The present invention relates to α-acyloxy β-formamido amides, methods for their preparation, and their use as intermediate for the preparation of isocyanide building block for the preparation of prolyl peptide inhibitors of disease-associated targets.
α-hydroxy-β-aminocarboxylic acid and amide derivatives are found in a variety of natural products and pharmaceutically active substances.
Subunits incorporating the α-hydroxy-β-aminocarboxylic acid motif have been termed “norstatine” derivatives, and serve as key intermediates for the synthesis of the general class of P1-α-ketocarboxylic transition-state inhibitors of serine or cysteine proteases. Such inhibitors are finding increasing applications in medicine for the treatment of a diverse array of disease states including thrombosis, cancer, and osteoporosis.
Towards this end, α-hydroxy-β-aminocarboxylic acid, ester and amide derivatives serve an important role as the most common precursors for the preparation of these α-hydroxy-β-aminocarboxylic acid-incorporating drug candidates.
Electrophilic α-dicarbonyl compounds are regarded as interesting and highly reactive functional arrays which are capable of undergoing a myriad of transformations.
Such chemical properties can be exploited in novel and therapeutically useful ways by strategically incorporating these reactive α-ketocarboxylic moieties into a peptidic or peptidomimetic matrix.
Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) such as the Passerini and Ugi reactions offer the ability to rapidly and efficiently generate collections of structurally and functionally diverse organic compounds. The Passerini reaction is a chemical reaction involving isocyanides, aldehydes or ketones, and carboxylic acids to form α-acyloxy amides. Compounds that are available through the Passerini reaction may form highly valuable building blocks in the convergent synthesis of compounds with medicinal effects, such as for instance the prolyl dipeptide inhibitors Telaprevir or Boceprevir.
WO2007/0022450 discloses for instance the preparation of a cyclopropylamide by the coupling of Cb-norvalinal with cyclopropyl isocyanide in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid. The obtained compound is then deprotected, and the aminoalcohol then employed in a synthesis of Telaprevir. However, the disclosed synthesis is cumbersome, and only allows for a limited yield and variation of the building blocks involved.
Accordingly, the access to such compound through a more selective and higher yielding route would be highly desirable.
The subject invention now provides for a synthesis of α-hydroxy-aminocarboxylic acid derivatives such as to α-acyloxy β-formamido amides that advantageously can be employed in multicomponent reactions (MCRs), such as Passerini and Ugi reactions, which allow convergent syntheses with high atom and step efficiency in good yield.
Accordingly, the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a compound of the general formula I
comprising:
a) reacting a compound of the general formula II:
with a compound of the formula III:
R2—COOH (III),
and a compound of the general formula IV
R3—NC (IV)
wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aromatic or non-aromatic, monocyclic, polycyclic or alkylcycloalkyl or a heterocyclic structure;
R2 represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aromatic or non-aromatic, mono-, di- or tricyclic, or heterocyclic structure; and
R3 represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl structure, or a protective group that can reversible be removed.
In a first aspect, the present invention provides novel methods for the synthesis of α-hydroxy-β-amino acid and amide derivatives according to formula I and intermediates thereto. These derivatives may be advantageously be employed as intermediates for synthesis of peptidyl α-ketoamides and α-hydroxy-β-amino carboxylic acid derivatives which are useful as inhibitors of certain proteases, including serine and cysteine proteases.
The process preferably involves reacting an N-terminally protected amino aldehyde with an isonitrile and a carboxylic acid to give an amino α-acyloxy carboxamide. The acyl group may then be removed to give the derivative, or may advantageously remain in position. Alternatively, the protecting group may removed and an acyl shift may advantageously take place. The reaction is performed under such conditions that compound I is formed.
The process according to present invention provides an improved synthetic route to intermediates for the end target compounds, with economy of synthesis, namely fewer synthetic steps, improved yields, less consumption of reagents and fewer side products than are obtained following conventional synthetic routes.
In the process according to the invention, R1 preferably represents a hydrogen, a straight chain alkyl, a branched chain alkyl, a cycloalkyl, an alkylene-cycloalkyl preferably —CH2-cyclopropyl or —CH2-cyclobutyl, an aryl, alkylene-aryl, SO2-alkyl, SO2-aryl, alkylene-SO2-aryl, -alkylene-SO2-alkyl, heterocyclyl or alkylene-heterocyclyl; CH2CO—X—H, —CH2CO—X-straight chain alkyl, —CH2CO—X-branched chain alkyl, —CH2CO—X-cycloalkyl, —CH2CO—X-alkylene-cycloalkyl, —CH2CO—X-aryl, —CH2CO—X-alkylene-aryl, —CH2CO—X-heterocyclyl, —CH2CO—X-alkylene-heterocyclyl or —CH2CO-aryl; wherein X represents O, S or NH.
R2 preferably represents hydrogen, a straight chain alkyl, a branched chain alkyl, a cycloalkyl, an alkylene-cycloalkyl, an aryl, and/or alkylene-aryl.
R3 preferably represents a straight chain alkyl, a branched chain alkyl, a cycloalkyl, an alkylene-cycloalkyl, an aryl, and/or alkylene-aryl.
In a preferred embodiment of the subject invention, R1 represents an alkyl group such as ethyl or preferably n-propyl, or an alkylcycloalkyl group, such as cyclobutylmethyl. More preferably R2 preferably is a lower carboxylic acid group, preferably an acetate group, and R3 preferably is a cyclopropyl group.
The process according to the present invention further advantageously comprises a step b) of isolating the obtained compound I from the reaction mixture.
This may be done by any suitable method known to a skilled person, such as extraction, chromatographic separation, distillation, crystallization or otherwise suitable process or combinations thereof.
Alternatively, the compound remains in the reaction mixture, and the isocyanide compound is added to the mixture.
Preferably, the aldehyde compound according to formula II is derived from a substituted 2-amino-1-ethanol according to general formula V:
Preferably, the alcohol is enantiomerically substantially pure, since this allows accessing a large number of different stereoisomeric compounds from substituted alcohols, thus from relatively simple building blocks.
Compound II may advantageously be prepared from an substituted 2-amino-1-ethanol according to general formula V by A) N-formylation, and B) by a selective oxidation of the primary alcohol of the obtained N-formylated amino alcohol intermediate to an aldehyde.
Steps (A) and (B) may be performed by any suitable method known to a person skilled in the art.
Preferably, step (B) includes a Dess-Martin oxidation of the alcohol to an aldehyde.
The oxidation is advantageously performed by employing a Dess-Martin oxidation. In this way, the stereogenic centre and various substituents R1 can be introduced from often commercially or synthetically readily available 2-aminoethanols. A so-called Dess-Martin oxidation employs the Dess-Martin Periodinane (DMP), a hypervalent iodine compound for the selective and very mild oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes or ketones, as disclosed for instance in Y. Yip, F. Victor, J. Lamar, R. Johnson, Q. M. Wang, J. I. Glass, N. Yumibe, M. Wakulchik, J. Munroe, S.-H Chen, Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2004, 14, 5007-5011.
The oxidation preferably may be performed in dichloromethane, chloroform of THF at room temperature, and is usually complete within 0.5-2 hours. Products are easily separated from the iodine-containing by-products after basic work-up.
Preferably, the Dess-Martin oxidation according to the invention is performed in the presence of compound IV, in such a way that the aldehyde II that is formed during the Dess-Martin oxidation immediately reacts in a Passerini reaction with the acetic acid that is formed as a by-product of the Dess-Martin oxidation as carboxylic acid III and isocyanide IV. This has the tremendous benefit that the atomic efficiency of the reaction is increased, since the Dess-Martin Periodinane (DMP) also provides a reactant for the second stage of the reaction, i.e., the Passerini three-component reaction. In addition, the combination of two reaction steps in one pot is advantageous in terms of both time and resources, since among other benefits less solvent and manpower are required due to the single workup stage, and since less separation steps by chromatography are required. Accordingly, compound II is advantageously not isolated after step B), but the isocyanide component IV is added to the reaction mixture after the oxidation is complete. In this case, the lower carboxylic acid, preferably acetic acid released from the Dess-Martin Periodinane acts as component III, thereby resulting in a carbon efficient process with minimal handling and isolation issues. Moreover, the aldehyde compounds obtained can directly be converted with high selectivity to compound (I) as defined herein above, which is usually more stable than the aldehyde component, thereby increasing the overall yield. Accordingly the present invention also relates to a process including combining the Dess-Martin oxidation in one pot with the Passerini reaction to afford α-acyloxy-β-formamido amides (I) directly.
The process according to the present invention further advantageously comprises a step c) of subjecting compound Ito dehydrating conditions to obtain an isocyanide compound according to general formula VI:
This may advantageously be achieved for instance by treatment of the formamido compound (I) with phosgene, diphosgene (trichloromethylchlorofolurate), triphosgene [bis(trichloromethyl) carbonate], and/or POCl3. The reaction step (c) usually performed in the presence of a base, typically a tertiary amine base such as triethylamine or N-methylmorpholine.
Preferably, therefore, R2 is a lower carboxylic acid, more preferably acetate.
In a preferred embodiment of the subject process, R1 is preferably is an alkyl group, such as n-propyl, or an alkylcycloalkyl group, preferably —CH2-cyclopropyl or —CH2-cyclobutyl.
In a further preferred embodiment of the subject process, R3 is a cycloalkyl or hydrogen, or a protective group as usually employed to reversibly protect primary amines.
In yet a further preferred embodiment of the subject process, R1, R2 and R3 are chosen such that the compound according to formula VI has a structure according to general formula VII:
In yet a further preferred embodiment of the subject process, R1, R2 and R3 are chosen such that the compound according to formula VI has a structure according to general formula VIII:
wherein R1 represents a lower carboxylic acid group, preferably acetate, and R2 represents reversibly attached protective group.
The isocyanide compound VI can advantageously be employed in reaction processes such as Ugi or related multicomponent reactions that make use of isocyanide compounds in the convergent synthesis of complex structures, such a prolyl dipeptide structures.
Accordingly, the subject process further advantageously comprises reacting the compound according to formula IV with a compound having the general formula IX:
or the respective diastereomers, and
a compound of the general formula X:
R7—COOH (X),

R6 represents the structure derived from compound I wherein R1, R2 and R3 are defined herein above, and
R7 represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl, or an aromatic or non-aromatic aromatic or non-aromatic, mono-, di- or tricyclic, or heterocyclic structure, and R7 represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl, or an aromatic or non-aromatic aromatic or non-aromatic, mono-, di- or tricyclic, or heterocyclic structure, under conditions that compound XI is formed.
In the case of R5 being different from hydrogen, the diastereomers of compound IX referred to above include the following compounds of general formula IXa and IXb, respectively:
resulting predominantly in the compounds of general formula XIa and XIb, respectively:
The (3R,7S)-diastereomers, i.e. the diastereomers having the opposite configuration of the substituents R4 can also be employed, yielding the equivalent (3R,7S)-configured proline derivatives XI.
Preferably, both substituents R5 represent hydrogen, and both substituents R4 jointly form a substituted or unsubstituted 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 7- or 8 membered ring structure. More preferably, R4 is chosen such that the compound according to formula I has the structure according to formula XII:

or according to formula XIV:

In a preferred embodiment of the subject process, the compound according to formula XII
is reacted with a compound according to general formula XVI:
and a compound according to general formula VII as defined herein above to obtain a compound according to formula XVII:
After the reaction, compound XVII may advantageously be isolated from the reaction mixture.
The subject process further preferably comprises subjecting the compound according to formula XVII to a saponification reaction to remove the acetate from the secondary alcohol at the α-hydroxy-β-amino acid structure.
The saponification preferably is carried out by contacting the compound according to formula XVII with an alkaline metal carbonate, preferably K2CO3 in a suitable solvent, to obtain a saponified alcohol product according to formula XVII a (not depicted here). The subject invention also relates to compounds XVII and XVIIa.
The released intermediate compound XVIIa comprising the secondary alcohol is then subjected to a selective oxidation to a ketone to form compound XVIII,
This compound, which is also known as Telaprevir, could be prepared in higher yields than any previously disclosed processes according to the process of the present invention.
In a further preferred embodiment of the subject process, a compound according to general formula XVIII above is reacted with an acid compound according to general formula XIX:
and an isocyanate compound according to the present invention according to general formula XXI:
This reaction will result in compound XXI,
which may advantageously be saponified to a secondary alcohol and subsequently oxidized to a ketone, thereby yielding, after removal under suitable conditions of the R2 group, a compound according to formula XXIII:
also known as Boceprevir.
The process according to the present invention advantageously permits to selectively produce the two diastereomers according to the general formula XXIIa:
and according to the general formula XXIIb, respectively,
The subject invention therefore also relates to a process wherein XIIa or XIIb are selectively prepared, and to the thus obtained compounds XXIa or XXIb as well as to compounds XIIa or XIIb.
Suitable solvents for the subject reaction are polar protic and aprotic organic solvents, including methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol and other alcohol solvent, tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, acetonitrile, and/or mixtures of these solvents with water or less polar organic solvents, such as dichloromethane or chloroform.
The saponification or removal of the ester group through hydrolysis may be performed by any suitable method known to a skilled person. Preferably, it is carried out by contacting the obtained reaction product according to formula I with an alkaline metal carbonate, more preferably K2CO3 in a suitable solvent, to obtain a saponified alcohol product. The saponified alcohol product may then advantageously be oxidised selectively at the secondary alcohol function, preferably without affecting the other structures on the compound, to yield a ketone compound.
The selective oxidation is preferably carried out by contacting the saponified alcohol product with a suitable oxidant in a suitable solvent. Suitable solvents include dichloromethane, THF, ethyl acetate, DMSO.
