Abstract
We have found that 2-unsubstituted indoles of structural formula (IV) can be cost-effectively synthesized in high yield by the palladium-catalyzed coupling/ring closure of a 2-halo or 2-trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy aniline (I) and an acyl silane derivative (II), followed by deprotection of the silyl protecting groups. ##STR1## The process of the present invention is particularly useful to form indoles containing acid-labile substituents such as triazole, acetyl, ketal, cyano, and carbamate, or indoles having a good leaving group in the benzyl position. The advantages of the present process are that it does not require the use of triphenyl phosphine or tetrabutyl ammonium chloride or lithium chloride. When applied to 5-triazolyl substituted indoles, the present process also eliminates the tendency of triazolyl polymerization in the Fischer indole synthesis.
Description

This application is based on provisional application 60/023,860 filed Aug. 13, 1996 and provisional application 60/030,155 filed Oct. 31, 1996.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the preparation of 2-silyl protected indoles from the palladium catalyzed reaction of halo-anilines and acyl silanes (which act as aldehyde synthons). These 2-silyl derivitives may, according to the present invention, be converted to the corresponding 2-unsubstituted indole derivative. The present invention is particularly useful in the preparation of 5-heterocyclic substituted tryptamines such as 5-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) tryptamine. These compounds are therapeutically active as anti-migraine agents.
Generally, indoles are prepared via the Fischer-indole reaction. For example, Chen et al., J. Org. Chem., 59:3738 (1994) disclose the preparation of N,N-dimethyl tryptamines from 4-substituted hydrazines and dimethylaminobutyraldehyde dimethyl acetal using 4% H.sub.2 SO.sub.4. However, the yields are often low, particularly for compounds having triazole substitution. Benzyltriazoles are unstable to the Fischer indole reaction conditions, which generally lead to polymerization of the triazole moiety, and the production of oligomers.
Larock et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 113:6689 (1991) have shown that coupling of an iodoaniline species with an internal acetylene using palladium catalysis gives 2,3-disubstituted indoles in good-to-excellent yields. Smith et al ., have also demonstrated this for 4-pyrimidinyl and pyridinyl derivatives of indol-3-yl-alkyl piperazines as in published EPO 548 831 A1. Two other applications of this methodology have been demonstrated in the syntheses of heterocondensed pyrroles and tryptophans. See Wensbo et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 34:2823 (1993); Wensbo et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 34:6471 (1993). However, all of these methods require triphenylphosphine, as part of the catalyst system, which is an environmental hazard. An alternate process has been developed to overcome the low yield of the Fischer-indole reaction with certain starting materials and to avoid the use of the environmentally hazardous triphenylphosphine. This process is detailed in PCT publication WO 95/32197 and involves the palladiumcatalyzed coupling/ring closure of a 3-iodo-4-aminobenzyltriazole with a suitably protected butynol derivative to the corresponding tryptophol, followed by conversion of the hydroxyethyl moiety to a dimethyl amino ethyl; as shown below: ##STR2## said process being carried out in a dry inert organic solvent for the starting materials at a temperature in the range of about 70.degree. to 120.degree. C., in the presence of a palladium catalyst, and in the presence of an inorganic or organic amine compound, wherein:
X.sub.21 and X.sub.22 are independently ring nitrogen or carbon atoms;
halo represents Br or I;
n is an integer from 0-1;
p is an integer from 1-4;
R.sup.23 is H or linear or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl;
R.sup.21 is H or a radical with functions as a hydroxy protecting
group, which is removable, under mild acid hydrolyses, for example, by contacting with a mixture of HCl/MeOH, e.g. 1:1 2N HCl/MeOH at 0.degree.-30.degree. C., and
R.sup.22 is a radical which functions as a terminal acetylene carbon protecting group.
However, although the chemistry of this alternate process is effective, the starting materials, butynol and triethylsilyl chloride, are relatively expensive. The present invention provides for a cost-effective indolization procedure.
Iida et al., J. Org. Chem. 45:2938-2942 (1980) describe intramolecular cyclization of 3-((2-bromoaryl)amino) cyclohex-2-en-1-ones with catalytic palladium in the presence of triphenyl phosphine, as well as the reaction of aryl amines with .beta.-diketones to form the corresponding secondary enaminone followed by N-ethylation to form the corresponding tertiary enaminones and subsequent intramolecular cyclization in the presence of equimolar palladium acetate.
Sakamota et al., Synthesis, p. 215-218 (1990), describe palladium-catalyzed cyclization of .beta.-(2-halophenyl)amino substituted .alpha..beta.-unsaturated ketones and esters to produce 2,3-disubstituted indoles. The procedure of Sakamota et al., also employs phosphine.
The present invention has particular application in the synthesis of 5HT.sub.1D receptor agonists. These agonists mimic the effects of the neurotransmitter serotonin which acts as a vasoconstrictor in the brain. 5HT.sub.1D receptor agonists display beneficial properties in migraine therapies. Over the past few years an extensive effort has been devoted to the development of N,N-dialkyltryptamines as 5-HT.sub.1D receptor agonists to achieve the desired activity and selectivity for the treatment of migraine. Sumatriptan is the first of this class of drugs to be approved for this purpose. MK-0462 (developed by Merck & Co.), is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,298,520 and is also a potent 5-HT.sub.1D receptor agonist that is undergoing clinical studies. ##STR3##
Thus, the present invention also provides for an efficient and cost-effective synthesis of 5-heterocyclic-substituted tryptamines useful in the treatment of migraine headaches.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
We have found that 2-unsubstituted indoles can be cost-effectively synthesized in high yield by the palladium-catalyzed coupling/ring closure of a 2-halo or 2-trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy (OTf)-- aniline and an acyl silane derivative, followed by deprotection of the silyl protecting groups. The process of the present invention is particularly useful to form indoles containing acid-labile substituents such as triazole, acetyl, ketal, cyano, and carbamate, or indoles having a good leaving group in the benzyl position. The advantages to the present process are that it does not require the use of triphenylphosphine or tetrabutyl ammonium chloride or lithium chloride. When applied to 5-triazolyl substituted indoles, the present process also eliminates the tendency of triazolyl polymerization in the Fischer indole synthesis.

The process of the present invention is preferably carried out in a dry organic solvent inert for the starting materials in the presence of a palladium catalyst, and in the presence of an inorganic or organic base which is not a "catalyst poison". Preferably, the present process is carried out at an elevated temperature.
In the process of the present invention, Structure I is coupled with Structure II to form Structure III via a palladium catalyzed reaction in a dry inert organic solvent containing a soluble palladium catalyst and in the presence of a proton acceptor, being an aromatic amine, alkylamine or inorganic base, which is not a "catalyst poison," at a temperature of about 90.degree.-120.degree. C.
The organic solvent useful in the process of the present invention must be one in which Structure I, Structure II and the palladium catalyst are soluble and compatible and is chemically inert under the reaction conditions. Preferred are DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide) and amide solvents such as DMF (N,N-dimethylformamide), DMAC (N,N-dimethylacetamide), and NMP (N-methyl-pyrrolidinone). Most preferred is DMF.
The acyl silane of structural formula (II) is generally employed in excess based on the the 2-halo or 2-(OTf)-- aniline of structural formula (I). A useful range is about 1.0 to 3 fold, based on the 2-halo or 2-(OTf)-- aniline of structural formula I. The acyl silane may be favorably employed at a two-fold excess, based on the 2-halo or 2-(OTf)-- aniline of structural formula I.
The proton acceptor useful in the process of the present invention is a basic compound which can be organic or inorganic and acts as a proton acceptor and is not a "catalyst poison". By the term "catalyst poison" is meant interaction with the catalyst to inhibit its catalytic activity and prevent the coupling/ring closure between structures I and II from occurring. Suitable classes of proton acceptors include alkylamines, aromatic amines, heterocyclic amines, phosphates and the like. Alkylamines are the preferred proton acceptor in the process of the present invention. Particular alkylamines that may be employed include: DABCO (1,4-diazabicyclo�2.2.2!octane), quinuclidine, t- butylamine, 2,2,6,6,-tetramethylpiperidine and di-t-butyl-amine. DABCO is particularly preferred because it reduces the appearance of impurities in the reaction because it is resistant to oxidation to the imine in the reaction conditions of the process of the present invention.
The proton acceptor is generally employed in excess based on the the 2-halo or 2-(OTf)-- aniline of structural formula (I). A useful range is about 2 to 4 fold excess, based on the 2-halo or 2-(OTf)-- aniline of structural formula (1). The proton acceptor may be favorably employed at a three-fold excess, based on the 2-halo or 2-(OTf)-- aniline of structural formula (I).
The palladium catalyst useful in the reaction can be selected from the following classes: Pd alkanoates, Pd acetonates, Pd halides, Pd halide complexes, Pd-benzylidine acetone complexes, as well as triaryl Pd phosphine complexes. Representative examples include, but are not limited to: Pd(II) acetate, Pd(II) acetylacetonate, Pd(O)bis-dibenzylidene acetone ("dba"), Pd(II) bromide, Pd(II) chloride, Pd(II) iodide, Pd(II) sulfate, Pd(II)trifluoroacetate, Pd(II) Cl.sub.2 (CH.sub.3 CN).sub.2, Pd.sub.2 (dba).sub.3, and Pd(II)Cl.sub.2 (PhCN).sub.2. A useful catalyst is palladium acetate.
The palladium catalyst is employed in an amount of about 0.5 to 5 mole percent based on the halo aniline of structural formula I. A useful range is about 2 to 3 mole percent of soluble palladium catalyst, based on the halo aniline of structural formula I.
A dehydrating agent, such as magnesium sulfate may also be favorably employed in the process of coupling Structure I with Structure II to form Structure m according to the present invention. Although not necessary to the process, a dehydrating agent can assist the enamine formation by removal of the water of condensation.
The reaction is carried out in the temperature range of 90.degree. to 120.degree. C. A useful temperature is about 100.degree.-105.degree. C. Generally, the reaction is carried out under a dry, inert atmosphere at atmospheric pressure. It is useful to carry out the reaction under a nitrogen atmosphere.
The progress of the reaction may be monitored by means known in the art, including thin-layer silica gel chromatography (TLC), high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). Preferably HPLC or TLC is employed, most preferably HPLC. When the reaction is complete, generally in 8 to 72 hours, the reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature and the product is separated by traditional means, e.g. by taking up with organic solvent, such as isopropyl acetate and washing with water and/or other aqueous solutions. The product may then be purified by means known in the art, including preparative thin-layer silica gel chromatography, silica gel chromatography, HPLC, crystallization, and solid-phase extraction. Preferably, the product is purified by silica gel chromatography or crystallization.
Further, the present invention relates to deprotecting the compound of structural formula III to obtain the 2-unsubstituted indole of structural formula IV: ##STR10## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 9 R.sup.6, R.sup.7, and R.sup.8 are as defined above.
The Si(R.sup.5)(R.sup.6)(R.sup.7) group is removable by Lewis acid catalyzed deprotection with a Lewis acid such as AlCl.sub.3, or aqueous HCl HF, HBr, and HF. The silyl group may be removed, for example, by treatment with nucleophilic acid, e.g., contacting with about a 1:1 by volume 2N HCl/MeOH solvent mixture at 0.degree.-30.degree. C. for 1 to 24 hours to completely remove the silyl protecting groups. Alternatively, the silyl group may be removed by fluoride deprotection. This step is referred to herein as "deprotection". Removal of the Si(R.sup.5)(R.sup.6)(R.sup.7) group produces the 2-unsubstituted indole.
Particular 2-unsubstituted indole compounds according to structural formula (IV) that may be made according to the process of the present invention include:

To TMS dithiane 1 in dry, polar aprotic solvent, such as THF, diethylether, t-butylmethylether, dioxane, diethoxymethane, is added an equivalent of a base such as lithium diisopropyl amide, NaH, Grignard, or an alkyl lithium, such as n-butyl lithium dropwise. Preferably, this alkylation is conducted at reduced temperatures, most preferably at -78.degree. C. Following the addition, the mixture is preferably warmed to -20.degree. C. and aged at -20.degree. C. for 0.5 h. Following aging, the reaction is preferably cooled to -78.degree. C. Br--CH.sub.2 --R.sup.8 2, preferably dissolved in a small volume of the solvent, is added dropwise. The mixture is warmed, preferably to room temperature, and aged, preferably for about 12 hours. The mixture is partitioned between a lipophilic solvent, such as heptane, and water. The heptane layer is separated and concentrated in vacuum to give the dithiane 3 as a pale yellow oil. This material may be directly used in the next step.
A mixture of the dithiane 3, mercuric oxide and mercuric chloride in acetonitrile-H.sub.2 O, (preferably an 80:20 ratio) in an aprotic solvent such as ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, methylene chloride, acetonitrile, toluene and the like, is aged at room temperature, preferably for about 30 minutes. Alternatively, iodine in calcium carbonate may be employed. The resulting solid is filtered and washed, preferably with an aprotic solvent such as ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, methylene chloride, acetonitrile, toluene and the like. The filtrate and wash are combined and concentrated to an oil. This material may be chromatographed over silica gel to give the acyl silane 4 as a pale yellow oil.
