Studies toward the synthesis of alpha-fluorinated phosphonates via tin-mediated cleavage of alpha-fluoro-alpha-(pyrimidin-2-ylsulfonyl)alkylphosphonates. Intramolecular cyclization of the alpha-phosphonyl radicals.

Treatment of the alpha carbanions generated from several alpha-(pyrimidin-2-ylsulfonyl)alkylphosphonates with Selectfluor gave high yields of the alpha-fluoro-alpha-(pyrimidin-2-ylsulfonyl)alkylphoshonates, which were desulfonylated [Bu(3)SnH/2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN)/benzene or toluene/Delta] to give alpha-fluoroalkylphosphonates. "Catalytic" tin hydride, generated from tributyltin chloride and excess polymethylhydrosiloxane in the presence of potassium fluoride, also effected removal of the pi-deficient alpha-(pyrimidin-2-ylsulfonyl) group from the phosphonate esters. Substitution of Bu(3)SnD for Bu(3)SnH gave access to alpha-deuterium-labeled phosphonates. Prolonged treatment of alpha-(pyridin-2-ylsulfonyl)alkylphosphonate with excess Bu(3)SnH/AIBN or catalytic tin hydride also effected desulfonylation but in moderate yields. This represents a mild new methodology for removal of the synthetically useful pi-deficient heterocyclic sulfone moiety and an alternative route for the preparation of alpha-fluorinated phosphonates. Desulfonylation is suggested to proceed via attack of tin radical at an oxygen (or sulfur) atom of the sulfonyl group to give a stabilized alpha-phosphonyl radical intermediate. The latter was found to undergo 5-exo-trig ring closure to give the corresponding 2-methylcyclopentylphosphonates. Treatment of diethyl 1-bromohex-6-enylphosphonate with Bu(3)SnH/AIBN produced an analogous mixture of ring-closure products. Treatment of [(2-bromo-5- methoxyphenyl)(fluoro)(pyrimidin-2-ylsulfonyl)]methylphosphonate with Bu(3)SnH resulted in an intramolecular radical [1,5]-ipso substitution reaction and migration of the pyrimidinyl ring to give fluoro[5-methoxy-2-(pyrimidin-2-yl)phenyl]methylphosphonate.

Elongated multiple electronic cascade and cyclization spacer systems in activatible anticancer prodrugs for enhanced drug release.

The design and synthesis of several novel elongated self-elimination spacer systems for application in prodrugs is described. These elongated spacer systems can be incorporated between a cleavable specifier and the parent drug. Naphthalene- and biphenyl-containing spacers were synthesized but did not eliminate. Prodrugs of the anticancer agents doxorubicin and paclitaxel are reported that contain two or three electronic cascade spacers. A novel catalytic application of HOBt was found for the synthesis of N-aryl carbamates through reacting a 4-nitrophenyl carbonate with an aniline derivative, to connect the 1,6-elimination spacers via a carbamate linkage. In addition, a double spacer-containing paclitaxel prodrug was synthesized, comprising a 1,6-elimination spacer and a bis-amine linker connected to paclitaxel via a 2'-carbamate linkage. Prodrugs in which the novel spacer systems were incorporated between a specific tripeptide specifier and the parent drug doxorubicin or paclitaxel proved to be significantly faster activated by plasmin in comparison with prodrugs containing conventional spacer systems. It is expected that the generally applicable novel spacer systems reported herein will contribute to future development of improved enzymatically activated prodrugs.

Regio- and diastereoselective preparation of tetrahydrobenzo[c]-1-aza-2lambda(5)-phospholes through dearomatization cyclization of lithiated N-benzyl-N-alkyl(diphenyl)phosphinamides. Synthesis of gamma-(N-alkylamino)phosphinic acids.

A study of the protonation of the cycloadducts derived from the dearomatization reaction of lithiated N-alkyl-N-benzyldiphenylphosphinamides has been carried out. The regio- and stereoselectivity of the process has been analyzed in terms of the size of the N-alkyl substituent, the acidity and size of the protonating reagent, and the cosolvent used. The optimization of these variables allowed the preparation of tetrahydrobenzo[c]-1-aza-2lambda(5)-phospholes containing a 1,3-cyclohexadiene or 1,4-cyclohexadiene system with moderate to excellent regio- and stereocontrol. The heterocycles were readily hydrolyzed, affording gamma-(N-alkylamino)diphenylphosphinic acids with the functionalities linked to a cyclohexadiene substructure.

An epiisopicropodophyllin aza analogue via palladium-catalyzed pseudo-domino cyclization.

A new aza analogue of epiisopicropodophyllin (the C-3 epimer of podophyllotoxin) has been synthesized exploiting two original strategic steps. Rings A/B and E are entered at an early stage via a cationic benzhydrylation process. A palladium-catalyzed pseudo-domino (Pd-PDOM) intramolecular process generates rings C/D in a single synthetic operation.

Total synthesis of (+)-isoschizandrin utilizing a samarium(II) iodide-promoted 8-endo ketyl-olefin cyclization.

The 13-step synthesis of (+)-isoschizandrin reported herein features a samarium(II) iodide-promoted 8-endo ketyl-olefin coupling to assemble the eight-membered ring present in the target concomitantly with the required functionality and stereochemistry. In constructing (+)-isoschizandrin as a single atropisomer, the synthesis utilizes a kinetic resolution of a seven-membered lactone using a CBS-oxazaborolidine.

Identification of novel macrocyclic peptidase substrates via on-bead enzymatic cyclization.

Peptidase-catalyzed formation of macrocyclic lactams on solid phase identifies ring systems that are favorably bound in the enzyme active site. We evaluated several cyclic peptide motifs linked by ester bonds between the P2 and P1' or the P1 and P2' side chains. The depsipeptide represented by structure 5 was readily generated by a variety of peptidases from precursor omega-amino acids or omega-amino esters. This strategy for identifying ring systems for potential macrocyclic transition state analogues was demonstrated with the serine peptidases trypsin and chymotrypsin, with the aspartic peptidase pepsin, and with the zinc peptidase thermolysin.

Stereospecific rearrangements during the synthesis of pyrrolidines and related heterocycles from cyclizations of amino alcohols with vinyl Sulfones.

Conjugate additions of amino alcohols derived from alpha-amino acids to vinyl sulfones, followed by N-benzylation, chlorination, and intramolecular alkylation, provide a convenient route to substituted pyrrolidines. The process is accompanied by the stereospecific rearrangement of substituents from the alpha-position of the amine to the beta-position of the product and takes place via the corresponding aziridinium ion intermediates. Another type of rearrangement was observed during the reaction of (2-piperidine)methanol or 2-(2-piperidine)ethanol with phenyl trans-1-propenyl sulfone, in which the methyl group appears to migrate from the beta- to the alpha-position of the sulfone moiety. This process involves the isomerization of phenyl trans-1-propenyl sulfone to phenyl 2-propenyl sulfone by the addition-elimination of catalytic benzenesulfinate anion to the former vinyl sulfone, followed by conjugate addition of the amino group to the latter sulfone. Chlorination and intramolecular alkylation then afford the corresponding rearranged indolizidine and quinolizidine derivatives, respectively.
