Cyclopentenecarboxamide derivative, method for preparing the same and bicycloamide derivative used therein

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a cyclopentenecarboxamide derivative and its intermediate. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cyclopentenecarboxamide derivative which is useful as an intermediate of a carbocyclic nucleoside usefully used as an anti-viral agent and a bicycloamide derivative which is an intermediate of the cyclopentenecarboxamide derivative, and methods for preparing these compounds.
2. Discussion of the Related Art
Carbocyclic nucleosides are structurally analogous to nucleosides in which the furanose oxygen is replaced by methylene group. Because of the structural resemblance to native nucleosides, carbocyclic nucleosides can behave as substrates or inhibitors of the enzymes which act on nucleosides in living cells. On the other hand, owing to the absence of a glycoside bond, they are not susceptible to the action of hydrolases such as phosphorylases and phosphotransferases that hydrolyze native nucleosides. Also, the metabolic route of carbocyclic nucleosides is different from that of native nucleosides. Because of these differences, carbocyclic nucleosides are endowed with a wide spectrum of biological activities. For example, carbovir, which is represented by the formula (D) set forth later in the present specification, is effective for the therapy and prevention of viral infection [J. Med. Chem., 33, 17 (1990)].
There have been disclosed several methods for preparing a carbocyclic nucleoside, which include the following methods:
(1) Using, as a starting compound, a cycloalkane substituted with an amino group or a cycloalkane substituted with an amino group, a base structure of a nucleic acid base is constructed on the nitrogen atom of the amino group [Protein, nucleic acid, and enzyme, 40, 1219 (1995)];
(2) A purine structure is directly introduced into a 1-alkoxy-2-cyclopentene derivative in the presence of a palladium catalyst [J. Chem. Soc. Parkin Trans. 1, 2605 (1991); Tetrahedron Letters, 33, 1085 (1992); and J. Am. Chem. Soc., 114, 8745 (1992)]; and
(3) A purine structure is directly introduced into a 2-cyclopentene-1-yl-N,N-ditosylimide derivative in the presence of a palladium catalyst [J. Org. Chem., 59, 4719(1994)].
All the above methods, however, arise a problem which causes to impair the cost-effectiveness of the production on an industrial scale. In the above method (1), the construct of a nucleic acid structure on the N-atom requires many reaction steps, which in turn increases the production cost. Although the above methods (2) and (3) are advantageous over the method (1) in that a nucleic acid base structure is directly introduced, they require many steps for the synthesis of a cyclopentene derivative used as a starting material. Therefore, none of the above methods (1) to (3) can be advantageously used for an industrial scale production of a carbocyclic nucleoside.
As a method for preparing an N-sulfonyl derivative of 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-3-one, there has been known a method comprising reacting in the presence of sodium hydride at room temperature p-toluenesulfonyl chloride with 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-3-one to give N-p-toluenesulfonyl-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-3-one [J. Org. Chem. 59, 4719(1994); and Chem. Pharm. Bull., 39, 1112(1992)].
However, the above method using sodium hydride has a defect of low yield such as 40 to 46% as demonstrated in Comparative Examples described later in the present specification, therefore is not an advantageous method for the industrial production of an N-sulfonyl derivative of 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-3-one.

In formulae (I) and (III), Y is a residue of a substituted or unsubstituted nucleic acid base. The "nucleic acid base" means a constituent base of a nucleoside as defined in the field of nucleic acid chemistry. The term "residue of nucleic acid base" as used herein refers to a residual group formed by removing a hydrogen atom bonded to the nitrogen atom of the N-containing heterocyclic ring of a nucleic acid base from a nucleic acid base.

In Reaction I, the amount of the compound represented by the formula (III) is 0.5 to 5 times, preferably 0.8 to 2 times the molar amount of the bicycloamide derivative represented by the formula (II).
The base used in Reaction I is not particularly limited.

The amount of the palladium catalyst used in Reaction I is 0.0001 to 1 times, preferably 0.001 to 0.1 times the molar amount of bicycloamide derivative represented by the formula (II).
When a palladium catalyst not having phosphorus ligand is employed, it is desired that the palladium catalyst not having phosphorus ligand is concurrently used together with an organic phosphorus compound. Examples of the organic phosphorus compound include aryl- or alkylphosphines such as triphenylphosphine, tributylphosphine and 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane; and aryl- or alkylphosphites such as triethylphosphite and triphenylphosphite. When the organic phosphorus compound has an aromatic ring in its molecule, there may exist a substituent having amino group such as dimethylamino group or diethylaminomethyl group or a substituent having sulfonic acid group in the aromatic ring. The organic phosphorus compound is usually used in an amount of 1 to 100 times the molar amount of palladium catalyst.
It is desired that Reaction I is carried out in the presence of a solvent.
Examples of the solvent include, for instance, hydrocarbons such as toluene and xylene; ethers such as dimethoxyethane and tetrahydrofuran; nitrites such as acetonitrile; amides such as dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone and hexamethylphosphoroamide; and sulfur-containing compounds such as sulfolane and dimethylsulfoxide. Those solvents can be used alone or in an admixture thereof. The amount of the solvent is usually 0.1 to 1000 times, preferably 1 to 100 times the amount by weight of the bicycloamide derivative represented by the formula (II).
Reaction I, i.e., the reaction of a bicycloamide derivative represented by the formula (II) with a compound represented by the formula (III) is generally carried out by supplying the bicycloamide derivative represented by the formula (II) and a palladium catalyst to a reaction vessel equipped with a stirrer which is previously charged with the compound represented by the formula (III) and a base. Alternatively, the reaction is carried out by supplying the compound represented by the formula (III) and a base to a reaction vessel equipped with a stirrer which is previously charged with the bicycloamide derivative represented by the formula (II) and a palladium catalyst. The compound represented by the formula (III) and a base may be supplied to the reaction vessel separately or as an admixture thereof.
The reaction temperature is selected from the temperature range of from -50.degree. C. to 180.degree. C., preferably from -20.degree. C. to 120.degree. C. The reaction period of time is usually from 10 minutes to 24 hours.
After the completion of the reaction, the resulting cyclopentenecarboxamide derivative (I) can be isolated from the reaction mixture by a conventional method. For example, the reaction mixture is added to water, which is then subjected to the extraction with an ester such as ethyl acetate and distilled to obtain a cyclopentenecarboxamide derivative represented by the formula (I).
As occasion demands, the cyclopentenecarboxamide derivative obtained can further be purified by means of column chromatography or recrystallization.
Next, a method for preparing a bicycloamide derivative represented by the formula (II) is explained below. The bicycloamide derivative represented by the formula (II) can be obtained by reacting, in the presence of an organolithium compound and at a temperature of from -120.degree. C. to 0.degree. C., azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-3-one represented by the formula (IV): ##STR17## with a compound represented by the formula (V):
R.sup.1 --X (V)
wherein R.sup.1 is an electron withdrawing group having sulfur atom or phosphorus atom directly bonded to X, and X is a halogen atom. The above reaction is hereinafter simply referred to as "Reaction II."
Both the bicycloamide derivative represented by the formula (II) and 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-3-one which is a starting material are unstable compounds. Thus, when the reaction to produce the bicycloamide derivative using 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-3-one as a starting material is carried out in the presence of sodium hydride at room temperature as in conventional methods, it is difficult to obtain an objective bicycloamide derivative as represented by the formula (II) in satisfactory yields.
To the contrary, when Reaction II is carried out at a low temperature in the presence of an organolithium compound which allows Reaction II to proceed at low temperatures, it is unexpectedly found that the bicycloamide derivative represented by the formula (II) can be produced in high yields.
Thus, the first characteristic of the method for preparing a bicycloamide derivative of the present invention resides in that Reaction II is carried out at a low temperature of from -120.degree. C. to 0.degree. C. The low temperature can be attained by using a conventional cooling means such as liquid nitrogen or a mixture of dry ice and ethanol.
The second characteristic of the method for preparing a bicycloamide derivative of the present invention is to use an organolithium compound which can effectively catalyze Reaction II even at low temperatures.
The organolithium compounds used in the present invention include, for instance, alkyl lithium compounds such as methyl lithium, n-butyl lithium, and s-butyl lithium, aryl lithium compounds such as phenyl lithium, and the like.
The amount of the organolithium compound is usually 0.5 to 2.0 times, preferably 0.8 to 1.5 times, more preferably 0.9 to 1.2 times the molar amount of 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-3-one.
The above reaction is usually carried out in the presence of a solvent. As the solvent, those which do not adversely affect Reaction II can be used. Examples of the solvent usable in the present invention include, for instance, hydrocarbons such as hexane, cyclohexane, heptane, toluene, and xylene; ethers such as dimethoxyethane, diisopropyl ether and tetrahydrofuran. Those solvents can be used alone or in an admixture thereof. The amount of the solvent used varies depending upon the type of solvent and is usually 0.1 to 1000 times, preferably 1 to 100 times the weight of 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-3-one.
It is desired that Reaction II is carried out in an atmosphere of inert gas such as nitrogen gas or argon gas. The reaction of 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-3-one with a compound represented by the formula (V) is usually carried out by supplying a mixture of 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-3-one and an organolithium compound to a reaction vessel equipped with a stirrer which is previously charged with the compound represented by the formula (V). Also, the above reaction can be carried out by supplying the compound represented by the formula (V) to a reaction vessel equipped with a stirrer which is previously charged with 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-3-one and an organolithium compound. The compound represented by formula (V) can be used as it is or as a solution of a solvent described above.
The reaction temperature for Reaction II can be selected from the range of from -120.degree. C. to 0.degree. C., preferably from the range of from -90.degree. C. to -30.degree. C.
The duration of Reaction II varies depending upon the reaction conditions employed. The reaction period of time as to Reaction II is usually 10 minutes to 24 hours.
2-Azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-3-one is a known compound and can be produced, for example, by the method described in a literature [J. Org. Chem., 39, 564 (1974)]. It is also possible to use an optically active 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-3-one.
R.sup.1 in the above formula (V) represents the same groups as those represented by R.sup.1 in the formulae (I) and (II).
In addition, X in the formula (V) is a halogen atom such as chlorine, bromine or iodine atom.

The compound represented by the formula (V) is usually used in an amount of from 0.5 to 2.0 times, preferably from 0.9 to 1.2 times the molar amount of 2-azabicyclo[2.2.0]hept-5-en-3-one represented by the formula (IV).
After the reaction is completed, the separation and purification of the bicycloamide derivative represented by the formula (II) are carried out by a known method. For instance, the reaction mixture is neutralized with acetic acid, dilute sulfuric acid or aqueous ammonium chloride solution. Thereafter, the resultant neutralized solution is extracted with an organic solvent such as ethyl acetate, chloroform or toluene. The solvent is then distilled off from the resultant extractant to isolate a bicycloamide derivative represented by the formula (II). Also, the resultant bicycloamide derivative is further purified by such a purification method as column chromatography or recrystallization as occasion demands.
