oleic acid
are used in the preparation of injectables.
[00164] 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
prior to use.
[00165] In order to prolong the effect of a compound of the present invention,
it is often desirable
to slow the absorption of the compound 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 compound then depends upon its rate
of dissolution that, in
turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively,
delayed absorption of a
parenterally administered compound form is accomplished by dissolving or
suspending the compound
in an oil vehicle. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule
matrices of the
compound in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide.
Depending upon the ratio of
compound to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the
rate of compound
release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include
poly(orthoesters) and
poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by
entrapping the compound in
liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissues.
[00166] Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably
suppositories 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 wax which
are solid at ambient
temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or
vaginal cavity and
release the active compound.
[00167] 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,
polyvinylpyrrolidinone, 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, fj 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.
[00168] 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 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 that
can be .used include polymeric substances and waxes. 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 polethylene glycols and the like.
[00169] The active compounds can also be in micro-encapsulated form with one
or' more
excipients as noted above. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees,
capsules, pills, and granules can
be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings, release
controlling coatings and other
coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. In such solid
dosage forms the active
compound may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose,
lactose or starch. Such
dosage forms may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances
other than inert diluents,
e.g., tableting lubricants and other tableting aids such a magnesium stearate
and microcrystalline
cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage forms may
also comprise buffering
agents. 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 that can
be used include
polymeric substances and waxes.
[00170] Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of a compound
of this invention
include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays,
inhalants or patches. The
active component is admixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically
acceptable carrier and
any needed preservatives or buffers as may be required. Ophthalmic
formulation, ear drops, and eye
drops are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention.
Additionally, the present
-50

CA 02561564 2006-09-27
WO 2005/100321 PCT/US2005/011643
invention contemplates the use of transdermal patches, which have the added
advantage of providing
controlled delivery of a compound to the body. Such dosage forms can be made
by dissolving or
dispensing the compound in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be
used to increase
the flux of the compound across the skin. The rate can be controlled by either
providing a rate
controlling membrane or by dispersing the compound in a polymer matrix or gel.
[00171] It will also be appreciated that the compounds and pharmaceutically
acceptable
compositions of the present invention can be employed in combination
therapies, that is, the
compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions can be administered
concurrently with,
prior to, or subsequent to, one or more other desired therapeutics or medical
procedures. The
particular combination of therapies (therapeutics or procedures) ~to employ in
a combination regimen
will take into account compatibility of the desired therapeutics andlor
procedures and the desired
therapeutic effect to be achieved. It will also be appreciated that the
therapies employed may achieve
a desired effect for the same disorder (for example, an inventive compound may
be administered
concurrently with another agent used to treat the same disorder), or they may
achieve different effects
(e.g:, control of any adverse effects). As used herein, additional therapeutic
agents which are normally
administered to treat or prevent a particular disease, or condition, are known
as "appropriate for the
disease, or condition, being treated".
[00172] For example, compounds of the invention can also be administered in
combination with
one or more additional therapeutic agents, such as, theophylline, (3-
adrenergic bronchodilators,
corticosteroids, antihistamines, antiallergic agents, immunosuppressive agents
(e.g., cyclosporin A,
FK-506, prednisone, methylprednisolone), hormones (e.g., adrenocorticotropic
hormone (ACTH)),
cytokines (e.g., interferons (e.g., IFN(3-la, IFNB-lb)) and the like.
[00173] The amount of additional therapeutic agent present in the compositions
of this invention
will be no more than the amount that would normally be administered in a
composition comprising
that therapeutic agent as the only active agent. Preferably the amount of
additional therapeutic agent
in the presently disclosed compositions will range from about 50% to 100% of
the amount normally .
present in a composition comprising that agent as the only therapeutically
active agent.
[00174] The compounds of this invention or pharmaceutically acceptable
compositions thereof
may also be incorporated into compositions for coating implantable medical
devices, such as
prostheses, artificial valves, vascular grafts, stems and catheters.
Accordingly, the present invention,
in another aspect, includes a composition for coating an implantable device
comprising a compound
of the present invention as described generally above, and in classes and
subclasses herein, and a
carrier suitable for coating said implantable device. In still another aspect,
the present invention
includes an implantable device coated with a composition comprising a compound
of the present
invention as described generally above, and in classes and subclasses herein,
and a carrier suitable for
coating said implantable device.

[00175] Another aspect of the invention relates to inhibiting CRTH2 activity
in a biological
sample or a patient, which method comprises administering to the patient, or
contacting said
biological sample with a compound of formula I or a composition comprising
said compound. The
term "biological sample", as used herein, includes, without limitation, cell
cultures or extracts thereof;
biopsied material obtained from a mammal or extracts thereof; and blood,
saliva, urine, feces, semen,
tears, or other body fluids or extracts thereof.
[00176] Inhibition of CRTH2 activity in a biological sample is useful for a
variety of purposes that
are known to one of skill in the art. Examples of such purposes include, but
are not limited to, blood
transfusion, organ-transplantation, biological specimen storage, and
biological assays.
[00177] 4. General Syntlaetic Methods:
[00178] Aother embodiment of the present invention is a method of preparing an
amino acid
compound represented by Structural Formula (XI-A):
Ark
NH
R2 j~COOH
(XI-A)
[00179] The method comprises the step of reacting Ar-NHZ with a lactone
represented by
Structural Formula (XXII-A):
O
__
O
R2
(XII-A).
[00180] Ar is an optionally substituted monocyclic aromatic group and RZ is Cl-
C3 alkyl.
Preferably, Ar is an optionally substituted phenyl group and RZ is methyl or
ethyl. Suitable
substituents for Ar are as described above for Ring A or Phenyl Ring A,
provided, however, that
functional groups which can interfere with the reaction are protected.
Functional groups which require
protection will be readily apparent to the skilled artisan and include amines,
alcohols, carboxylic
acids, and the like. Examples of preferred substituents include halo, cyano,
R°, -OR3°, -COzR3',
C(O)R°, -C(O)N(R")z, -OC(O)R°, (CH2)"COzR3', O(CHZ)"COzR3',
NHSOzR°, NHC(O)NR"z,
(CHZ)°OR3°, O(CHZ)"OR3°, (CHZ)nC(O)N(R")Z,
O(CHZ)"C(O)N(R")z; n is an integer from 1-4; R° is
independently hydrogen, CI_3 haloalkyl or a Cl_3 alkyl group; one R" is -H or
CI-C3 alkyl and the other
is an amine protecting group; R3° is an alcohol protecting group; and
R3' is a carboxylic acid
protecting group. Suitable protecting groups are well know in the art and are
disclosed in, for
example, in Greene and Wuts, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", John
Wiley & Sons (1991).

WO 2005/100321 PCT/US2005/011643
The entire teachings of Greene and Wits are incorporated herein by reference.
More commonly, Ar is
a phenyl group.
[00181] Also encompassed within the present invention is the corresponding
reaction with the
enantiomer of the amino acid compound represented by Structural Formula (XII-
A), thereby forming
the enantiomer of the compound represented by Structural Formula (XI-A).
[00182] The reaction of the aryl amine and cyclic lactone above can be carried
out in solvents in
which both reagents are soluble. Examples include protic solvents (e.g., water
and methanol) and
polar aprotic solvents (dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide"
hexamethylphosphoramide and the
like). An excess of one reagent relative to the other can be used (e.g., up to
a ten fold excess),
however equimolar amounts are more typical. The reaction is typically carried
out at the boiling point
of the solvent being used, but can also commonly carried out at temperatures
ranging from ambient
temperature to temperatures as high as 200° C..Temperatures from
70° C to 90° C are most commonly
used.
[00183] Another embodiment is a method of preparing an intermediate compound
represented by
Structural Formula (XIII-A) from the amino acid compound represented by
Structural Formula (XI-
A):
Ark
NH O O
R2~N~OiR
H
(XIII-A).
[00184] The method comprises the step of amidating the carboxylic acid group
of the amino acid
compound with NHZC(O)ORZ. The group -C(O)ORZ is an amine protecting group that
taken together
with -NHZ forms a carbamate. Thus, RZ is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl,
allyl or aryl group.
Substituents that can be present on the alkyl, allyl or aryl group represented
by RZ are those which do
not interfere :in the reactions being carried and are readily recognizable to
the skilled artisan.
Examples include alkyl, halogen and alkoxy. Thus, suitable values for RZ are
well known to the
skilled artisan and are described, for example, in Green and Wuts, "Protective
Groups in Organic

[00185] The term "amidating a carboxylic acid with NHZC(O)ORZ refers to
converting a
carboxylic acid (-COOH) to the amide -C(O)NHC(O)ORZ in one or more reaction
steps. Many
methods for converting a carboxylic acid to an amide are known in the art.
Typically, the carboxylic
acid is first converted into a group that is more readily displaced by an
amine or amide than -OH.
Thus, -OH is converted into a better leaving group. A "leaving group" is a
group which can readily be
displaced by a nucleophile. In the present invention, the amino acid compound
can be converted
-53-

CA 02561564 2006-09-27
WO 2005/100321 PCT/US2005/011643
directly to the intermediate compound by activating the carboxylic acid of the
amino acid compound
and then reacting with NHZC(O)ORZ. Alternatively, the carboxylic can be first
be converted to
carboxamide (-C(O)NHZ) by activating the carboxylic acid group of the amino
acid compound and
then reacting with NH3 or a functional equivalent thereof (e.g., NH4C1) and
then protecting the
resulting carboxamide. When NHZC(O)ORZ is used as a nucleophile, the amidation
is preferably
carried out in the presence of at least one equivalent of a non-nucleophilic
base such as an alkoxide
(lithium ter-butoxide, potassium tert butoxide, ilithium isopropoxide and
potassium isopropoxide) or
amide base (e.g., lithium or potassium isopropylamide or
hexamethylpiperidide).
[00186] In one example, -OH of the carboxylic acid is converted into a better
leaving group by
replacing it with a halogen, typically with chloride. The carboxylic acid is
thereby converted into an
acid halide, e.g., an acid chloride. Reagents suitable for preparing acid
chlorides from carboxylic acids
are well known in the art and include thionyl chloride, oxalyl chloride,
phosphorus trichloride and
phosphorus pentachloride. Typically, each carboxylic acid group is reacted
with about one equivalent
or a slight excess of thionyl chloride, oxalyl chloride, phosphorus.
trichloride and phosphorus
pentachloride in an inert solvent such as an ethereal solvent (e.g., diethyl
ether, tetrahydrofuran or 1,4-
dioxane), a halogenated solvent (e.g., methylene chloride or 1,2-
dichloroethane) or aromatic solvent
(e.g., benzene or toluene). When oxalyl chloride is used, a tertiary amine is
often added to accelerate
the reaction in quantities ranging from a catalytic amount to about one
equivalent relative to oxalyl
chloride.
[00187] Alternatively, the carboxylic acid is first converted into an
"activated ester". An ester -
COOR is said to be "activated" when -OR is readily displaced by an amine or
amide than -OH. -OR is
more easily displaced as R becomes more electron withdrawing. Some activated
esters are sufficiently '
stable that they can be isolated, e.g., esters wherein R is phenyl or
substituted phenyl. For example,
diphenylmalonate can be prepared from malonyl chloride and phenol, both
commercially available
from Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, WL, by procedures described above Other
activated esters
are more reactive and are generally prepared and used in situ.
[00188] Formation of an activated ester in situ requires a "coupling agent",
also referred to as a
"carboxylic acid activating agent", which is a reagent that replaces the
hydroxyl group of a carboxyl
acid with a group which is susceptible to nucleophilic displacement. Examples
of coupling agents
include 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI), isobutyl chloroformate,
dimethylaminopropylethyl
carbodiimide (EDC), dicyclohexyl carbodiimide (DCC). When amidating by in situ
generation of an
activated ester, an excess of either the carboxylic acid or amine can be used
(typically a 50% excess,
more typically about a 10-15% excess). However, it is more common when
carrying out the present
invention to use equimolar amounts of both reagents. Generally, from about 1.0
equivalent to about
equivalents of coupling agent are used relative to each carboxylic acid group,
preferably from
about 1.0 equivalent to about 1.5 equivalents. When DCC is used, a weak acid
such as 1
-54

CA 02561564 2006-09-27
WO 2005/100321 PCT/US2005/011643
hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) is often added to accelerate the reaction.
Typically, about between one
to about 1.5 equivalents of HOBt relative to DCC is used, preferably between
about one to about 1.2
equivalents. The reaction is generally carried out in inert, aprotic solvents,
for example, halogenated
solvents such as methylene chloride, dichloroethane and chloroform, ethereal
solvents such as
tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane and diethyl ether and dimethylformamide. Suitable
reaction temperature
generally range from between about 0° to about 100°, but the
reaction is preferably carried out at
ambient temperature.

preparing a product
compound represented by Structural Formula (XIV-A):

(XIV-A).
[00190] The method comprises the step of reducing the amide carbonyl of the
intermediate
compound to form a second intermediate and then cyclizing the second
intermediate to form the
product compound. The variables in Structural Formula (XIV-A) are as described
above for Structural
Formulas (XI-A)-(XIII-A). The "amide carbonyl" is understood to be the
carbonyl between the
methylene carbon and nitrogen atom and not the carbonyl that is bonded to both
a nitrogen and
oxygen atom.
" [00191] To carry out the reduction step, a reducing agent is used which can
reduces the amide
carbonyl but not the carbamate group. Sodium borohydride together with a Lewis
Acid such as
magnesium chloride or calcium chloride is one common example. The reduction
step is typically
carried out in an alcoholic solvent such as methanol or ethanol. An excess of
sodium borohydride and
Lewis Acid of up to 50% can be used, but typically from 0.5 to 1.0 equivalents
of sodium borohydride
and 0.5 to 2.0 equivalents of Lewis Acid are used.
[00192] The cyclization step is carried out in dilute aqueous or alcoholic
acid, using, for example,
0.1 N to 10 N HCI, HzS04, H3P04 or a sulfonic acid such as methane sulfonic
acid, toluene sulfonic
acid or phenyl sulfonic acid. More typically, between 0.8 N and 1.2 N acid is
used. Commonly, an
organic acid such acetic acid, benzoic acid, citric acid, and the like is also
be present, for example
between 0.5 equivalents to 10 equivalents. Typically, a co-solvent immiscible
in water or alcohol is
used. Common co-solvents include halogentated solvents such as dichloromethane
or chloroform and
ethereal solvents such as tetrahydrofuran and diethyl ether.

(6.29 mL, 0.077 mol)
were added and the reaction was heated to 65 °C open to the air until
no starting material was apparent
by LCMS (It is very important that this reaction not be run under argon or
nitrogen, it needs the air to
catalyze the reaction. Also, the reaction should be stirred very vigourously
to allow the air to mix
with the reaction.) Once the starting material was gone (~ 18 h), the reaction
was allowed to cool to
room temperature and poured into ethyl acetate and filter. Wash the
precipitate well with ethyl
acetate. The filtrate is washed 2 times with Hz0 and dried over Na2S04,
filtered and concentrated.

addition of 1.0 M lithium
tert-butoxide in THF solution (18 mL). The lithium tert-butoxide solution was
added at such a rate
that the internal temperature remained below 0°C. Fifteen minutes after
the completion of base
addition, the reaction (starting material gone by TLC) was quenched by adding
EtOAc (65 mL) and
1.0 M hydrochloric acid (10 mL). The aqueous phase was then basified with 1N
NaOH. The aqueous
phase was extracted 3 x EtOAc. The organics were collected together and with
saturated aqueous

[00856] The Disclosed Compounds Inhibit Binding of PGDZ to CRTH2
[0085?] This radioligand membrane binding assay evaluates the ability of
compounds to inhibit
[3H] Prostaglandin Dz (PGDz) binding to the cloned human CRTH2 receptor stably
expressed in
HEK-293 cells (expressing human CRTh2 receptor and a subunit or the
heterotrimeric G protein 16
were prepared by Biosignal Company) using Scintillation Proximity Assay.
[00858] A binding buffer containing 50mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 5mM MgCl2 and 1mM
EDTA was
prepared immediately prior to performing the assay. A bead/membrane solution
at twice the final
assay concentration comprising membranes (membranes bought from Biosignal)
from the HEK-293
cells cloned to express CRTH2 receptor bound to and [3H] PGDZ at twotimes the
final assay
concentration were prepared and stored on ice before adding to wells. Cold
PGD2 at twenty times the
final assay concentration was prepared and stored on ice before adding to
wells defining non-specific
binding (NSB) corning plates #3653 were used for this assay.
[00859] 10 mM stock concentrations of compounds in 100% DMSO were prepared and
stored at
room temperature. A 10 point concentration response curve was then constructed
for each compound,
starting at 10 pM (final assay concentration). The compounds were prepared at
40 times final assay
concentrations with nine consequent-3-fold dilutions.
[00860) 0.1 p,1 of each concentration of compound were added to the
appropriate well of the 384
plate and 2 p1 of cold PGDZ was added into the wells defining NSB. 20 p1 of
[3H] PGDz and then 20
p,1 of 2x of bead/membrane solution were then added to each well.
[00861) The plates were allowed to incubate at room temperature for
approximately 2 hours and
then counted on Packard Topcount using SPA tritium protocol for 1 minute/well.
[00862] The percent inhibition of PGDz binding (PGDZ used at the KD value or
lower) to the
HEK-293 cell membranes was determined, the assay was always run as duplicate
for n=1 for a total of
n=2.

The internal
temperature of the reaction mixture was set to 20 °C. 1,1'-
Carbonyldiimidazole (99.5 g, 614 mmol)
was charged to the stirred solution to produce a clear solution along with a
mild exotherm (5 °C) and
much gas evolution. After 1 h, benzyl carbamate (84.3 g, 558 mmol) was
charged, and the internal
temperature was set for -15 °C. At -15 °C, a 1 M solution of
LiOt-Bu in THF (837 mL, 837 mmol)
was charged to the reaction via addition funnel in 30 rnin so as to maintain
the internal temperature
between -10 and -15 °C. The solution becomes opaque pale brown and more
viscous. The internal
temperature is maintained at about -10 °C for another 15 min and then
allowed to warm to ambient
temperature. After 16 h, the reaction was quenched by the addition of 1000 mL
EtOAc (10 volumes)
followed by the 280 mL 1N HCl and 1000 mL Hz0 (10 volumes). The resulting
aqueous phase was
pH 9. The phases were separated, and the aqueous phase was extracted with
another 600 mL EtOAc
~' (6 volumes). The organic phases were combined and washed with 1000 mL 10%
brine (10 volumes).
The resulting organic solution of crude product is distilled down to a minimal
volume of 500 to 700
mL at 170 to 200 torn and a pot temperature of 35 to'40 °C. This crude
product was partitioned
between 2.0 L 1N HCl (20 volumes) and 1.0 L MTBE. An amber oily phase formed
which was the
HCI salt of the product and was kept with the aqueous acid phase. The MTBE
phase was extracted
with another 1000 mL 1N HCI (10 volumes), and the combined HCl phases were
backwashed with
another 500 nnL MTBE. The pH of the aqueous solution was adjusted to 9-10 by
the addition of 495
mL saturated aqueous K2CO3. The aqueous basic solution was extracted twice
with 800 mL EtOAc
(8 volumes), and the organic phases were combined, washed with 500 mL brine,
dried over NazS04
and evaporated to produce 161 g (92 %) of crude amber oil.

following general
procedure B, substituting methyl 5-[4-(chlorocarbonyl)-2-fluorophenyl]-2,2-
dimethylpentanoate for
6-trifluoromethyl nicotinyl chloride. (Methyl 5-[4-(chlorocarbonyl)-2-
fluorophenyl]-2,2-
dimethylpentanoate was prepared in five steps from 4-bromo-3-fluorobenzoic
acid. To a solution of 3-
bromo-3-fluorobenzoic acid in toluene/methanol was added dropwise a 2M
solution of trimethylsilyl
diazomethane until slight yellow coloration persists indicating reaction had
gone to completion.
Reaction mixture was concentrated to give methyl-3-bromo-3-fluorobenzoate. To
a solution of
methyl-3-bromo-3-fluorobenzoate in dimethylformamide was added sequentially
palladium acetate,
triphenylphosphine, tetrabutylammonium chloride, potassium acetate and methyl
2,2-dimethylpent-4-
enoate. Reaction mixture was heated under microwave irradiation at
130°C for 10 m. to give methyl
3-fluoro-4-[(lE~-5-methoxy-4,4-dimethyl-5-oxopent-1-en-1-yl]benzoate.
Hydrogenation of this
diester gave methyl 3-fluoro-4-(5-methoxy-4,4-dimethyl-5-oxopentyl)benzoate
which benzoic ester
was selectively hydrolyzed using lithium hydroxide to give 3-fluoro-4-(5-
methoxy-4,4-dimethyl-5-
oxopentyl)benzoic acid. Subsequent treatment of this carboxylic acid with
oxalyl chloride and
catalytic DMF afforded methyl 5-[4-(chlorocarbonyl)-2-fluorophenyl]-2,2-
dimethylpentanoate in
decent yield). The rest of the procedures were followed as indicated in
general procedure H to afford
