BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A retrovirus designated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the etiological agent of the complex disease that includes progressive destruction of the immune system (acquired immune deficiency syndrome; AIDS) and degeneration of the central and peripheral nervous system. This virus was previously known as LAV, HTLV-III, or ARV. A common feature of retrovirus replication is the insertion by virally-encoded integrase of proviral DNA into the host cell genome, a required step in HIV replication in human T-lymphoid and monocytoid cells.
Integration is believed to be mediated by integrase in three steps: assembly of a stable nucleoprotein complex with viral DNA sequences; cleavage of two nucleotides from the 3'termini of the linear proviral DNA; covalent joining of the recessed 3'OH termini of the proviral DNA at a staggered cut made at the host target site. The fourth step in the process, repair synthesis of the resultant gap, may be accomplished by cellular enzymes.
Nucleotide sequencing of HIV shows the presence of a pol gene in one open reading frame [Ratner, L. et al., Nature, 313,277 (1985)]. Amino acid sequence homology provides evidence that the pol sequence encodes reverse transcriptase, integrase and an HIV protease [Toh, H. et al., EMBO J. 4,1267 (1985); Power, M. D. et al., Science, 231,1567 (1986); Pearl, L. H. et al., Nature, 329,351 (1987)]. All three enzymes have been shown to be essential for the replication of HIV.
It is known that some antiviral compounds which act as inhibitors of HIV replication are effective agents in the treatment of AIDS and similar diseases, including reverse transcriptase inhibitors such as azidothymidine (AZT) and efavirenz and protease inhbitors such as indinavir and nelfinavir. The compounds of this invention are inhibitors of HIV integrase and inhibitors of HIV replication.

Furthermore, other methods for preparing compounds of the invention will be readily apparent to the person of ordinary skill in the art in light of the following reaction schemes and examples.
Unless otherwise indicated, all variables are as defined above.
The compounds of the present invention can be prepared by the coupling of suitable (poly) azanaphthenyl carboxylic acids (or acid derivatives such as acid halides or esters) with the appropriate amines, as represented by the following general scheme:
SCHEME 1
EMI64.1
Compound I
Methods for coupling carboxylic acids with amines to form carboxamides are well known in the art. Suitable methods are described, for example, in Jerry March,
Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3rd edition, John Wiley & Sons, 1985, pp. 370-376.
Amines of formula 1-1 can be prepared using the methods described in Richard
Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, VCH Publishers Inc, 1989, pp 385438, or routine variations thereof. Azanaphthenyl and polyazanaphthenyl carboxylic acids of formula 1-2 can be prepared using methods described in Ochiai et al.,
Cher. Ber. 1937,70: 2018,2023; Albert et al., J. Allem. Soc. 1952,4985,4991; and
Barlin et al., Aust. J. Chem. 1990,43: 1175-1181 ; or routine variations thereof.
Schemes 2-16 below illustrate and expand upon the chemistry portrayed in Scheme 1.
In Scheme 2, following the procedure set forth in Ornstein et al., J.
Med. Chefs. 1989,32: 827-833, a cyclic anhydride such as quinolinic anhydride (i. e.,
Zl = Z2 = Z3 = CH in 2-1) can be opened with isopropanol to provide mono acid 2-2, which can be converted to the corresponding acyl chloride 2-3 (e. g., by refluxing thionyl chloride). Acyl chloride 2-3 can then be reduced (e. g., with NaBH4 or
LiBH4) to the corresponding alcohol 2-4, which can be converted to the corresponding bromide through the action of bromine in the presence of triphenylphosphine. Alkylation of the bromide with the sodium anion of phenylsulfonamide 2-5 in a polar aprotic solvent like DMF can provide sulfonamide 2-6, which can be treated with a base (e. g., alkali metal alkoxide such as sodium methoxide) to provide the bicyclic ester 2-7 via a Dieckmann cyclization.
Saponification of the ester (e. g., with aqueous NaOH at reflux) will afford the acid 28. The acid 2-8 can be activated with triphosgene and coupled with a variety of amines to provide the compounds of the invention 2-9.
The starting anhydrides of formula 2-1 can be prepared via methods described in Philips et al., Justus Liebigs Ann. Chem. 1895,288: 2535; Bernthsen et al., Cliem. Ber. 1887; 20: 1209; Bly et al., J. Org. C7iem. 1964,29: 2128-2135 ; and
Krapcho et al., J. Heterocycl. Chem. 1993,30: 1597-1606; or routine variations thereof.

Halogen substituted compounds of the present invention can be prepared as shown in Scheme 4. The acid chloride 2-3 can be reacted with glycine methyl ester to provide the amide 4-1.
Dieckmann cyclization of the ester 4-1 with a sodium alkoxide base in an alcoholic solvent like methanol will provide phenol 4-2., which can be reacted with phosphorous oxychloride, followed by methanolysis of the intermediate phosphonate esters to provide 4-3. The ester bond of 4-3 can react selectively with suitable amines (e. g., 3-benzylpiperidine is depicted in Scheme 4) to provide the corresponding halogenated derivative 4-4.

The preparation of compounds that feature additional substituents can be achieved as shown in Scheme 5. Oxidation of the alcohol 2-4 with manganese dioxide in an inert solvent such as methylene chloride will provide aldehyde 5-1. The addition of Grignard reagents (such as phenyl magnesium bromide) to aldehyde moiety 5-1 can occur regioselectively to provide the alcohol 5-2, which can then be elaborated to the compounds of the invention 5-6.

A further synthetic route to prepare compounds that are the subject of the invention is shown in Scheme 6.
This methodology allows access to naphthyridine derivatives that are substituted at the 2,3,4 and 5 positions. Briefly, a 2-substituted 5-hydroxypyridine derivative 6-1 can be treated with bromine to undergo bromination at the 6 position to afford 6-2, which can be converted to the methoxypyridine 6-3 and then oxidized to the corresponding N-oxide 6-4. The Noxide can be nitrated to provide 6-5. Reduction of 6-5 with iron in the presence of ammonium chloride can provide the aniline 6-6, which can be reacted with an alpha, beta-unsaturated aldehyde or ketone in the presence of an acid catalyst like sulfuric acid to provide 6-7 via an annulation. The bromide 6-7 can be elaborated to the amide 6-9 via a sequence of carbonylation and amidation reactions.
2-Substituted 5-hydroxypyridine derivatives of formula 6-1 can be prepared via methods described in Sorm et al., Collect. Czech. Chem.. Commun.. 1949, 14: 331,342; and Saksena et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 1993,34: 3267-3270: or routine variations thereof.

Compounds of the invention that comprise an amino substituent at the 5 position can be prepared in the manner set forth in Schemes 7 and 8.
Bromination of the phenol 7-1 occurs regioselectively upon treatment with NBS in an inert solvent like methylene chloride to afford 7-2. Reaction of this bromide with an amine at elevated temperatures in the presence of a polar solvent such as DMPU affords compounds of the invention 7-3. Similar reaction of the bromide 7-2 (Scheme 8) with a diamine such as ethylene diamine in DMF as solvent will afford the formylated derivative 8-1 in addition to the expected diaminoethane derivative.

Preparation of compounds of the invention substituted with an acetylene can be prepared according to Scheme 13, which exemplifies the procedure for the naphthyridine core.
Following protection of the iodide 13-2 as its benzoate 13-3, the acetylenic group (for example propynol) can be appended by employing a suitable palladium catalyst in the presence of copper iodide. Aminolysis of the ester 13-4 will afford the amide 13-5 with concomitant deprotection of the benzoate ester.
Alternately the ester 13-4 can be converted to the corresponding amine and sulfone derivatives as shown in Schemes 14 and 15. Scheme 16 shows that the preparation of the nitrile derivative 16-2 can be achieved via a palladium catalyzed cyanation of the iodide 13-4.

In the processes for preparing compounds of the present invention set forth in the foregoing schemes, functional groups in various moieties and substituents may be sensitive or reactive under the reaction conditions employed and/or in the presence of the reagents employed. Such sensitivity/reactivity can interfere with the progress of the desired reaction to reduce the yield of the desired product, or possibly even preclude its formation. Accordingly, it may be necessary or desirable to protect sensitive or reactive groups on any of the molecules concerned.
Protection can be achieved by means of conventional protecting groups, such as those described in
Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, ed. J. F. W. McOmie, Plenum Press, 1973 and in T. W. Greene & P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John
Wiley & Sons, 1991. The protecting groups may be removed at a convenient subsequent stage using methods known in the art. Alternatively the interfering group can be introduced into the molecule subsequent to the reaction step of concern.
For example, if one or more of the substituents Rl, R2, R3, and R4 in compound 1-1 can interfere with the coupling reaction between compounds 1-1 and 1-2 of Scheme 1, the substituent can be incorporated into the molecule in a post-coupling step to afford
Compound I.
The following examples serve only to illustrate the invention and its practice. The examples are not to be construed as limitations on the scope or spirit of the invention.
EXAMPLE 1 7- [ (3-phenylpyrrolidin-1-yl) carbonyl]-1, 6-naphthyridin-8-ol
EMI79.1
Step 1: Preparation of 3-{ [Methoxycarbonylmethyl-(toluene-4-sulfonyl) aminol-methyl-yridine-2-carboxxlic acid isopropyl ester
Isopropyl 3- (hydroxymethyl) pyridine-2-carboxylate (prepared in accordance with P. Ornstein et. al. J. Med. Chem. 1989,32,827) (200g, 1.02 mol), methyl N- [ (4-methylphenyl) sulfonyl] glycinate (249g, 1.02 mol), and triphenylphosphine (403g, 1.5 mol) were dissolved in dry THF (3000mls) and cooled to zero degrees under N2.
The diethylazodicarboxylate (DEAD) (267.6 g, 1.5 mol) was dissolved in dry THF (250 mls) and placed in a 500 ml addition funnel. The
DEAD was added dropwise over 1 hour. The ice bath was removed and the reaction was allowed to warm slowly to RT. After 2 hours, the reaction was checked by HPLC (above conditions) and some glycinate remained. More starting reagents were added and the reaction was left to stir at RT. After 30 min, the reaction was checked again and saw a very small amount of the glycinate remaining. Concentrated reaction down to a reddish-orange oil that was carried onto the next step.
Step 2: Preparation of methyl 8-hydroxy-1, 6-naphthyridine-7-carboxylate 3- { [Methoxyc arbonylmethyl-(toluene-4-sulfonyl)-amino]-methyl}- pyridine-2-carboxylic acid isopropyl ester (1.02 mol) was dissolved in dry methanol (4000ml) and cooled to zero degrees under nitrogen. Then via addition funnel, sodium methoxide (137.8g, 2.5 mol) was added slowly to avoid any exotherm. The reaction was stirred at zero degrees, and checked by HPLC after 1.5 hours and was found to be completed. The solvent was removed in vacuo to obtain a reddish-orange oil, which was partitioned between water (1L) and ethyl acetate (1L). The organic layer was back extracted with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution.
The pH of the aqueous layer was adjusted to 7, and the layer was maintained at this pH while extracting with methylene chloride. The organic layer was dried with Na2SO4, filtered, and the solvent was removed in vacuo to obtain a tan solid. The solid was dissolved in hot ethyl acetate, and the solution was filtered while hot to filter out any insoluble material. The product precipitated upon cooling. The precipitate was then filtered and dried in a vacuum oven. The filtrate was recrystallized by concentrating the filtrate and redissolving the resulting solid in a minimal amount of methylene chloride. Sufficient ethyl acetate was added to turn the solution slightly cloudy, after which the solution was boiled to reduce the volume, cooled, and the resulting crystals were filtered out and dried in a vacuum oven.
