Means: The quinazoline derivative represented by general formula (I) below: (in the formula, each of the symbols is the same as described in the specification) or a salt thereof, or a hydrate or solvate thereof, and a method for using the same to produce novel quinazoline derivatives.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to novel quinazoline derivatives that are useful as synthesis intermediates for pharmaceuticals and physiologically active substances, particularly as intermediates in the production of agents for the treatment and prevention of cancer, and to a method for production of the same.


BACKGROUND ART

Quinazoline derivatives represented by general formula (1a):


{The reference symbols in the formula are such that, for example, m denotes an integer of 1 or 2, R1 denotes a halogen atom, either R′ or R″ denotes:


(In the formula, X denotes —C(O)—, and R4, R5 and R6 each individually denotes a C1 to C5 alkyl that may be substituted.), and the remaining one of R2 and R3 denotes:


[In the formula, m′ denotes an integer from 0 to 3, R8 and R9 each individually denotes a C1 to C5 alkyl that may be substituted, R11 and R12 each individually denotes a hydrogen atom or C1 to C5 alkyl, Y denotes:


(In the formula, p and q each individually denotes an integer of 2 or 3, and Z denotes —O— or a carbonyl.)]}


exhibit inhibitory action with respect to both the EGF receptor and the HER2 receptor (dual inhibitory actions), and are known to have cancer cell growth inhibitory actions (see Patent Document 1).


A known general synthesis example for this type of quinazoline derivative involves, for example, a reaction between a quinazoline compound, wherein R′ is a nitro group or amino group and R″ is a chlorine atom or bromine atom, and a substituted alkyne compound in the presence of a metal reagent such as Pd to produce an alkynyl quinazoline derivative, followed by conversion to the corresponding amino compound, followed by derivation of a vinylamide.


In the above method, the reaction in which the quinazoline compound and alkyne compound bond together is carried out under high-temperature conditions.


Furthermore, in the reaction that generates a carbon-carbon bond using a Pd catalyst, various investigations have been carried out regarding reaction conditions in the vicinity of room temperature, but all of these use costly unstable reagents (see Non-Patent Document 1). For this reason, there is need for the discovery of a simple technique for obtaining and handling the reagent in order to carry out this reaction on an industrial scale.


In addition to the above, it has not been possible to achieve adequate yields in the step in which the aminoquinazoline derivative is converted to the vinylamide quinazoline derivative.


The yield of vinylamidation of the amino groups of the aminoquinazoline derivative is generally known to be low (see Non-Patent Documents 2 and 3). It has been hypothesized that polymerization by way of the vinyl groups may be a factor, and details regarding a similar reaction with an oxazolidinone derivative have been reported (see Non-Patent Documents 4 and 5).


In light of the above, there is need for the discovery of a synthesis method for alkynyl quinazoline derivatives as well as a technique for increasing the yield at which vinylamide groups are created in order to produce vinylamidoquinazoline derivatives on an industrial scale.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
Problems to Be Solved by the Invention

It is necessary to solve problems such as those described above in order to industrially produce quinazoline derivatives of the type represented by general formula (1a).


Specifically, an object of the present invention is to provide an industrially advantageous production method and a novel synthesis intermediate in this production method by means of (1) relaxing the conditions for the reaction between the quinazoline compound and alkyne compound, and (2) creating vinylamide groups at higher yields.


Means for Solving the Problems

In the Pd catalyst oxidative addition reaction, it is known that the corresponding iodo compounds have higher reactivity than the bromo compounds and chloro compounds for organic halides substituted with SP2 carbons (Palladium Reagent and Catalysts, Tsuji, J. Eds.; John Wiley & Sons: Chichester, 1995; Chapter 1).


The present inventors investigated reactions between quinazoline derivatives represented by general formula (I) below:


(In the formula, m denotes an integer from 0 to 3, R1 denotes a hydrogen atom, halogen atom, hydroxy group, cyano group, nitro group, trifluoromethyl group, C1 to C5 alkyl group, C1 to C5 alkoxy group, —S(O)fR12 (In the formula, f denotes an integer from 0 to 2 and R12 denotes a C1 to C5 alkyl group.), —NR13R14 (In the formula, R13 and R14 each individually denotes a hydrogen atom, C1 to C5 alkyl group, C1 to C5 alkanoyl group, or C1 to C5 alkylsulfonyl group.), C2 to C5 alkenyl group, or C2 to C5 alkynyl group, and either one of R2 and R3 denotes general formula (II) below:


(In the formula, R4, R5 and R6 each individually denotes a hydrogen atom, C2 to C5 alkyl group that may have substituents, C7 to C12 aralkyl group that may have substituents, or C6 to C10 aryl group that may have substituents, R7 denotes —SO2R15, —SOR15, or —OR15 (In the formula, R15 denotes a C1 to C5 alkyl group that may have substituents, C7 to C12 aralkyl group that may have substituents, or C6 to C10 aryl group that may have substituents) and the remaining one of R2 and R3 denotes an iodine atom. Note that each R1 may be the same or different when m denotes 2 or 3.)


and alkyne compounds represented by general formula (VII):


(In the formula, R8a and R9a each individually denotes a hydrogen atom, or a C1 to C5 alkyl group that may be substituted with a hydroxyl group or C1 to C5 alkoxy group, p denotes an integer from 0 to 3, R10a and R11a each individually denotes a hydrogen atom or C1 to C5 alkyl group, Ya denotes a hydrogen atom, hydroxy group, C1 to C5 alkoxy group, C1 to C5 alkanoyloxy group, piperazin-1-yl that has a C1 to C5 alkyl group that may be substituted at the 4-position, or an amino that is disubstituted with C1 to C5 alkyls that may be substituted).


As a result, by using the corresponding iodo compound, a coupling reaction was successfully carried out between the quinazoline compound (I) and alkyne compound (VII) under conditions that were more industrially advantageous than those with the chloro compound or bromo compound.


Furthermore, the present inventors attempted to improve yields by suppressing polymerization of the vinylamide quinazoline derivative or the like during production of the vinylamide quinazoline derivative. Specifically, the conversion reaction was successfully carried out at high yield and under mild conditions, and the present invention was realized as a result of investigations involving the production of a quinazoline derivative substituted at the β-position with a labile functional group such as compound represented by general formula (VIII)


{In the formula, m′ and R1a are the same as m and R1 in general formula (I) above, and either one of R16 and R17 denotes general formula (IX) below:

(In the formula, each of the symbols is the same as in general formula (VII) above.).}, followed by conversion to the vinylamidoquinazoline derivative represented by general formula (XI):

This compound XIV′-1 can be synthesized by the method described in J. Org. Chem., 1975, 40, 356. or the like) into XIV′-2 by means of a halogen exchange reaction.


The halogen exchange reaction can be carried out by using 1 to 100, and preferably 5 to 30, equivalents of quaternary ammonium salt (such as iodobenzyltriethylammonium) or inorganic iodine compound typified by sodium iodide or potassium iodide.


The reaction may be carried out at −50 to 300° C., and preferably 100 to 200° C., in a hydrocarbon-based solvent such as toluene, an ether-based solvent such as tetrahydrofuran (hereinafter “THF”), methyltetrahydrofuran, or ethylene glycol, an ester-based solvent such as ethyl acetate, or isopropyl acetate, or an aprotic polar solvent such as an N,N-dimethylformamide (hereinafter “DMF”), 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, dimethylsulfoxide (hereinafter “DMSO”), or acetonitrile.


Step 2 is a step in which compound XIV-1 is derived by allowing a reaction to occur at the 3-position of the quinazoline ring of compound XIV′-2.


The reaction can be carried out using 0.8 to 100 equivalents, and preferably 1 to 5 equivalents, of 3,4-dimethoxybenzyl chloride, 3,4-dimethoxybenzyl bromide, 4-methoxybenzyl chloride, 4-methoxybenzyl bromide, benzyl chloromethyl ether, or trifluoroacetic anhydride with respect to compound XIV′-2.

Furthermore, reduction can be carried out using 0.001 to 0.05 equivalent of FeCl3 in the presence of 0.8 to 100 equivalents, and preferably 1 to 5 equivalents, of hydrazine. Under these conditions, the reaction can be carried out in the presence or absence of activated carbon.


The reaction can also be carried out at −50 to 300° C., and preferably 0 to 100° C. in a hydrocarbon-based solvent such as toluene, an ether-based solvent such as THF, methyltetrahydrofuran, or ethylene glycol, an ester-based solvent such as ethyl acetate or isopropyl acetate, an aprotic polar solvent such as DMF, 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, DMSO, or acetonitrile, or an alcohol-based solvent such as ethanol, methanol, isopropyl alcohol (“IPA” below), propanol, or butanol or without a solvent.


Step 4 involves allowing a reaction to occur between carbonic acid XX (Z=OH) or acid halide thereof and the amino group of compound XIV-2, thereby producing the amide compound XIV-3 (R4, R5, R6 and R7 are as described above; reference literature: Chem. Ber., 1924, 57, 202 and J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1952, 74, 1323.).


The reaction is allowed to occur using 0.8 to 100 equivalents, and preferably 1 to 5 equivalents, of XX with respect to compound XIV-2. When the Z in compound XX is —OH, then the reaction is allowed to occur using 0.8 to 100 equivalents, and preferably 1 to 10 equivalents, of a typical peptide bond-forming reagent (such as 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride, N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, 1-propylphosphonic acid cyclic anhydride, diethyl chlorophosphate, isobutyl chloroformate, pivaloyl chloride, or thionyl chloride).


Even when the Z of compound XX is —OH or —Cl, the reaction can be carried out in the presence or absence of organic base (such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, pyridine, N-methylmorpholine, or DABCO) or inorganic base (such as potassium carbonate, sodium hydride, potassium bicarbonate, sodium hydroxide, or potassium phosphate).


The reaction can be carried out at −50 to 200° C., and preferably 0 to 50° C. in a hydrocarbon-based solvent such as toluene, an ether-based solvent such as THF, methyltetrahydrofuran, or ethylene glycol, an ester-based solvent such as ethyl acetate or isopropyl acetate, or an aprotic polar solvent such as DMF, 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, DMSO, or acetonitrile.


Step 5 is a step involving conversion of R22 of compound XIV-3 (a 3,4-dimethoxybenzyl group, 4-methoxybenzyl group, benzyloxymethyl group, or trifluoroacetyl group) into a hydrogen atom. The reaction can be carried out at −50 to 300° C., and preferably 0 to 100° C., in the presence of 0.1 to 100 equivalents of inorganic acid (such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid), or organic acid (such as trifluoroacetic acid or acetic acid), in a hydrocarbon-based solvent such as toluene, an ether-based solvent such as THF, methyltetrahydrofuran, or ethylene glycol, an ester-based solvent such as ethyl acetate or isopropyl acetate, an aprotic polar solvent such as DMF, 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, DMSO, or acetonitrile, an alcohol-based solvent such as ethanol, methanol, IPA, propanol, or butanol, or without a solvent.


Step 6 is a reaction in which compound I-1 is produced by allowing 0.8 to 100 equivalents, and preferably 0.9 to 5 equivalents, of aniline derivative XVIII to react after converting the 4-position of the quinazoline ring of compound XIV-4 to a chlorine atom. Chlorination of compound XIV-4 is carried out by using 0.8 to 100 equivalents, and preferably 1 to 10 equivalents, of a chlorination reagent that is commonly used, such as phosphorus oxychloride, thionyl chloride, phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus pentachloride, or N-chlorosuccinic acid imide. Furthermore, the 4-position of the quinazoline ring of compound XIV-4 can be converted to a chlorine atom, even if a quaternary ammonium salt such as tetramethylammonium chloride, tetraethylammonium chloride, benzyltrimethylammonium chloride, or benzyltriethylammonium chloride is used together with the chlorination reagent (Can. J. Chem., 1981, 59, 2601.).


This reaction can also be carried out in the presence or absence of an organic base (such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, pyridine, N-methylmorpholine, or DABCO), or inorganic base (such as potassium carbonate, sodium hydride, potassium bicarbonate, sodium hydroxide, or potassium phosphate).


This reaction can be carried out at −50 to 200° C., and preferably 0 to 100° C., where the reaction solvent is a hydrocarbon-based solvent such as toluene, an ether-based solvent such as THF, methyltetrahydrofuran, or ethylene glycol, an ester-based solvent such as ethyl acetate or isopropyl acetate, or an aprotic polar solvent such as DMF, 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, DMSO, or acetonitrile.


Similarly, of the quinazoline derivatives represented by general formula (I) above, quinazoline derivatives in which either of R2 and R3 is represented by general formula (II) above and the other is an iodine atom can be produced, for example, in the manner described below (route B).


Step 7 is a step in which the aniline derivative XVIII is allowed to react after conversion of the 4-position of the quinazoline ring of compound XIV′-2 to a chlorine atom, thereby producing compound XV-1. In this step, synthesis is possible by the same method as in the process of Step 6.


Step 8 is a step in which the nitro group of compound XV-1 is reduced to derive compound XV-2. In this step, synthesis can be carried out in the same manner as in the process of Step 3.


Step 9 is a step in which carboxylic acid XX (Z=OH) or acid halide thereof is allowed to react with the amino group of compound XV-2, thereby producing an amide I-1. In this step, synthesis is possible by the same method as Step 4.


A quinazoline derivative having vinylamide bonding of the type represented by general formula (VII) can be produced in the same manner as below from I-1 in which either R2 or R3 in general formula (I) is represented by general formula (II) above and the other is an iodine atom (route C).


Step 10 is a step in which compound VIII-1 is produced by allowing the iodine atom of compound I-1 to react with compound VII using a Pd catalyst in the presence of a copper salt. The reaction is carried out in the presence of 0.001 to 1 equivalent, and preferably 0.001 to 0.2 equivalent, of a monovalent copper salt such as copper chloride, copper bromide, or copper iodide with respect to compound I-1, and in the presence of palladium conjugate prepared from 0 to 1 equivalent, and preferably 0 to 0.4 equivalent, of unidentate phosphine ligand such as triphenylphosphine, tributylphosphine, or tri-tert-butylphosphine, or bidentate phosphine ligand such as 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene, 1,3-bis(biphenylphosphino)propane, 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane, (R)-(+)-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl, or (S)-(−)-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl on 0.001 to 1 equivalent, and preferably 0.001 to 0.2 equivalent, of 0-valent or divalent palladium catalyst such as palladium chloride, palladium acetate, palladium dichlorobis(benzonitrile)), dichlorobis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)palladium, di-p-chlorobis(triphenylphosphine)dipalladium, tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium, or tris(dibenzylidene acetone)dipalladium. Examples of bases suitable for the reaction include 0 to 100 equivalents, and preferably 1 to 10 equivalents, of a nitrogen-containing base such as triethylamine, diethylamine, or pyridine or inorganic bases such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, or cesium fluoride, and regarding the solvent, compound VIII-1 may be derived by treating at −50 to 300° C., preferably 10 to 40° C., and more preferably 15 to 30° C., in a hydrocarbon-based solvent such as toluene, an ether-based solvent such as THF, methyltetrahydrofuran, or ethylene glycol, an ester-based solvent such as ethyl acetate or isopropyl acetate, an aprotic polar solvent such as DMF, 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, DMSO, or acetonitrile, or an alcohol-based solvent such as ethanol, methanol, IPA, propanol, or butanol.


Conversion of compound VIII-1 to XI-1 is carried out under mild conditions of the type whereby polymerization of the vinylamide moieties of compound XI-1 can be suppressed. Auxiliary agents that are used are, for example, organic bases typified by triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, pyridine, DABCO or the like, inorganic bases typified by potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, potassium phosphate, potassium t-butoxide or the like, and inorganic or organic fluorides such as tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride, benzyltriethylammonium fluoride, tetraethylammonium fluoride, potassium fluoride, and cesium fluoride.


Compound XI-1 can be derived by means of treatment at −50 to 300° C., and preferably 10 to 60° C., in a hydrocarbon-based solvent such as toluene, an ether-based solvent such as THF, methyltetrahydrofuran, or ethylene glycol, an ester-based solvent such as ethyl acetate or isopropyl acetate, an aprotic polar solvent such as DMF, 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, DMSO, or acetonitrile, or an alcohol-based solvent such as ethanol, methanol, IPA, propanol, or butanol.
