Abstract

Description
INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE TO ANY PRIORITY APPLICATIONS

Any and all applications for which a foreign or domestic priority claim is identified, for example, in the Application Data Sheet or Request as filed with the present application, are hereby incorporated by reference under 37 CFR 1.57, and Rules 4.18 and 20.6.


FIELD

The present disclosure relates to synthetic organic chemistry, and in particular to [1.1.1]-bicyclopentane-based compounds (propellane derivatives) and their synthesis.


DESCRIPTION

There is significant need for new categories of small organic molecules useful as reagents in synthetic organic chemistry. Although it has been estimated that there are 1060 possible small carbon-containing molecules, only a tiny fraction of those can be effectively and efficiently synthesized using known reactions and readily-available starting materials (or “building blocks”). New building blocks or more efficient methods of synthesizing known but expensive building blocks could expand the chemical space available for exploration, for example, in areas such as pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemistry, polymers, advanced materials, and many other areas of endeavor.


One structural motif that is highly under-represented in synthetic organic chemistry is bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane (BCP) having the structure:

This is largely due to the difficulty, high cost, and low yields of BCP and its derivatives using known synthetic schemes. Although BCP has been the subject of some experimentation as a structural motif in pharmaceuticals, polymers, liquid crystal displays, high energy density materials, nanoparticles or molecular rods, macrocycles, organometallic complexes, and physical organic chemistry, compounds having a BCP structure have yet to be commercialized in those fields. In short, commercial use of BCPs has been hampered by availability and cost of reagents.


SUMMARY

Some embodiments disclosed herein relate to a method for preparing a substituted bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane compound that can include combining [1.1.1]propellane; a Group VII transition metal compound or a Group IX transition metal compound; a hydride source; and a reagent capable of contributing all or a part of a substituent group such that bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane is substituted with the substituent group.


Some embodiments described herein relate to using a method described herein to obtain a compound of Formula (I).


Some embodiments described herein relate to a compound of Formula (I).







DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes are remarkably stable, despite being highly ring-strained. The first example of an isolated bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane was reported by Wiberg in 1964 (Wiberg et al. Tetrahedron Lett. 1964, 531-4). However, development of the bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane field was slow due to the difficult and low yielding chemistry. Some twenty years passed before a more productive route into BCPs was discovered by Wiberg (Wiberg et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1982, 104, 5239-40) and further developed by Sziemes (Semmler et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1985, 107, 6410-11) that utilized the highly ring-strained [1.1.1]propellane as a starting material.


Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane has unique properties, including shape (sterics) and polarity (electronics) where the high ring-strain creates an electron withdrawing effect for substituents on the bridgehead carbons. For example, 1-bicyclo[1.1.1]pentyl amine is significantly less basic compared to tert-butylamine (pKa of the conjugate acid is 8.6 for 1-bicyclo[1.1.1]pentyl amine vs. 11.0 for tBuNH2). Likewise, 1-carboxybicyclo[1.1.1]pentane is more acidic than pivalic acid (pKa of 4.09 for 1-carboxybicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes vs. 5.05 for pivalic acid). These and other properties suggest that BCPs may find significant application as organic chemistry building blocks. Nevertheless, despite advances in synthesis of a few BCPs (see, e.g., Bunker et al., Org. Lett. 2011, 13, 4746-4748), there is a need for additional BCP building blocks and for more cost-effective syntheses for known BCP-based compounds.

Definitions

Whenever a group is described as being “optionally substituted” that group may be unsubstituted or substituted with one or more of the indicated substituents. Likewise, when a group is described as being “unsubstituted or substituted” if substituted, the substituent(s) may be selected from one or more of the indicated substituents. If no substituents are indicated, it is meant that the indicated “optionally substituted” or “substituted” group may be substituted with one or more group(s) individually and independently selected from alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, cycloalkynyl, aryl, heteroaryl, heterocyclyl, aryl(alkyl), heteroaryl(alkyl), (heterocyclyl)alkyl, hydroxy, alkoxy, acyl, cyano, halogen, thiocarbonyl, O-carbamyl, N-carbamyl, O-thiocarbamyl, N-thiocarbamyl, C-amido, N-amido, S-sulfonamido, N-sulfonamido, C-carboxy, O-carboxy, isocyanato, thiocyanato, isothiocyanato, nitro, sulfenyl, sulfinyl, sulfonyl, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, an amino, a mono-substituted amino group and a di-substituted amino group.


As used herein, “Ca to Cb” in which “a” and “b” are integers refer to the number of carbon atoms in a group. The indicated group can contain from “a” to “b”, inclusive, carbon atoms. Thus, for example, a “C1 to C4 alkyl” group refers to all alkyl groups having from 1 to 4 carbons, that is, CH3—, CH3CH2—, CH3CH2CH2—, (CH3)2CH—, CH3CH2CH2CH2—, CH3CH2CH(CH3)— and (CH3)3C—. If no “a” and “b” are designated, the broadest range described in these definitions is to be assumed.


As used herein, the term “alkyl” refers to a fully saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group. The alkyl moiety may be branched or straight chain. Examples of branched alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, iso-propyl, sec-butyl, t-butyl and the like. Examples of straight chain alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, n-pentyl, n-hexyl, n-heptyl, and the like. The alkyl group may have 1 to 30 carbon atoms (whenever it appears herein, a numerical range such as “1 to 30” refers to each integer in the given range; e.g., “1 to 30 carbon atoms” means that the alkyl group may consist of 1 carbon atom, 2 carbon atoms, 3 carbon atoms, etc., up to and including 30 carbon atoms, although the present definition also covers the occurrence of the term “alkyl” where no numerical range is designated). The alkyl group may also be a medium size alkyl having 1 to 12 carbon atoms. The alkyl group could also be a lower alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. An alkyl group may be substituted or unsubstituted.

Cycloalkenyl groups can contain 3 to 10 atoms in the ring(s) or 3 to 8 atoms in the ring(s). When composed of two or more rings, the rings may be connected together in a fused, bridged or spiro fashion. A cycloalkenyl group may be unsubstituted or substituted.


As used herein, “cycloalkynyl” refers to a mono- or multi-cyclic hydrocarbon ring system that contains one or more triple bonds in at least one ring. If there is more than one triple bond, the triple bonds cannot form a fully delocalized pi-electron system throughout all the rings.

Various of optionally substituted sulfonyls and optionally substituted phosphonate are suitable. In some embodiments, the optionally substituted sulfonyl can be an optionally substituted tosyl. In some embodiments, the optionally substituted phosphonate can be an optionally substituted di(alkyl)cyanophosphonate (for example, di(ethyl)cyanophosphonate).


A non-limiting list of examples of the reagents having the structure LG1-R1 include tosyl azide, sulfonyl azide, lithium azide, sodium azide, potassium azide, cesium azide, zinc azide, tosyl cyanide, tosyl chloride, potassium thiocyanate, potassium cyanate, sodium nitrite, (E)-(phenylsulfonyl)methanal O-benzyl oxime, (E)-N-(benzyloxy)-1-(phenylsulfonyl)methanimidoyl cyanide, diethyl phosphorocyanidate, tert-butylisocyanate, and an optionally substituted sulfonyl oxime.


In other embodiments, the reagent capable of contributing all or a part of a substituent group can have the structure R1A-R1B, wherein R1B attaches to a carbon of [1.1.1]propellane and undergoes a further transformation to form R1, and R1A forms a byproduct. An example of R1A-R1B is molecular oxygen. One oxygen atom of molecular oxygen attached to a carbon of [1.1.1]propellane and the other oxygen forms an oxide byproduct (e.g., silanoxy byproduct). A further example of a reagent capable of contributing all or a part of a substituent group having the structure R1A-R1B is an optionally substituted oxaziridine.


In still other embodiments, the reagent capable of contributing all or a part of a substituent group can have the structure R1. For these reagents, all the atoms of the reagent can add to a carbon of [1.1.1]propellane to form the substituted BCP. An example of this type of reagent is 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO).


In yet still other embodiments, the reagent capable of contributing all or a part of a substituent group can have the structure of an optionally substituted R1—C2-10 alkenyl. In some embodiments, R1—C2-10 alkenyl can be unsubstituted. In other embodiments, R1—C2-10 alkenyl can be substituted. In some embodiments, the reagent capable of contributing all or a part of a substituent group can have the structure of an optionally substituted R1—C2-6 alkenyl


Hydride Sources


Various reagents can be used to donate a hydrogen to [1.1.1]propellane. As used herein, “hydride source” is a reagent capable of donating a H or H-radical (H•). Suitable hydride sources can transfer a hydride to [1.1.1]propellane or the metal center of the Group VII or IX transition metal compound to give a metal-hydride complex.


In some embodiments, the hydride source can be a metal-based hydride source. Examples include, but are not limited to, alkali metal-based hydrides, and alkali metal-based borohydrides (such as, sodium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride, lithium borohydride and sodium triacetoxyborohydride). In other embodiments, the hydride source can be a non-metal-based hydride source. Examples of non-metal-based hydride sources include, but are not limited to, silanes (for example, phenylsilane and methyldiphenylsilane), 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDSO) and an optionally substituted borane (such as, BH3, BH3-complex, 9-Borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN), and isopinocampheylborane).


Hydride source reagents can be obtained from commercial vendors and/or prepared utilizing methods known to those skilled in the art. The deuterated equivalents can also be obtained from commercial vendors and/or prepared using commercially available reagents, for example, as described in Keinan et al., J. Org. Chem., 1987, 52, 2576-2580 and Harvey et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1957, 79, 1437-1439. which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties. In some embodiments, a method provided herein can include adding a first portion of a hydride source and a second portion of a hydride source.


The amounts of [1.1.1]propellane, the Group VII or Group IX transition metal compound, the hydride source and the reagent capable of contributing all or a part of a substituent group can vary. In some embodiments, one or more of the [1.1.1]propellane, the Group VII or Group IX transition metal compound, the hydride source and the reagent capable of contributing all or a part of a substituent group can be in excess to another one or more of the aforementioned compounds. In some embodiments, the reagent capable of contributing all or a part of a substituent group can be in excess of [1.1.1]propellane and/or the hydride source. In other embodiments, the hydride source can be in excess of [1.1.1]propellane and/or the reagent capable of contributing all or a part of a substituent group. In still other embodiments, [1.1.1]propellane can be in excess of the hydride source and/or the reagent capable of contributing all or a part of a substituent group. The amount in excess can vary. For example, the amount in excess can be about 1.2 times or more, about 1.5 times or more, about 2 times or more, about 3 times or more, or about 4 times or more. In other embodiments, one or more of [1.1.1]propellane, the Group VII or Group IX transition metal compound, the hydride source and the reagent capable of contributing all or a part of a substituent group can be in approximately equal molar amounts to another one or more of the aforementioned compounds.


The order in which each of [1.1.1]propellane, the Group VII or Group IX transition metal compound, the hydride source and the reagent capable of contributing all or a part of a substituent group are combined can also vary. For example, the Group VII or Group IX transition metal compound can be combined with the reagent capable of contributing all or a part of a substituent group, followed by the addition of [1.1.1]propellane and the hydride source. Alternatively, [1.1.1]propellane can be added before the reagent capable of contributing all or a part of a substituent group.

EXAMPLES
Example 1: General Procedure

A solution of catalyst A or B (2-5 mol %) was dissolved in either a 3:1 or 2:1 mixture of anhydrous MeOH and anhydrous Et2O containing 1 ppm BHT (10 mM final concentration) and stirred under N2 for 2 mins. Propellane (1 eq.) and the appropriate trapping agent (1.2-1.5 eq.) were added followed by PhSiH3 (1.0 eq.). After stirring overnight at RT (room temperature), the mixture was concentrated to afford the desired compound that was either further purified by flash chromatography on silica gel or used without further purification.

To the crude azide from the previous step in MeOH/Et2O was added a suspension of CuSO4 (0.1 eq.), NaBH4 (1 eq.) in MeOH at 0° C. NaBH4 (4 eq.) was added portionwise over 1 h. The mixture was stirred overnight, and then acidified with 4N HCl in dioxane. The mixture was then concentration to dryness followed by trituration with Et2O to afford 1-aminobicyclo[1.1.1]pentane. LC/MS (APCI) m/z 84.1 [C5H9N+H]+.


Those skilled in the art understand that 1-aminobicyclo[1.1.1]pentane is formed from 1-azidobicyclo[1.1.1]pentane using the conditions described herein. (See Goh, Y.

The resulting mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 21 h. The reaction is quenched by adding water and brine. The mixture is stirred 5 min and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers are dried (MgSO4), filtered and the volatiles removed under reduced pressure. The crude residue is then used in the next step, otherwise it is subjected to flash chromatography to give 1-chlorobicyclo[1.1.1]pentane.
