Description

New process for the simultaneous protection and activation of amino acids}

 The present invention protects the amine functionality in the synthesis of key intermediates in the field of fine chemicals such as peptide synthesis and pharmaceuticals or pesticides, and increases the reactivity of the carboxyl group to play an important role in synthesizing more useful substances. The present invention relates to a novel production method for protecting an amine group by protecting the trifluoroacetyl group, and converting the carboxyl group into a state of increasing the reactivity of the hydroxy succinimide ester form, thereby protecting the amine group and increasing the reactivity. .

 In general, after protecting the amine of an amino acid with a protecting group in the production of peptide bonds, a key component of the protein, the carboxylic acid portion of the amino acid is known as N-trifluoroacetoxy succinimide (abbreviated as TFA-NHS). The carboxylic acid moiety is transformed into hydroxy succinimide ester form, which greatly increases the reactivity, which facilitates the reaction with another amino acid, thereby producing a desired peptide bond. The method was already described by Zonnal Obshchei Khimii 45 vol. 11, 2497, in 1975 by Ponomareva-Stepnaya, MA.

There are several known methods for protecting nitrogen in amino acids. First, acetyl groups are introduced. Shibagaki et al., Published in 1989, Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, Vol. To introduce amine and acetic acid, the reaction was heated at 200 ° C. for 5 hours in the presence of Hydrous Zirconium (IV) oxide to complete the N-acetylation reaction. de Vries et al. reported that in the literature published in Tetrahedron Letters, vol. 41, page 2467, amines and CH ₃ CN were converted to platinum (II) to synthesize N-acetylamine derivatives. The reaction was carried out at 160 ° C. for 5 hours in the presence of a catalyst to obtain the target compound. Kulkarni et al., In the literature published in Green Chemistry Vol. 2, pp. 104, 2000, synthesized N-acetylamine derivatives by heating amine and acetic acid at 116 ℃ for 5 hours in the presence of a catalyst containing HY-Zeolite. Synthesized. Chen et al. Synthesized N-acetylamine derivatives in the literature published in Organic Letters, vol. 3, pp. 3729, 2001, heated amine and acetic acid at 50 ° C. for 3 hours in the presence of an acylation catalyst containing Vanadyl Triflate. The desired compound was synthesized. Kumar et al., 2002, published in the Journal of Molecular Catalysis A: Chemical, Vol. 181, pp. 207, amine and acetic acid were heated at 110-125 ° C for 2 hours in the presence of Lewis acid catalyst containing Yttria-Zirconia. Synthesized. Sreedha et al., In the 2003 Journal of Molecular Catalysis A: Chemical, Vol. 191, pp. 141, amine and acetic acid were heated at 116 ° C. for 2 hours in the presence of an activated carbon catalyst containing Iron (III) oxide. Was synthesized. In 2003, Ranu et al., Published in Green Chemistry Vol. 5, pp. 44, synthesized the desired compound by reacting amine and acetic anhydride at 80-85 ° C for 2 hours without using a solvent. On the other hand, since the conditions when the trifluoroacetyl group is removed instead of the acetyl group are relatively gentle compared to other protecting groups and are easily applicable to large scale planting, a preferred method of introducing trifluoroacetyl groups into amines of amino acids has long been proposed. Efforts have been made in many ways. In 1952, EJ Broune et al. Introduced trifluoroacetyl groups in amines using trifluoroacetic anhydride (CF ₃ CO-O-COCF ₃ ) in a paper published in the Journal of Chemical Socity 4014. Acetic anhydride has a low boiling point, high volatility, and high corrosiveness, making it a technology that can be handled only in a small laboratory system. In 1955, M. Calvin et al. Introduced trifluoroacetyl groups in amines using S-ethyl trifluorothioacetate in a paper published in Journal of American Chemical Socity Vol. 77, pp. 2779. Due to its strong smell, it did not lead to industrialization and eventually exceeded the technical level of the previous method. In 1960, HA Staab et al. Angew. Chem. In a paper published on page 72, 35, N- (trifluoroacetyl) imidazole was synthesized and reacted with amine to introduce trifluoroacetyl group into amine. However, N- (trifluoroacetyl) imidazole itself is sensitive to moisture, There was a limit to dealing. In the late 1970s, attempts were made to introduce trifluoroacetyl groups into amines using ethyl trifluoro-acetate.In 1979, TJ Curphey published a paper in Journal of Organic Chemistry, Vol. 44, page 2805. The study using ethyl trifluoroacetate seemed to be the mainstream when K. Prasad et al. Published a paper using ethyl trfluoroacetate on Tetrahedron Letters, vol. 36, 7357, and in 2000, M. Parashad et al. Published on Tetrahedron Letters, vol. 41, 9957. The method has the advantage of commercialization of ethyl trifluoroacetate, but the conditions for introducing trifluoroacetyl group into the amine are high, requiring high temperatures of more than 85 degrees Celsius or low yield, especially M. Parashad et al. This paper, published in Tetrahedron Letters, vol. 41, pp. 9957, uses 4-dimethylaminopyridine as a catalyst, but at 24 degrees C. The introduction of an acetyl group to the method ineffective trifluoromethyl provided that the reaction is complete be between adverse events. In addition, T. Kaumi et al. Used 2-[(trifluorofluoro) oxy] pyridine as a reagent for introducing trifluoroacetyl groups into amines, trifluoro triflate for TR Forbus, and trifluoroacetyl benzotrizole for AR Katritzky et al. Although they were used as acetyl group introduction reagents, these reagents were limited methods such as by-product generation and the use of non-commercialized reagents to directly introduce trifluoroacetyl groups into amines. Unlike these methods, the trifluoroacetyl group was activated in a slightly different direction from the study of introducing a trifluoroacetyl group into the amine using a reagent that has been somewhat more reactive by introducing a trifluoroacetyl group into the amine. In order to introduce trifluoroacetyl groups by directly reacting amines with trifluoroacetic acid instead of using an introduction reagent, research was actively conducted. In 2003, J. Salazar et al. Published in Journal of Fluorine Chemistry, vol. In this paper, trifluoroacetyl groups were introduced by reacting amines with trifluoroacetic acid by sculpting microwave special wavelengths.In more recently, in 2007, J. Charris et al. Published a paper in Journal of Fluorine Chemistry, Vol. 128, p. 566. Phosphorus pentoxide (P ₂ O ₅ ) and Hexamethyldisiloxane made by boiling 2 hours in benzene Tridyl acetyl group was introduced by directly reacting amine and trifluoroacetic acid using cid trimethylsilylester as a water-absorbing condensation reagent, but all of them used special equipment or the first step to make condensation reagent and using trifluoride Multi-step reactions, such as the second step of reacting roacetic acid and amines, had to be used and yields were not satisfactory. In the most recent 2009, Y. Kikugawa et al., In a paper published in Tetrahedron Letters 50, 1681, tried to react arylamine and trifluoroacetic acid directly by boiling xylene in a pyridine catalyst as a solvent. Considering that it boils around 140 degrees Celsius, there are still many problems that need to be improved.

As described above, conventional techniques for protecting nitrogen of amino acids so far known are methods for introducing trifluoroacetyl groups to amines or acetyl groups to amines. As described above, the reaction conditions of these processes are expensive. Not only are there problems such as high temperature violent conditions using the catalyst or a long reaction time, but also require the synthesis of another reagent to introduce these functional groups and the presence of acid-sensitive functional groups in the reaction. It is difficult to commercialize due to problems such as by-products, lower yields, and difficulty in purification, which has led to the development of a new manufacturing process that can protect amine groups under mild reaction conditions at room temperature and room temperature. Has been demanded . Research has also been conducted in various ways to protect carboxylic acids, which are another important functional group of amino acids, in ester form or to increase reactivity. N-hydroxy succinimide esters have long been used to control amino acid, peptide, protein, amino acid, peptide, It has been used as a method of introducing a functional group protecting a carboxylic acid of a protein. Callahan et al. Synthesized carboxylic acid and N-hydroxysuccinimide in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in order to synthesize N-hydroxysuccinimide ester derivatives in the literature published in Journal of American Chemical Society, Vol. 86, pp. 1839, 1964 to obtain the target compound. However, this reaction has a disadvantage in that it is difficult to remove dicyclohexylurea obtained as a by-product. Parameswaren synthesized N-hydroxysuccinimide ester derivatives by reacting carboxylic acid with bis (N-succinimidyl) -carbonate in the literature published in 1990, Organic Preparation and Procedures, Vol. 22, 119. However, the synthesis of the coupling reagent (N-succinimidyl) carbonate and then reacted with the carboxylic acid again has the disadvantage that the target compound must be synthesized in two steps. Pochlauer et al. Synthesized N-hydroxysuccinimide ester derivatives by heating carboxylic acid and N-hydroxysuccinimide at 40-50 ° C for 24 hours in the presence of chlorophosphate in the literature published in Tetrahedron Vol. 54, page 3489, 1998. In order to synthesize N-hydroxysuccinimide ester derivatives in Molecules Vol. 6, p. 47, 2001, Christensen reacted carboxylic acid with thionyl chloride under DMF catalyst, converted to acid chloride, and then reacted with N-hydroxysuccinimide for 12 hours at 40 ℃. N-hydroxysuccinimide ester derivatives were synthesized. However, this reaction also has a disadvantage that can be obtained by synthesizing the target compound from the carboxylic acid in two steps. Najera et al. Synthesized N-hydroxysuccinimide ester derivatives by reacting carboxylic acid with uronium salts derived from N-hydroxysuccin-imide and 1,3-dimethylpropyleneurea in 2002, published in Tetrahedron Letters 43, page 1661. However, this reaction also has the disadvantage of synthesizing the uronium salt as a coupling reagent and then reacting with the carboxylic acid again to synthesize the target compound in two steps. Wentland et al. Synthesized the target compound by carbonylation reaction of aryl triflate or aryl iodide in the presence of N-hydroxysuccinide and palladium catalyst in order to synthesize N-hydroxysuccinimide ester derivatives in 2003, published in Tetrahedron Letters 44, page 2477. It was. However, this reaction has a disadvantage in that N-hydroxysuccinimide ester derivative is obtained by heating at 70 ° C. for 17 hours in a carbon monoxide atmosphere. Giannis et al. (2004), published in Advanced Synthesis and Catalysis, Vol. 346, pp. 252, reacted aldehydes with N-hydroxysuccinimide in the presence of 1-hydroxy-1,2-benziodoxol-3 (1H) -one 1-oxide to N-hydroxysuccinimide ester. Derivatives were synthesized. In this reaction, however, the reaction mixture is refluxed for 2-3 hours using ethyl acetate as a solvent. As described above, conventional techniques for obtaining N-hydroxysuccinimide ester derivatives have been obtained by preparing a coupling reagent and reacting with carboxylic acid again to synthesize N-hydroxysuccinimide ester derivative as a target compound in two steps. These reactions have problems such as intense reaction conditions at high temperature or long time, and when acid-sensitive functional groups are present inside the reactants, byproducts may occur, resulting in lowered yields or difficulty in purification. As a result, the development of a new manufacturing process capable of introducing N-hydroxysuccinimido groups into carboxylic acids has long been required as a task in this field. After protecting the amine of an amino acid with a protecting group in a more advanced way of protecting and reactivity of the carboxylic acid, the carboxylic acid portion of the amino acid is then referred to as N-trifluoroacetoxy succinimide (abbreviated as TFA-NHS). ), The carboxylic acid moiety is transformed into the form of hydroxy succinimide ester, which greatly increases the reactivity, which was described by Zonnal Obshchei Khimii 45, No. 11, 2497, in 1975, by Ponomareva-Stepnaya, MA et al. There is a bar. On the other hand, T. Sudhakar Rao et al. Reported that in 2002, Tetrahedron Letters 43, 7793, reacted N-trifluoroacetoxy succinimide (TFA-NHS) with unprotected amino acids for both amines and carboxylic acids. It has been reported that modification of the carboxylic acid moiety to the imide ester form, i.e. to the carbonyl group with increased reactivity, may occur simultaneously. However, these methods also suffer from the problem of synthesizing and using N-trifluoroacetoxy succinimide (TFA-NHS) to protect or increase the reactivity of the carboxylic acid. Although N-trifluoroacetoxy succinimide (TFA-NHS) is such a useful compound, the synthetic methods known to date have been described using trifluoroacetic anhydride (CF ₃ CO-O-COCF ₃ ). Only methods for reacting with N-hydroxysuccinimide are known.

In 1980, SM Andreev et al. Reported that trifluoroacetic anhydride (CF ₃ CO-O-COCF ₃ ) was 1.2 to N-hydroxysuccinimide in a patent application filed in the former Soviet Union Patent Publication No. SU-747854. N-trifluoroacetoxy succinimide (TFA- NHS) is obtained using 2.0 mole times, but the low boiling point, high volatility and high corrosion of trifluoroacetic anhydride are not only handled in laboratory small systems. It was just a skill. Thus far, the method of synthesizing N-trifluoroacetoxy succinimide is a method of reacting trifluoroacetic anhydride (CF ₃ CO-O-COCF ₃ ) with N-hydroxysuccinimide. Only known is the urgent need for the development of new industrial methods.

As described above, the present inventors have a problem that the reaction conditions of the process for introducing an acetyl group or a trifluoroacetyl group to protect the amine group of an amino acid are a high temperature intense condition using an expensive catalyst or a long reaction time. In addition to this, the synthesis of another reagent is required to introduce these functional groups, and when acid-sensitive functional groups are present inside the reaction, unwanted by-products occur, resulting in poor yield and difficulty in purification. While careful attention has been given to the difficulty of commercialization, several problems faced by previous methods for protecting or increasing the reactivity of another important functional group of amino acids, carboxylic acids, including N-trifluoroacetoxy succinimide CAR using (TFA-NHS) A problem with previous methods of increasing the reactivity while protecting acids, namely trifluoroacetic anhydride (CF ₃ CO-O-COCF ₃ ), is reacted with N-hydroxysuccinimide to N-tri In the process of obtaining fluoroacetoxy succinimide (TFA-NHS) and reacting with a carboxylic acid of an amino acid to convert the carboxylic acid into a hydroxy imide ester to protect, this method is known as trifluoroacetic anhydride. Because of its low boiling point and high volatility as well as its high corrosiveness, it is only a technique that can be handled in a laboratory small-scale system, and the next step is to synthesize N-trifluoroacetoxy succinimide (TFA-NHS). Pay close attention to the problems, such as the two-step reaction that must be proceeded to Efforts have been made to develop a desirable method to enhance the reactivity while protecting the acid, resulting in the direct reaction of N-hydroxy succinimide with trifluoroacetic acid and amino acids to protect the nitrogen of the amino acid with a trifluoroacetyl group. At the same time, the present invention has been completed by developing a preferable method which can increase the reactivity while protecting and converting the carboxylic acid of the amino acid into the hydroxy imide ester form.

The present invention is a method that plays an important role in synthesizing more useful substances by protecting the nitrogen functional group and increasing the reactivity of the carboxyl group in the synthesis of key intermediates in the field of fine chemicals such as peptide synthesis and pharmaceuticals or pesticides. The present invention relates to a novel process for obtaining an amino acid derivative that protects an amine, protects a carboxyl group, and enhances reactivity by protecting a trifluoroacetyl group and simultaneously converting a carboxyl group into a state of increased hydroxy succinimide ester reactivity. A method of directly reacting hydroxy succinimide with trifluoroacetic acid and amino acids, wherein the amino acid is subjected to normal pressure with N-hydroxy succinimide, trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of bis (trichloromethyl) carbonate and triethylamine, Mild around room temperature It is a method of synthesis by reacting at a reaction temperature condition. The present inventors introduced trifluoroacetyl groups into amino acid nitrogen under mild reaction conditions at normal pressure and near room temperature to protect amine groups while converting and protecting the carboxyl groups of the amino acid into hydroxy succinimide ester form while increasing the reactivity of the carboxyl groups. Efforts have been made to obtain derivatives. While trying to establish conditions under which trifluoroacetic acid can be activated to react with N-hydroxy succinimide and amino acids to obtain the desired compound, The bis (trichloromethyl) carbonate of) is activated by trifluoroacetic acid at a gentle reaction temperature of about 0 degrees Celsius to room temperature to react directly with N-hydroxy succinimide and amino acid of formula (III) The nitrogen of the amino acid of (I) is protected with a trifluoroacetyl group and Hydroxy acid is already known that it can easily obtain the amino derivative converted to de-ester form, thereby completing the present invention.

In Formula (I), L represents a portion excluding amino group (-NH ₂ ) and carboxyl group (-COOH) from amino acids Alanine, Glycine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Tryptophan, Valine and Histidine.

In the present invention, the following chemical structure (II) used as an activation reagent of trifluoroacetic acid

Bis (trichloromethyl) carbonate is used as a cyclic carbonate synthesis reagent from 1,3-cyclic diol, as published by Burk et al., 1993, page 395 of Tetrahedron Letters 34, no.3, or in 2000 by J. Organometallic Chem. It was used as a reagent for the production of ferrocenoyl chloride from ferrocene carboxylic acid as published on vol. 604, p. 287. It is a reagent mainly used for the polymerization reaction. It activates trifluoroacetic acid and reacts with N-hydroxy succinimide and amino acid to protect the amino group of amino acid with N-trifluoroacetyl group, Amino acid derivative synthesis reagents that convert to midesters and enhance protection and reactivity were first identified and developed by the present inventors.

The reaction conditions of the process for introducing an acetyl group or trifluoroacetyl group to protect the amine group of the amino acid are not only disadvantageous such as high temperature violent conditions using an expensive catalyst or long reaction time, but also such functional groups It was difficult to commercialize due to problems such as the synthesis of another reagent to be introduced and the presence of acid-sensitive functional groups present inside the reactants, resulting in undesired by-products, reduced yields, and difficulty in purification. As described above, N-trifluoroacetoxy succinimide (TFA-NHS), which is another important functional group of amino acids, protects carboxylic acids and enhances reactivity, among other problems. Increase reactivity while protecting carboxylic acids Key issues in the previous method to hold, that is, trifluoroacetic acetic anhydride _{(CF 3 CO-O-COCF} 3) of N- hydroxy succinimide in the acetoxy-N- trifluoro-imide by reaction with succinimide In the process of obtaining (TFA-NHS) and reacting with the carboxylic acid of the amino acid to convert the carboxylic acid into the hydroxy imide ester form, the method may be low in boiling point and highly volatile of the trifluoroacetic anhydride. In addition, it is highly corrosive and is only a technology that can be handled in a laboratory small-scale system, and a two-step reaction that requires the synthesis of N-trifluoroacetoxy succinimide (TFA-NHS) and proceeds to the next step. The present invention, which can solve various problems, such as a disadvantage, increases the reactivity while protecting the amine group of the amino acid and also protects the carboxylic acid of the amino acid. As a preferred method, N-hydroxy succinimide can be directly reacted with trifluoroacetic acid and amino acid to provide a new manufacturing process that can be synthesized in one step. In addition, by completing the present invention which can prepare the desired amino acid derivative under normal pressure and mild reaction conditions near room temperature, the manufacturing process conditions have secured a synthesis method excellent in the reliability and reproducibility of the reaction, and the present invention is applied to industrialization. Compared to the previous method, the reaction step and process time can be drastically reduced, and the separation and purification of the target compound can be easily performed without causing environmental problems by by-products.

 In the present invention, bis (trichloromethyl) carbonate of formula (II) is reacted with N-hydroxy succinimide of formula (III) by activating trifluoroacetic acid at a gentle reaction temperature of about 0 ° C to room temperature. Subsequently, the amine group of the amino acid of formula (I) is protected by trifluoroacetyl group, and the carboxyl group of the amino acid is converted into hydroxy succinimide ester form to protect the amino acid derivative. Provides a new way to get
