Definitions
- the present invention is broadly concerned with methods for synthesizing various epothilone segments or precursors (either naturally occurring or analogs thereof) which can be used for the efficient synthesis of complete epothilones. More particularly, the invention pertains to such synthesis methods wherein, inter alia, the epothilone segment C is prepared using a unique Noyori reduction scheme, and epothilone segments B and C are connected via a novel aldol condensation reaction. These sytheses cain be used to prepare the naturally occurring segments and a wide variety of corresponding analogs and homologs.
- the epothilones (16-membered macrolides which were initially isolated from the myxobacterium Sorangium cellulosum ) represent a class of promising anti-tumor agents, and have been found to be potent against various cancer lines, including breast cancer cell lines. These agents have the same biological mechanism of action as Taxol, an anti-cancer drug currently used as a primary therapy for the treatment of breast cancer.
- Taxol an anti-cancer drug currently used as a primary therapy for the treatment of breast cancer.
- Other potential applications of the epothilones could be in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, malaria and diseases caused by gram-negative organisms. Other cancers such as ovarian, stomach, colon, head and neck and leukemia could also potentially be treated.
- the epothilones also may have application in the treatment of arthritis.
- the epothilones In comparison to Taxol®, the epothilones have the advantage of being active against drug-resistant cell lines. Drug resistance is a major problem in chemotherapy and agents such as the epothilones have overcome this problem and hold great promise as effective agents in the fight against cancer.
- Taxol® has led to the formulation of this drug as a 1:1 ethanol-Cremophor concentrate. It has been determined that the various hypersensitive reactions in patients such as difficulty in breathing, itchiness of the skin and low blood-pressure are caused by the oil Cremophor used in the formulation.
- the epothilones are more water soluble than Taxol® which has positive implications in its formulation. Further advantages of the epothilones include easy access to multi-gram quantities through fermentation procedures. Also the epothilones are synthetically less complex, thus structural modifications for structure activity relationship studies are easily accessible.
- the epothilones exhibit their activity by disrupting uncontrolled cell division (mitosis), a characteristic of cancer, by binding to organelles called microtubules that are essential for this process. Microtubules play an important role in cell replication and disturbing the dynamics of this component in the cell stops cell reproduction and the growth of the tumor. Antitumor agents that act on the microtubule cytoskeleton fall into two general groups: (1) a group that inhibits microtubule formation and depolymerizes microtubules and, (2) a group that promotes microtubule formation and stabilizes microtubules against depolymerization. The epothilones belong to the second group and have displayed cytotoxicity and antimitotic activity against various tumor cell lines.
- the present invention overcomes the problems outlined above, and provides various practical, commercially feasible synthesis routes for the production of important epothilone precursors or segments in high yield.
- the invention is particularly concerned with synthesis of the precursors or segments C, D (which is a combination of segments B and C) and vinyl halide epothilone precursors.

- the method comprises the steps of first providing a ⁇ -keto ester of the formula
- n 1 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 and P′ are as defined above, and T is an alkyl group.
- This ⁇ -keto ester is then preferentially hydrogenated at the C3 keto group to form the corresponding hydroxyester. This is accomplished by reacting the ⁇ -keto ester with a hydrogenating agent in the presence of an asymmetric organometallic molecular catalyst comprising a metal atom or ion having one or more chiral ligands coupled thereto. The synthesis is completed by then converting the hydroxyester to the epothilone precursor.

- the hydroxyester resulting from the Noyori reduction is converted to the epothilone precursor segment C.
- a number of routes can be used to effect this conversion
- the conversion involves: (1) removing the P′ protecting group from the hydroxyesterto form adiol; (2) protecting the oxygen atoms of the diol, forming a protected diol; (3) reducing the ester function of the protected diol to a primary alcohol; (4) oxidizing the primary alcohol to the corresponding aldehyde; (5) reacting the aldehyde with a Grignard reagent having the R 4 group coupled thereto to form a secondary alcohol; and (6) oxidizing the secondary alcohol to form the final epothilone precursor.
- the P′ removal step involves reacting the hydroxyester with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst (e.g., Pd(OH) 2 or Pd/C) at a pressure of from about 40-100 psi.
- the oxygen atom protecting step comprises reacting the diol with TBS chloride in a compatible solvent (i.e., one that will not interfere with the desired reaction) at a temperature of from about 40-100° C. for a period of from about 30-60 hours.
- the ester function reduction step is preferably carried out by reacting the protected diol with the reducing agent DIBAL-H at a temperature of from about ⁇ 20 to -85° C.
- the oxidation of the primary alcohol is carried out most conveniently using 4-methylmorpholine N-oxide and a catalytic amount of tetrapropylammonium perruthenate.

- the segments B and C are connected by first reacting the segment C precursor with a base to form an enolate, followed by reacting the enolate with the segment B. These reactions are generally carried out by initially cooling the base to a temperature of about ⁇ 75° C., adding the segment C precursor and elevating the temperature of the mixture to about ⁇ 40° C., then recooling the mixture to at least about ⁇ 75° C. and adding the precursor segment B thereto.

- P′ is a protecting group
- M is either bromine or iodine.
- n 3 and P′ are as previously defined.
- the alkynyl ketone is asymmetrically reduced to create the alcohol form of the alkynyl ketone.
- This alcohol form is then reacted with a reagent system selected from the group consisting of (R 1 ) 3 Al and zirconocene dichloride or stannyl cupration reagent and R 1 -halide to form a vinyl metal species.
- the vinyl metal species is then reacted with an aryl or vinyl halide to form an allyl alcohol.
- This allyl alcohol is then converted to the vinyl halide epothilone precursor.
- the asymmetric reduction step involves creating the reduced form of the alkynyl ketone and the resulting alcohol is protected using TBS as a protecting agent.
- the R 1 -halide is selected from the group consisting of R 1 Br and R 1 I.
- the conversion step preferably includes the step of initially converting the allyl alcohol to an alkynyl stannane, reducing the stannane with chlorohydridozirconocene to form a 1,1 -dimetallo Zr—Sn species. The dimetallo species is then hydrated to form a vinyl stannane, which is then quenched with either iodine or bromine.
- the conversion step may be accomplished by transmetallating the dimetallo species with an organocuprate, quenching with an alkyl-R 2 —OTf, and final quenching with either iodine or bromine incorporating the R 2 group.
- the molecular architecture of representative epothilones (Formulae A-B) reveals three essential domains. These include the two chiral domains, namely the C1-C8 polypropionate region and the C12-C15 region, and the achiral spacer C9-C11 which unites the chiral domains. Additional structural features include a thiazole moiety, the C16 double bond, a methyl group at C4 and a cis-epoxide moiety (C12-C13) in the epothilones of Formula A.
- n 1 is an integer from 0-4, n 2 and n 3 are each respectively integers from 1-4, R is selected from the group consisting of C4-C8 cycloalkyl, and substituted and unsubstituted aromatic and heteroaromatic groups, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are each individually and respectively selected from the group consisting of H, C1-C10 straight and branched chain alkyl groups, substituted and unsubstituted benzyl groups, and C1-C10 alkoxy groups, R 5 and R 6 are each individually and respectively selected from the group consisting of H, substituted and unsubstituted aryl and heterocyclic groups, C1-C10 straight and branched chain alkyl groups, and substituted and unsubstituted benzyl groups, R 7 is H, or straight or branched chain C1-C10 alkyl groups, X is either oxygen or NH, and Y is either oxygen or H 2 .

Standard epoxidation and macrolactonization strategies are used for the formation of the C12-C13 epoxide moiety and the 16-membered macrolide.
- segment C has been accomplished via two unique and complementary routes, detailed in Schemes 2 and 3 below, which illustrates the synthesis of the naturally occurring segment C.
- a novel step in the synthesis of the C1-C6 segment utilizes the Noyori hydrogenation of ⁇ -keto ester 4 to generate the requisite stereochemistry at C3.
- This Noyori hydrogenation (Noyori, R. et al., in Asymmetric Hydrogenation of ⁇ - Keto Carboxylic Esters. A Practical, Purely Chemical Access to ⁇ - Hydroxy Esters in High Enantiomeric Excess, 109 J. Am. Chem. Soc. 5856-5858 (1987)) provides the required enantiomer with high selectivities (92-95% enantiomeric excess).
- the use of a Noyori hydrogenation reaction permits large, commercial scale production of segment C.
- the aldehyde is then reacted with EtMgBr using a reported procedure (Claus, et al., Synthesis of the C 1-C9 Segment of Epothilons, Tetrahedron Lett., 38:1359-1362 (1997)) to give the known secondary alcohol 10 in 65% yield.
- This alcohol is then oxidized to the C1-C6 segment C using TPAP and NMO.
- segment C is a key synthon in previously reported total syntheses (Nicolaou, et al., Total Syntheses of Epothilones A and B via a Macrolactonization - Based Strategy, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 119:7974-7991 (1997)) of the epothilones, the synthetic route utilizing the asymmetric Noyori hydrogenation is unique.
- the Noyori hydrogenation of ⁇ -keto ester 11 yields the known ⁇ -hydroxy ester 12 (Ali, et al., Formal Syntheses of Cryptophycin 1 and Arenastatin A, Tetrahedron Lett., 38:1703-1706 (1997)) in 97% yield (in 97% enantiomeric excess).
- the Frater alkylation of ⁇ -hydroxy ester 12 yields the previously reported ⁇ -methyl analogue 13 (Ali, et al., Formal Syntheses of Cryptophycin 1 and Arenastatin A, Tetrahedron Lett., 38:1703-1706 (1997)) in 71% yield (98% diastereomeric excess).
- a second Frater alkylation of hydroxy ester 13 gave bis-dimethyl derivative 5 in 59% yield which was then converted to epothilone segment C by the chemistry shown in Scheme 2.
- substituents such as benzyl, allyl and other C1-C6 alkyl groups can be introduced by using other electrophiles in the second Frater alkylation in place of iodomethane.
- the novel aspect about this alternate route to segment C is the ability to alter the substituents at the C4 position of the epothilones using the aforementioned Frater alkylation strategy.
- the invention makes it possible to synthesize several analogs of segment C with various chain elongations and/or substitutions at C2 and substitutions at the ⁇ -carbon relative to the keto group. It also allows for, as mentioned before, modifications at the carbon atom between the keto and the protected secondary hydroxy group with other groups.
- chain extensions and substitutions are illustrated by a general Formula C, wherein n 1 is as defined above, R 5 , R 6 and R 7 are as defined previously, and p′ is a protecting group, especially TBS or p-methoxybenzylidene acetal.
- the synthesis of these modified derivatives can be achieved utilizing chemistry exemplified in the synthesis of segment C in Schemes 2 and 3 respectively. These modified segments can then be utilized in the total synthesis of various analogs of epothilones.
- the synthesis of the C7-C11 segment B is preferably achieved using previously reported chemistry (Lin, Efficient Total Syntheses of Pumiliotoxins A and B, Applications of Iodide - Promoted Iminium Ion - Alkyne Cyclization in Alkaloid Construction, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 118:9062-9072(1996)) and is outlined in exemplary Scheme 4, which is precursor of a naturally occurring epothilone.
- This synthesis can also be used to introduce various chain-elongations on this segment and to introduce various other substituents at C-8. These modifications can be illustrated by Formula D, wherein n 2 and R 3 are as defined previously. Their synthesis can be achieved using chemistry exemplified in the synthesis of segment B in Scheme 4. Again, these modified segments can then be utilized in the total synthesis of various analogs of epothilones.
- connection of the two segments C and B utilizes a highly diastereoselective aldol reaction, exemplified in Scheme 5 showing the connection of the two precursors B and C of a naturally occurring epothilone.
- a base for example lithium diisopropylamide
- the resultant enolate reacted with C7-C11 aldehyde segment B a single desired diastereomer 14 was observed in 21% yield (unoptimized).
- This diastereselectivity is believed to arise from a favorable nonbonding interaction between the C10-C11 double bond and the carbonyl group of the aldehyde that gives rise to the desired diastereomer.
- the resultant secondary alcohol is protected as the corresponding tert-butyldimethylsilyl ether.
- the invention also provides a new route to the C12-C20 segment (segment A of the naturally occurring epothilone), and corresponding analogs thereof This involves new ways to set the C16-C17 trisubstituted double bond and the C12-C13 cis-double bond, which serves as precursor to the cis-epoxide at C12-C13 in the epothilones.
- the resultant alkenylalane is coupled with 2-methyl4-bromothiazole 17 in the presence of zinc chloride under Pd(0) catalysis to access the trisubstituted E-ofelin 19 stereoselectively following the protection of the alcohol 18 as the OTBS-ether.
- the chiral propargylic alcohol 16 is obtained via the asymmetric reduction of the readily available alkynyl ketone 15. This is exemplified in Scheme 6, which illustrates the synthesis of the precursor for the naturally occurring epothilone. After the introduction of the thiazole moiety, the known primary alcohol 21 is revealed by deprotection of the PMB ether 19 and then oxidized to the previously reported (Mulzer, J., et al. Easy Access to the Epothilone Family - Synthesis of Epothilone B, Tetrahedron Lett., 39:8633-8636 (1998)), C13-C20 aldehyde 22.
- the zirconium-catalyzed methylalurmination strategy constitutes a novel route to construct the C16-C17 double bond and to introduce the thiazole ring.
- the novelty lies in the use of a chiral propargylic alcohol like 16 in the carbometalation reaction followed by the direct introduction of the thiazole unit.
- thiazole ring can be replaced by other cyclic, aromatic and heteroaromatic rings by using other vinyl or aromaticlheteroaromatic halides in place of 2-methyl-4-bromothiazole 17 in the coupling reaction following either the carboalumination or stannylcupration strategy exemplified in Schemes 6 and 7 respectively.
- the C12-C13 olefin can be constructed in the form of Z-vinyl iodides I that can be obtained from vinylstannanes with defined configurations.
- the vinyl stannanes will be accessed by using known chemistry reported by Lipshutz et al., Preparation of Z-Vinylstannanes via Hydrozirconation of Stannylacetylenes, Tetrahedron Lett., 33 :5861-5864 (1992); Lipshutz, et al., Hydrozirconation/Transmetalation of Acetylenic Stannanes.
- the 1,1-dimetallo species 24 is generated by hydrozirconation of the alkynyl stannane 23 using chlorohydridozirconocene (Schwartz reagent).
- An aqueous quench would provide Z-vinylstannane 25a or alternatively, selective transmetalation with a higher order cuprate, followed by addition of an electrophile (MeOTf in case of epothilone B) to the resultant species provides the ⁇ -substituted vinylstannane 25b with high stereoselectivity.
- the Z-vinylstannanes 25a and 25b can then be transformed to the corresponding vinyl iodides I utilizing iodine with retention of configuration.
- the terminal epoxide in this olefin can then be opened with trimethylsilyl acetylide to give secondary alcohol 22a.
- the trimethylsilyl group can then be substituted for a trialkyl stannyl group on treatment of22a with TBAF and bis-tributyltin oxide and the obtained product treated with TBSCl to give compound 23.
- Two other epothilone derivatives of special interest may be synthesized in accordance with the invention.

The resulting mixture was stirred for 4 hours to allow the catalyst to form. The acetone was then removed under reduced pressure.
- beta ketoester 4 (5.36 g, 20.3 mmol, 71.5 eq.) in 23 mL MeOH was degassed four times and then transferred to a Parr hydrogenation flask using MeOH. The catalyst was then rinsed into the Parr flask using MeOH. The hydrogenation reaction was conducted over 110 hours at 65 psi and 60° C. The contents were concentrated under reduced pressure and then taken up in ether. The reaction mixture was filtered twice to remove the catalyst and then concentrated.

Abstract
Commercially feasible methods for synthesizing various epothilones precursors needed for the preparation of final epothilones are provided, including techniques for the synthesis of epothilone segment C using a stereoselective Noyori-type reduction, and the coupling of epothilone segments B and C using an aldol condensation reaction. The synthesis methods may be used to prepare naturally occurring segments as well as a large number of related analogs and homologs thereof. Final epothilones in accordance with the invention may also be of the naturally occurring variety (16-membered macrolides), while the homologs and analogs thereof are preferably up to 20-membered macrolides.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention is broadly concerned with methods for synthesizing various epothilone segments or precursors (either naturally occurring or analogs thereof) which can be used for the efficient synthesis of complete epothilones. More particularly, the invention pertains to such synthesis methods wherein, inter alia, the epothilone segment C is prepared using a unique Noyori reduction scheme, and epothilone segments B and C are connected via a novel aldol condensation reaction. These sytheses cain be used to prepare the naturally occurring segments and a wide variety of corresponding analogs and homologs.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- The epothilones (16-membered macrolides which were initially isolated from the myxobacteriumSorangium cellulosum) represent a class of promising anti-tumor agents, and have been found to be potent against various cancer lines, including breast cancer cell lines. These agents have the same biological mechanism of action as Taxol, an anti-cancer drug currently used as a primary therapy for the treatment of breast cancer. Other potential applications of the epothilones could be in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, malaria and diseases caused by gram-negative organisms. Other cancers such as ovarian, stomach, colon, head and neck and leukemia could also potentially be treated. The epothilones also may have application in the treatment of arthritis.
- In comparison to Taxol®, the epothilones have the advantage of being active against drug-resistant cell lines. Drug resistance is a major problem in chemotherapy and agents such as the epothilones have overcome this problem and hold great promise as effective agents in the fight against cancer.
- In addition, the poor water solubility of Taxol® has led to the formulation of this drug as a 1:1 ethanol-Cremophor concentrate. It has been determined that the various hypersensitive reactions in patients such as difficulty in breathing, itchiness of the skin and low blood-pressure are caused by the oil Cremophor used in the formulation. The epothilones are more water soluble than Taxol® which has positive implications in its formulation. Further advantages of the epothilones include easy access to multi-gram quantities through fermentation procedures. Also the epothilones are synthetically less complex, thus structural modifications for structure activity relationship studies are easily accessible.
- The epothilones exhibit their activity by disrupting uncontrolled cell division (mitosis), a characteristic of cancer, by binding to organelles called microtubules that are essential for this process. Microtubules play an important role in cell replication and disturbing the dynamics of this component in the cell stops cell reproduction and the growth of the tumor. Antitumor agents that act on the microtubule cytoskeleton fall into two general groups: (1) a group that inhibits microtubule formation and depolymerizes microtubules and, (2) a group that promotes microtubule formation and stabilizes microtubules against depolymerization. The epothilones belong to the second group and have displayed cytotoxicity and antimitotic activity against various tumor cell lines.
- It has been demonstrated on the basis of in vitro studies that the epothilones, especially epothilone B, are much more effective than Taxol® against multi-drug resistant cell line KBV-1. Preliminary in vivo comparisons with Taxol® in CB-17 SCID mice bearing drug-resistant human CCRF-CEM/VBL xenografts have shown that the reduction in tumor size was substantially greater with epothilone B in comparison to Taxol®.
- In light of the great potential of the epothilones as chemotherapeutic agents, there is a need for techniques allowing the practical, large scale, economical synthesis thereof. Furthermore, there is a need for synthesis methods which facilitate the preparation of various homologs and analogs of the known epothilones, and those having affinity labels allowing study of the binding interactions of these molecules.
- The present invention overcomes the problems outlined above, and provides various practical, commercially feasible synthesis routes for the production of important epothilone precursors or segments in high yield. The invention is particularly concerned with synthesis of the precursors or segments C, D (which is a combination of segments B and C) and vinyl halide epothilone precursors.

-
- where n1, R5, R6, R7 and P′ are as defined above, and T is an alkyl group. This β-keto ester is then preferentially hydrogenated at the C3 keto group to form the corresponding hydroxyester. This is accomplished by reacting the β-keto ester with a hydrogenating agent in the presence of an asymmetric organometallic molecular catalyst comprising a metal atom or ion having one or more chiral ligands coupled thereto. The synthesis is completed by then converting the hydroxyester to the epothilone precursor.
- More preferably, n1 is an integer from 0-4, R5, R6 and R7 are each individually and respectively selected from the group consisting of H and the straight and branched chain C1-C4 lower alkyls, and the protective group is benzyl. In terms of preferred process parameters, the hydrogenating agent is preferably H2 and the hydrogenating step is carried out at a pressure of from about 30-100 psi, more preferably 50-75 psi, and at a temperature of from about 40-100° C., more preferably from about 50-75° C. The reaction is normally allowed to proceed for a period of from about 12 hours to 5 days, and more usually for about 2-5 days. Typically, the reaction mixture is agitated during the hydrogenating step.
- The catalyst used in the hydrogenation reaction is preferably one of the well-known Noyori catalysts such as RuBr2(S)-bina. However, a variety of other catalysts of this type can also be employed. The catalyst is generally used at a level of from about 1-25 mol % in the reaction mixture.
- In order to complete the reaction sequence, the hydroxyester resulting from the Noyori reduction is converted to the epothilone precursor segment C. A number of routes can be used to effect this conversion Preferably, however, the conversion involves: (1) removing the P′ protecting group from the hydroxyesterto form adiol; (2) protecting the oxygen atoms of the diol, forming a protected diol; (3) reducing the ester function of the protected diol to a primary alcohol; (4) oxidizing the primary alcohol to the corresponding aldehyde; (5) reacting the aldehyde with a Grignard reagent having the R4 group coupled thereto to form a secondary alcohol; and (6) oxidizing the secondary alcohol to form the final epothilone precursor.
- Preferably, the P′ removal step involves reacting the hydroxyester with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst (e.g., Pd(OH)2 or Pd/C) at a pressure of from about 40-100 psi. The oxygen atom protecting step comprises reacting the diol with TBS chloride in a compatible solvent (i.e., one that will not interfere with the desired reaction) at a temperature of from about 40-100° C. for a period of from about 30-60 hours. The ester function reduction step is preferably carried out by reacting the protected diol with the reducing agent DIBAL-H at a temperature of from about −20 to -85° C. The oxidation of the primary alcohol is carried out most conveniently using 4-methylmorpholine N-oxide and a catalytic amount of tetrapropylammonium perruthenate. The Grignard reaction serving to attach the R4 group is entirely conventional and well within the skill of the art; likewise, the final oxidation of the secondary alcohol is trivial using the. aforementioned oxidation procedure, i.e., NMO and TPAP.
-
- where n2 is an integer from 1-4, and R3 is selected from the group consisting of H, C1-C10 straight and branched chain alkyl groups, substituted and unsubstituted benzyl groups, and C1-C10 alkoxy groups. This segment can be efficiently produced using known techniques.
- The segments B and C are connected by first reacting the segment C precursor with a base to form an enolate, followed by reacting the enolate with the segment B. These reactions are generally carried out by initially cooling the base to a temperature of about −75° C., adding the segment C precursor and elevating the temperature of the mixture to about −40° C., then recooling the mixture to at least about −75° C. and adding the precursor segment B thereto.
-
-
- wherein n3 and P′ are as previously defined. Thereafter, the alkynyl ketone is asymmetrically reduced to create the alcohol form of the alkynyl ketone. This alcohol form is then reacted with a reagent system selected from the group consisting of (R1)3Al and zirconocene dichloride or stannyl cupration reagent and R1-halide to form a vinyl metal species. The vinyl metal species is then reacted with an aryl or vinyl halide to form an allyl alcohol. This allyl alcohol is then converted to the vinyl halide epothilone precursor.
- Normally, the asymmetric reduction step involves creating the reduced form of the alkynyl ketone and the resulting alcohol is protected using TBS as a protecting agent. The R1-halide is selected from the group consisting of R1Br and R1I. The conversion step preferably includes the step of initially converting the allyl alcohol to an alkynyl stannane, reducing the stannane with chlorohydridozirconocene to form a 1,1 -dimetallo Zr—Sn species. The dimetallo species is then hydrated to form a vinyl stannane, which is then quenched with either iodine or bromine. Alternately, the conversion step may be accomplished by transmetallating the dimetallo species with an organocuprate, quenching with an alkyl-R2—OTf, and final quenching with either iodine or bromine incorporating the R2 group.
- The molecular architecture of representative epothilones (Formulae A-B) reveals three essential domains. These include the two chiral domains, namely the C1-C8 polypropionate region and the C12-C15 region, and the achiral spacer C9-C11 which unites the chiral domains. Additional structural features include a thiazole moiety, the C16 double bond, a methyl group at C4 and a cis-epoxide moiety (C12-C13) in the epothilones of Formula A. In the following formulae A and B, n1 is an integer from 0-4, n2 and n3 are each respectively integers from 1-4, R is selected from the group consisting of C4-C8 cycloalkyl, and substituted and unsubstituted aromatic and heteroaromatic groups, R1, R2, R3 and R4 are each individually and respectively selected from the group consisting of H, C1-C10 straight and branched chain alkyl groups, substituted and unsubstituted benzyl groups, and C1-C10 alkoxy groups, R5 and R6 are each individually and respectively selected from the group consisting of H, substituted and unsubstituted aryl and heterocyclic groups, C1-C10 straight and branched chain alkyl groups, and substituted and unsubstituted benzyl groups, R7 is H, or straight or branched chain C1-C10 alkyl groups, X is either oxygen or NH, and Y is either oxygen or H2.
- Scheme 1 below outlines a retrosynthetic analysis respecting the total synthesis of the epothilones of Formula A in accordance with the invention, where each n1 and n2 equal 1, R is 2-methyl-thiazol-4-yl, R1 is methyl, R2 is H or methyl, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are methyl, R7 is H, and X and Y are oxygen. Standard epoxidation and macrolactonization strategies are used for the formation of the C12-C13 epoxide moiety and the 16-membered macrolide. The analysis for other analog epothilones of Formula A is identical, and also for the epothilones of Formula B and its analogs, with the epoxidation step being omitted. Included among the novel features of this synthesis are the following:
- A novel route to the C1-C6 segment labeled C in Scheme 1 that utilizes a stereoselective hydrogenation reaction, i.e., a Noyori reduction.
- A novel connection of segments C and the C7-C11 segment B utilizing a diastereoselective aldol reaction that renders the required diastereomer.
-
- Synthesis of Segment C(C1-C6 of Formula A)
- The synthesis of segment C has been accomplished via two unique and complementary routes, detailed in Schemes 2 and 3 below, which illustrates the synthesis of the naturally occurring segment C. A novel step in the synthesis of the C1-C6 segment utilizes the Noyori hydrogenation of β-keto ester 4 to generate the requisite stereochemistry at C3. This Noyori hydrogenation (Noyori, R. et al., inAsymmetric Hydrogenation of β-Keto Carboxylic Esters. A Practical, Purely Chemical Access to β-Hydroxy Esters in High Enantiomeric Excess, 109 J. Am. Chem. Soc. 5856-5858 (1987)) provides the required enantiomer with high selectivities (92-95% enantiomeric excess). The use of a Noyori hydrogenation reaction permits large, commercial scale production of segment C.
- The required β-keto ester 4 is obtained in two steps from the readily available starting material 3-benzyloxypropionic acid (2). Asymmetric hydrogenation of 4 in methanol using RuBr2(S)-binap as catalyst at 60 psi gives the β-hydroxyester 5 in 71-85% yield (92-95% ee). Deprotection of the benzyl ether and bis-silylation of the resultant diol 6 provides ester 7. The ester is reduced to the known primary alcohol 8 using DIBAL-H. The alcohol is then oxidized to the known aldehyde 9 using a previously unreported oxidation procedure. The aldehyde is then reacted with EtMgBr using a reported procedure (Claus, et al., Synthesis of the C1-C9 Segment of Epothilons, Tetrahedron Lett., 38:1359-1362 (1997)) to give the known secondary alcohol 10 in 65% yield. This alcohol is then oxidized to the C1-C6 segment C using TPAP and NMO.
- In summary, although segment C is a key synthon in previously reported total syntheses (Nicolaou, et al.,Total Syntheses of Epothilones A and B via a Macrolactonization-Based Strategy, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 119:7974-7991 (1997)) of the epothilones, the synthetic route utilizing the asymmetric Noyori hydrogenation is unique.
- The alternate route toward segment C allows for the introduction of affinity labels and modifications at the C4 position as shown in Scheme 3. Applying the Noyori reduction to the known unsubstituted β-keto ester 11 provides a building block that can be used for the modifications at C4 of the epothilones. This Scheme accordingly allows for modification of the epothilones and gives a more general route to introduce a variety of substituents at this position.
-
-
- The invention makes it possible to synthesize several analogs of segment C with various chain elongations and/or substitutions at C2 and substitutions at the α-carbon relative to the keto group. It also allows for, as mentioned before, modifications at the carbon atom between the keto and the protected secondary hydroxy group with other groups. These chain extensions and substitutions are illustrated by a general Formula C, wherein n1 is as defined above, R5, R6 and R7 are as defined previously, and p′ is a protecting group, especially TBS or p-methoxybenzylidene acetal. The synthesis of these modified derivatives can be achieved utilizing chemistry exemplified in the synthesis of segment C in Schemes 2 and 3 respectively. These modified segments can then be utilized in the total synthesis of various analogs of epothilones.
- Synthesis of Segment B (C7-C11 of Formula A)
-
-
- Synthesis of Segment D (C1-C11 of Formula A) via Aldol Reaction
- The connection of the two segments C and B utilizes a highly diastereoselective aldol reaction, exemplified in Scheme 5 showing the connection of the two precursors B and C of a naturally occurring epothilone. When the C1-C6 ketone segment C is treated with a base, for example lithium diisopropylamide and the resultant enolate reacted with C7-C11 aldehyde segment B, a single desired diastereomer 14 was observed in 21% yield (unoptimized). This diastereselectivity is believed to arise from a favorable nonbonding interaction between the C10-C11 double bond and the carbonyl group of the aldehyde that gives rise to the desired diastereomer. After the connection is made, the resultant secondary alcohol is protected as the corresponding tert-butyldimethylsilyl ether.
-
- Proposed Synthesis of Segment A (C12-C20 of Formula A)
- The invention also provides a new route to the C12-C20 segment (segment A of the naturally occurring epothilone), and corresponding analogs thereof This involves new ways to set the C16-C17 trisubstituted double bond and the C12-C13 cis-double bond, which serves as precursor to the cis-epoxide at C12-C13 in the epothilones.
- Stereoselective Construction of C16-C17 of Trisubstituted Olefin and Introduction of Thiazole in Formula A
- The introduction of the thiazole moiety draws upon zirconium-catalyzed carboalumination chemistry (Wipf,Rapid Carboalumination of Alkynes in the Presence of Water, Agnew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl., 32:1068-1071 (1993)) wherein a C16-C17 alkyne bond in an appropriately functionalized C13-C17 propargylic alcohol 16 (Scheme 6) is subjected to methylalumination in the presence of zirconocene dichloride (Cp2ZrCl2). The resultant alkenylalane is coupled with 2-methyl4-bromothiazole 17 in the presence of zinc chloride under Pd(0) catalysis to access the trisubstituted E-ofelin 19 stereoselectively following the protection of the alcohol 18 as the OTBS-ether.
- The chiral propargylic alcohol 16 is obtained via the asymmetric reduction of the readily available alkynyl ketone 15. This is exemplified in Scheme 6, which illustrates the synthesis of the precursor for the naturally occurring epothilone. After the introduction of the thiazole moiety, the known primary alcohol 21 is revealed by deprotection of the PMB ether 19 and then oxidized to the previously reported (Mulzer, J., et al.Easy Access to the Epothilone Family-Synthesis of Epothilone B, Tetrahedron Lett., 39:8633-8636 (1998)), C13-C20 aldehyde 22.
-
-
- The zirconium-catalyzed methylalurmination strategy constitutes a novel route to construct the C16-C17 double bond and to introduce the thiazole ring. The novelty lies in the use of a chiral propargylic alcohol like 16 in the carbometalation reaction followed by the direct introduction of the thiazole unit.
- This methodology also allows for the introduction of various substituents and chain elongations on the C12-C20 segment A, Thus starting with analogs of the ketone 15 in Scheme 6, a variety of chain-elongated derivatives of segment A can be produced. Also carrying out an ethylalumnination (Et3Al) in place of methylalumination (AlMe3) (Scheme 6) allows the introduction of an ethyl group (Et) at C16. In the same context, other groups can also be introduced using the alternate stannylcupration-alkylation method by replacing iodomethane with other electrophiles in this reaction shown in Scheme 7. In addition, the thiazole ring can be replaced by other cyclic, aromatic and heteroaromatic rings by using other vinyl or aromaticlheteroaromatic halides in place of 2-methyl-4-bromothiazole 17 in the coupling reaction following either the carboalumination or stannylcupration strategy exemplified in Schemes 6 and 7 respectively.
- Stereoselective Construction of the C12-C13 cis-Olefinic Bond of Formula A
- The goals in the construction of the C12-C13 Z-olefinic, were to design a method providing maximum control over the olefin geometry and to furnish common intermediates in the synthesis of both epothilones A and B. The introduction of affinity labels at C-12 was also a consideration.
-
- An alternative route to the synthesis of alkynylstannane 23 (Scheme 9a) which would allow for incorporation of different substituents at the C16 carbon involves the asymmetric epoxidation of secondary alcohol 18a under the Sharpless conditions using (-)-diisopropyl tartrate, tert-butyl hydroperoxide and titanium isopropoxide to give epoxide 19a. The alcohol function on the epoxide can be oxidized with TPAP, NMO to give ketone 20a which can be reacted with Wittig reagents containing thiazole or other aromatic/heteroaromatic rings to give the corresponding trans-olefins. The terminal epoxide in this olefin can then be opened with trimethylsilyl acetylide to give secondary alcohol 22a. The trimethylsilyl group can then be substituted for a trialkyl stannyl group on treatment of22a with TBAF and bis-tributyltin oxide and the obtained product treated with TBSCl to give compound 23.
- The foregoing chemistries can be used for the synthesis of analog precursors as well. Such analogs are best illustrated by Formula E, wherein n3, R, R1 and R2 are as defined previously. Again all of these modified segments can then be utilized in the total synthesis of various analogs of epothilones.
- In summary, although the vinyl iodides E are previously reported (20,21) compounds, the method to synthesize it from the known aldehyde 22 is different from conditions reported in other total syntheses of epothilones. In addition, the above mentioned hydrozirconation reactions provide precise control over the geometry of the C12-C13 olefin bond. Also the use of other electrophiles in the transmetalation reaction with the intermediate species 24 allows for the synthesis of various analogs.
- Two other epothilone derivatives of special interest may be synthesized in accordance with the invention. In one such derivative the lactone functional group is replaced with an ether functionality and in the other a lactam functionality is used in lieu of the lactone functional group. Thus in the first derivative, and referring to Formula A, X is O, Y is H2, n1, n2, and n3 are 1, R is 2-methyl-thiazol4-yl, R1 is methyl, R2 is H or methyl, and R3, R4, R5 and R6 are methyl. In the second derivative, the only change is that X is NH and Y is O. These could be synthesized by the reaction sequences shown in Schemes 10 and 11. Thus selective deprotection at C1 by camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) (Scheme 10), formation of the mesylate derivative of the corresponding primary alcohol, selective deprotection of the C15 TBS ether and base-induced cyclic ether formation should provide compounds 26′. Again, the final stages in the synthesis would involve the deprotection of both the TBS groups from the macrolides (TFA, CH2Cl2) and the diastereoselective epoxidation of the C12-C13 double bond with epoxidizing agents such as dimethyldioxirane to give the ether derivatives 29 and 30.

- The following examples set forth various syntheses of the type described previously. It is to be understood, however, that these examples are provided by way of illustration and nothing therein should be taken as a limitation upon the overall scope of the invention.
- The synthesis of segment C was accomplished via two unique and complementary routes which are detailed in Schemes 2 and 3. One novel step in the synthesis of the C1 -C6 segment utilizes Noyori hydrogenation as detailed in Noyori, R. et al.,Asymmetric Hydrogenation of β-Keto Carboxylic Esters. A Practical, Purely ChemicalAccess to β-Hydroxy Esters in High Enantiomeric Excess, 109 J. Am. Chem. Soc., pp. 5856-5858(1987). The Noyori hydrogenation of β-keto ester 4 in Scheme 2 generates the requisite stereochemistry at C3. This Noyori hydrogenation provides the required enantiomer with high selectivities (92% enantiomeric excess). It is a versatile reaction and has found numerous applications in the synthesis of biologically active natural products and is also amenable to large scale synthesis.
- The following is a detail of the procedures that are outlined in Scheme 2. The required β-keto ester 4 is obtained in two steps from the readily available starting material 3-benzyloxypropionic acid (2) as described by Davis et al.,Nonracemic α-fluoro aldehydes: Asymmetric synthesis of4-deoxy-4-fluoro-d-arabinopyranose, J. Org. Chem., 62:7546-7547 (1997), the teachings of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Isopropylcyclohexylamine (7.3 mL, 44.6 mmol, 1.5 eq.) was dissolved in 40 mLTHF. The temperature was then lowered to −30° C. and n-butyllithium (16.1 mL, 38.6 mmol, 1.3 eq.) was added dropwise and stirred for 30 minutes. Next, the temperature was raised to 0° C. for 15 minutes and then cooled to −78° C. for 15 minutes. Methyl isobutyrate (3.75 mL 32.7 mmol, 1.1 eq,) was dissolved in 5 mL THE and added dropwise. The resulting mixture was stirred 30 minutes. 3-Benzyloxypropionyl chloride (5.0 g, 29.7 mmol, 1 eq) in 5 mL THF was then added dropwise. This reaction mixture was stirred for one hour until the starting material completely disappears by thin layer chromatography (TLC)(80:20 hexanes/EtOAc). The reaction mixture was then quenched with 20 mL 20% HCl and raised to room temperature. Next, the reaction mixture was extracted 3 times with ether and the combined organic phases were washed twice with sodium bicarbonate and once with brine. The combined aqueous layers were cross-extracted twice with ether. The organics were combined, dried with Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification was achieved via column chromatography utilizing a silica gel, hexane/EtOAc gradient which resulted in 5.1 g (65% yield) of β-keto ester 4.
- Asymmetric hydrogenation of β-keto ester 4 in methanol using RuBr2(S)-binap as catalyst at 65 psi gave the P-hydroxyester 5 in 85% yield. This was done by the following process. Acetone and MeOH were distilled and stored over molecular sieves. Each was degassed five times using the freeze-thaw method and placed under argon. Noyori's Ruthenium catalyst (91 mg, 0.284 mmol, 1 eq.), preferably bis-(2-methylallyl)cycloocta-1.5-diene ruthenium (II) and (S)-BINAP ((s)-(-)-1,1′-bi-2naphthol) (177 mg, 0.284 mmol, 1 eq.) were combined in a Schienk flask with 24 mL acetone and 2.0 mL HBr solution (0.25 mL 48% HBr, 5.1 mL acetone). The resulting mixture was stirred for 4 hours to allow the catalyst to form. The acetone was then removed under reduced pressure. Next, beta ketoester 4 (5.36 g, 20.3 mmol, 71.5 eq.) in 23 mL MeOH was degassed four times and then transferred to a Parr hydrogenation flask using MeOH. The catalyst was then rinsed into the Parr flask using MeOH. The hydrogenation reaction was conducted over 110 hours at 65 psi and 60° C. The contents were concentrated under reduced pressure and then taken up in ether. The reaction mixture was filtered twice to remove the catalyst and then concentrated. Final purification was obtained through column chromatography wherein the column contained silica gel and utilized a hexane/EtOAc gradient and yielded 4.57 g (85% yield).
- Deprotection of the benzyl ether and bis-silylation of diol 6 provided ester 7. To produce diol 6, β-hydroxyester 5(1.824 g, 6.86 mmol, 1 eq.) was dissolved in 20 mL THF and transferred to a Parr hydrogenation vessel under argon. Pd(OH)2 (450 mg, 0.25 eq.) was added and the flask purged for an additional 10 minutes with argon. The hydrogenation reaction was conducted at 50 psi for 24 hours. Finally, the reaction mixture was washed through a frit, an ultrafme strainer in a filtration technique preferably frit with 300 mL EtOAc and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 1.18 g (90% yield) of diol 6.
- In detail, ester 7 was made by taking diol 6 (450 mg, 2.84 mmol, 1 eq) dissolved in 3.15 mL DMF and adding imidazole (1.16 g, 17.04 mmol, 6 eq) which was stirred until dissolved. TBSCl (tert-Butyldimethylsilyl chloride) (1.28 g, 8.52 mmol, 3 eq) was added and the temperature was raised to 60° C. This reaction mixture was then stirred for 44 hours. Disappearance of the starting material was monitored by thin layer chromatography. The reaction was then quenched with H2O and NH4Cl. After quenching, the reaction mixture was extracted twice with ether. The ether layer was washed with NaHCO3 and brine, dried with Na2SO4, and concentrated. Purification via column chromatography (SiO2, 95:5 hexane/EtOAC) gave 0.89 g or a 78% yield.
- Primary alcohol 8 is the result of reducing ester 7 (1.89 g, 4.68 mmol, 1 eq) by dissolving it in 26 mLof CH2Cl2, cooling it to −78° C. and adding DIBAL-H (9.4 mL, 14 mmol, 1.5 M in hexanes) dropwise. After stirring at this temperature (−78° C.) for one hour, the reaction was quenched with 10 mL of MeOH. Next, the reaction mixture was warmed to 0° C. and 10 mL of a saturated aqueous solution of potassium sodium tartarate was added. After stirring this mixture for 16 hours, the aqueous layer was extracted four times with CH2Cl2. The combined organics were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to yield 1.59 g (92% yield) of the primary alcohol. Although this is a known alcohol, the synthetic route from this ester is novel.
- Primary alcohol 8 was oxidized to aldehyde 9 by taking primary alcohol 8 (1.45 g, 3.86 mmol, 1 eq) and dissolving it in 25 mL CH2Cl2. Molecular sieves (4 Å, powdered) were added to aid in the removal of water and this mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. 4-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMO) (0.77 g, 6.56 mmol, 1.7 eq) was then added and after stirring for 30 minutes, tetrapropylammonium perruthenate (TPAP) (0.081 g, 0.23 mmol, 0.06 eq) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 16 hours at room temperature and then concentrated. It was then passed through a pad of 4:1 silica gel:Celite mixture (35 g) to yield 1.2 g (83% yield) of the aldehyde.
- The aldehyde 9 is then reacted with EtMgBr using the procedure of Claus, E. et al.,Synthesis of the C1-C9 Segment of Epothilons, 38 Tetrahedron Lett., 1359-1362 (1997), the procedure of which is hereby incorporated by reference, to give the known secondary alcohol 10 in 65% yield.
- This secondary alcohol 10 is then oxidized to the C1-C6 segment C using the same procedure that was used to oxidize primary alcohol 8 to aldehyde 9. The alcohol 10 (50 mg, 0.124 mmol, 1 eq) was dissolved in 1 ML CH2Cl2 Molecular sieves (4 Å, powdered) were added and this mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. N-oxide NMO (25 g, 0.211 mmol, 1.7 eq) was then added and after stirring for 30 minutes, TPAP (3 mg, 0.0074 mmol, 0.06 eq) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 15 hours at room temperature and then concentrated. It was then purified by passing it through a column (20 g) of 5:1 silica gel:Celite mixture (5% EtOAC in hexane) to yield 46 mg (92%) of the ketone (segment C). Again although segment C is known the oxidation process used is different from conditions reported.
- In summary, although segment C is a key synthon in previously reported total syntheses of the epothilones, the synthetic route utilizing the asymetric Noyori hydrogenation is unique.
- Scheme 3 outlines an alternate synthesis of β-hydroxyester 5 using known compound 13. This alternate route toward segment C allows for the introduction of affinity labels and modifications at the C4 position as shown in Scheme 3. Applying the Noyori reduction to the known unsubstituted β-keto ester 11 provides a building block that can be used for the modifications at C4 of the epothilones. There has only been one report so far of C4 modification on the epothilones and this method provides a more general route of introducing a variety of substituents at this position. This will also enable a more thorough study of the structure activity relationships of numerous C4 substituted analogues.
- Thus, the Noyori hydrogenation of β-keto ester 11 yields the known p-hydroxy-ester 12, which was reported by Ali, et. al,Formal Syntheses of Cryptophycin 1 and Arenastatin A., 38 Tetrahedron Lett, 1703-1706 (1997), hereby incorporated by reference, in 97% yield (in 97% enantiomeric excess). The Frater alkylation of β-hydroxy ester 12 yields the previously reported α-methyl analogue 13 also previously reported by Ali et al. Formal Syntheses of Cryptophycin 1 and Arenastatin A., 38 Tetrahedron Lett, 1703-1706 (1997), hereby incorporated by reference, in 71% yield (98% diastereomeric excess). A second Frater alkylation of hydroxy ester 13 gave bis-dimethyl derivative 5 in 59% yield which was then converted to epothilone segment C by the chemistry shown in Scheme 2.
- In detail, isopropylcyclohexylamnine (0.71 mL, 4.32 mmol, 2.16 eq.) and 3.75 mL THF were stirred together at −25° C. n-BuLi (1.64 mL, 3.6 mmol, 1.8 eq.) was added dropwise over 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes and then lowered to −78° C. Compound 13 (504 mg, 2 mmol, 1 eq.) in 2.5 mL THF was added to the reaction mixture. The temperature was gradually raised to −10° C. over 4 hours and then returned to −78° C. MeI (0.17 mL, 2.66 mmol, 1.33 eq.) in HMPA (0.26 ML) was added dropwise. The reaction was stirred at −78 ° C. for one hour and then stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction was quenched with 4 mL 10% HCl . The mixture was then extracted four times with CH2Cl2, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated. Purification by column chromatography 160 g SiO2 (hexane/EtOAc gradient) gave 312 mg (a 59% yield) of β-hydroxyester 5.
- At this stage, other substituents such as benzyl, allyl and other alkyl groups can be introduced by using other electrophiles in the second Frater alkylation in place of iodomethane. The novel aspect about this alternate route to segment C is the ability to alter the substituents at the C4 position of the epothilones using the aforementioned Frater alkylation strategy. After synthesis of β-hydroxyester 5, segment C can be produced following the procedure outlined above in Scheme 2.
- It should be noted that this invention makes it possible to synthesize several analogs of this C1-C6 segment with various chain elongations at C2 and substitution at C6 positions on the epothilones. It also allows for, as mentioned before, modifications at the C4 position with other groups such as aryl, heterocyclic, alkyl and branched alkyl. These chain extensions and substitutions are illustrated by Formula C. The synthesis of these modified derivatives can be achieved utilizing chemistry exemplified in the synthesis of segment C in Schemes 2 and 3 respectively. These modified segments can then be utilized in the total synthesis of various analogs of epothilones.
- This example illustrates the synthesis of segment B. The synthesis of the C7-C11 segment B has been achieved using previously reported chemistry of Lin, et al.,Efficient Total Syntheses of Pumiliotoxins A and B. Applications of Iodide-Promoted Iminium Ion-Alkyne Cyclization in Alkaloid Construction 118 J. Am. Chem. Soc., 9062-9072 (1996), the teachings of which are hereby incorporated by reference, and is outlined in Scheme 4. This synthesis can also be used to introduce various chain-elongations on this segment and to introduce various other substituents at C-8. These modifications can be illustrated by Formula D and their synthesis can be achieved using chemistry exemplified in the synthesis of segment B in Scheme 4. Again, these modified segments can then be utilized in the total synthesis of various analogs of epothilones.
- This example, illustrated in Scheme 5, describes the synthesis of aldol adduct 14 followed by the aldol reaction of segment C, from examples 1 or 2, with segment B, from example 3. Aldol adduct 14 was then used to synthesize segment D.
- The connection of the two segments C and B utilizes a highly diastereoselective aldol reaction (Scheme 5). When the C1-C6 ketone segment C was treated with a base, namely lithium diisopropylamide and the resultant enolate reacted with C7-C11 aldehyde segment B a single diastereomer 14 was observed in 21% yield (unoptimized). The remarkable diastereselectivity is speculated to arise from a favorable nonbonding interaction between the C10-C11double bond and the carbonyl group of the aldehyde that gives rise to the desired diastereomer. This connection between these two particular segments using an aldol reaction is unprecedented. After the connection has been made, the resultant secondary alcohol will be protected as the corresponding tert-butyldimethylsilyl ether D.
- In detail, diisopropylamine (60 μL, 0.45 mmol, 1 eq) dissolved in 1 mL THF was cooled to −78° C. and n-BuLi (0.33 mL, 0.43 mmol, 0.95 eq) was added dropwise. After stirring at −78° C. for 15 minutes and at 0° C. for 30 minutes the reaction mixture was recooled to −78° C. The ketone (segment C)(0.184 g, 0.45 mmol, 1 eq) dissolved in 1 mL of THF was then added dropwise. This mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 15 minutes and then warmed to −40° C. over one hour. After recooling to −78° C., the aldehyde segment B (0.022 g, 0.23 mmol, 0.5 eq) dissolved in 0.5 mL Et2O was added dropwise over 15 minutes. After 35 minutes at −78° C., the reaction was quenched with 2 mL saturated aqueous ammonium chloride and warmed to room temperature. The aqueous layer was extracted five times with Et2O and the combined organics were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After concentration, preparative thin layer chromatography of the residue yielded 0.047 g (21% yield) of the desired diastereomer.
- Forming segment D utilizes TBS protection of adduct 14. Aldol adduct 14 (30 mg, 0.06 mmol, 1 eq.) was diluted with 1.5 mL CH2Cl2 and the temperature was lowered to −78° C. 2,6-lutidine (50 μL, 0.42 mmol, 7 eq.) was added dropwise followed by tert-butyldimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TBSOTf) (70 μL, 0.30 mmol, 5 eq.). The reaction was stirred for 15 minutes and then raised to 0° C. The reaction was complete after 3 hours and was quenched with 5 mL NH4Cl. The mixture was extracted three times with CH2Cl2 and the combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and then concentrated. Column chromatography (5% EtOAc in hexane) gave 34 mg (96% yield) of compound D.
- This example illustrates the synthesis of segment A (the C-12 - C-20 segment) and is outlined in Scheme 6. This involves new ways to set the C16-C17 trisubstituted double bond and the C12-C13 cis-double bond which serves as precursor to the cis-epoxide at C12-C13 in the epothilones. The methodology used to introduce the thiazole moiety draws upon zirconium-catalyzed carboalumination chemistry as described by. Wipf, P. and Lim, S.,Rapid Carboalumination of Alkynes in the Presence of Water, 32 Agnew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl., 1068-1071 (1993), the teachings of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Using this chemistry, a C16-C17 alkyne bond in an appropriately functionalized C13-C17 propargylic alcohol 16 is subjected to methylalumination in the presence of zirconocene dichloride (Cp2ZrCl2). The chiral propargylic alcohol 16 is obtained via the asymmetric reduction of the readily available alkynyl ketone 15. A number of methods have been developed during the past years for the enantioselective reduction of α, β-alkynyl ketones. The resultant alkenylalane is coupled with 2-methyl4-bromothiazole 17 in the presence of zinc chloride under Pd(0) catalysis as described by Negishi, E.-I.., et al., in Double Metal Catalysis in the Cross-Coupling Reaction and Its Application to Stereo- and Regioselective Synthesis of Trisubstituted Olefins, 100 J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2254-2256 (1978) and Negishi, E. -I., in Palladium- or Nickel- Catalyzed Cross Coupling. A New Selective Method for Carbon-Carbon Bond Formation, 15 Acc. Chem. Res., 340-348(1982), the teachings of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Scheme 8 illustrates the synthesis of 2-methyl-4-bromothiazole 17 which was synthesized by adding 9.0 mL ether and n-BuLi (1.8 mL, 2.96 mmol, 1.2 eq) and stirring at −78° C. for 30 minutes. The bromothiazole (0.60 g, 2.47 mmol, 1 eq.) in 3.5 mL of ether was added dropwise to the n-BuLi. After stirring for one hour, MeOTf (0.56 mL, 4.94 mmol, 2 eq.) was added dropwise and the reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 1.5 hours. The reaction was then quenched with NaHCO3 and extracted 5 times with ether. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated. 262 mg (60% yield) of the 2-methyl-4-bromothiazole 17 was obtained and carried on without further purification.
- This coupling of the alkenylalane to 2-methyl4-bromothiazole 17 permits access to the trisubstituted E-olefin 19 stereoselectively following the protection of the alcohol 18 as the OTBS-ether.
- After the introduction of the thiazole moiety, the known primary alcohol 21( (Mulzer et al.,Easy Access to the Epothilone Family—Synthesis of Epothilone B, Tetrahedron Lett., 39:8633-8636(1998) is revealed by deprotection of the PMB ether 19 and then oxidized to C13-C20 aldehyde 22, also previously reported by Muizer, et al., Easy Access to the Epothilone Family—Synthesis of Epothilone B, 39 Tetrahedron Lett, 8633-8636(1998), the teachings of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- The zirconium-catalyzed methylatunination strategy constitutes a novel route of constructing the C16-C17 double bond and introduction of the thiazole ring. The novelty lies in the unprecedented use of a chiral propargylic alcohol like 16 in the carbometalation reaction followed by the direct introduction of the thiazole unit.
- This methodology also allows for the introduction of various substituents and chain elongations on the C12-C20 segment A. Thus starting with analogs of the ketone 15 in Scheme 6, a variety of chain-elongated derivatives of segment A can be accessed. Also carrying out an ethylalumination (Et3Al) in place of methylalumination (AlMe3) will allow the introduction of an ethyl group (Et) at C16. In the same context, other groups such as alkyl and benzyl groups can also be introduced using the alternate stannylcupration-aikylation method by replacing iodomethane with other electrophiles in this reaction shown below in Example 6 and illustrated in Scheme 7. In addition the thiazole ring can be replaced by other cyclic, aromatic and heteroaromatic rings by using other vinyl or aromatic/heteroaromatic halides in place of 2-methyl4-bromothiazole 17 in the coupling reaction following either the carboalumination or stannylcupration strategy exemplified in Schemes 6 and 7 respectively.
- These aforementioned modifications are best illustrated by Formula E. Again all of these modified segments can then be utilized in the total synthesis of various analogs of epothilones.
- Scheme 7 illustrates an alternative way to introduce the trisubstituted olefin. This method utilizes the stannylcupration-methylation methodology described by Harris, L., et al., inSynthetic Approaches to Rapamycin 3. Synthesis of a C1-C21 Fragment, Synlett, 903-905(1996), the methodology of which is hereby incorporated by reference. Thus the O-TBS ether 16a from Scheme 7 of propargylic alcohol 16 on treatment with the stannylcuprate reagent 20 followed by methylation with iodomethane would provide the corresponding stannane which would then be coupled under Stille conditions with the bromothiazole 17 to yield the olefin 19.
- The synthesis of2-methyl4-bromothiazole 17 from the known 2,4-dibromothiazole is outlined in Scheme 8. This 2,4-dibromothiazole has been previously reported by Reynaud, P., Robba, M. and Moreau, R. C. inSur une Nouvelle Synthese du Cycle Thiazolique, 295 Bull. Soc. Chim. Fr., 1735-1738(1962), the teachings of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- This example illustrates the stereoselective construction of the C12-C13 cis-olefinic bond, the process of which is outlined in Scheme 9. The method shown provides maximum control over the olefin geometry as well as furnishes common intermediates in the synthesis of both epothilones A and B. This method is also amenable to introduction of affinity labels at C-12.
- The C12-C13 olefin is constructed in the form of Z-vinyl iodides A that can be obtained from vinylstannanes with defined configurations. The vinyl stannanes will be accessed by using the chemistry reported by Lipshutz et al., inPreparation of Z-Vinylstannanes via Hydrozirconation of Stannylacetylenes, 33 Tetrahedron Lett., 5861 -5864(1992) and Lipshutz, B. H. and Keil, R. in Hydrozirconation/Transmetalation of Acetylenic Stannanes. New 1,1-Dimetallo Reagents, 220 Inorganica Chimica Acta, 41-44(1994), the teachings of which are hereby incorporated by reference. The chemistry utilizes a 1,1-dimetallo species as a stereodefined 1,1-vinyl dianion synthon.
- The synthesis starts with a Corey-Fuchs reaction (PPh3, CBr4), as described by Corey, E. J. and Fuchs, P. L., A Synthetic Method for Formyl to Ethynyl Conversion, Tetrahedron Lett., 36:3769-3772(1972) of the known aldehyde 22, followed by base-induced elimination and quenching of the lithium acetylide with tributyltin chloride (Bu3SnCl) to yield alkynylstannane 23. The 1,1-dimetallo species 24 is generated by hydrozirconation of the alkynyl stannane 23 using chlorohydridozirconocene (Schwartz reagent). An aqueous quench provides Z-vinylstannane 25a or alternatively, selective transmetalation with a higher order cuprate, followed by addition of an electrophile (MeOTf in case of epothilone B) to the resultant species provides the α-substituted vinylstannane 25b with high stereoselectivity. The Z-vinylstannanes 25a and 25b can then be transformed to the corresponding vinyl iodides A utilizing iodine with retention of configuration.
- In summary, although the vinyl iodides A are previously reported compounds as evidenced by the teachings of Schinzer, D. et al., inTotal Synthesis of(-)-Epothilone A, 36 Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl, 523-524(1997) and Schinzer, D., Bauer, A., and Scheiber, J., Synthesis of Epothilones: Stereoselective Routes to Epothilone B, Synet, 861-864(1998), the teachings of both are hereby incorporated by reference, the method to synthesize it from the known aldehyde 22 is different from conditions reported in other total syntheses of epothilones. In addition, the above mentioned hydrozirconation reactions provides precise control over the geometry of the C12-C13 olefin bond and this methodology constitutes a unique way to construct this double bond. Also the use of other electrophiles in the transmetalation reaction with the intermediate species 24 allows for the synthesis of various analogs modified at C12 position of the epothilones as illustrated in Formula E.
- This example and the next (Example 10) illustrate C11 -C12 bond construction including coupling of the C1-C11 (segment D) and C12-C20 (segment A) subunits and completion of the total synthesis.
- Having defined all the requisite stereocenters and geometries, the stage is set for the union of the C1-C11 and the C12-C20 subunits. The C11 -C12 bond connection is achieved by the B-alkyl Suzuki reaction of the C1-C11 olefin D with the vinyl iodides A shown in Scheme 10 to afford the precursors 26 for the synthesis of epothilone A and B. This B-alkyl Suzuki reaction is described by Miyaura, N., and Suzuki, A. inPalladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions of Organoboron Compounds, 95 Chem. Rev. 2457-2483(1995), the teachings of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Thus, hydroboration of the olefin D with 9-BBN followed by coupling of the corresponding organoborane with the vinyl iodides A in presence of [PdCl2(dppf)2] would yield the olefin 26.
-
- As shown in Formulae C, D and E, various modified segments can be employed during the syntheses of the individual segments (C, B and A). All of these modified segments can then be connected using the bond connections (Aldol reaction and the B-alkyl Suzuki reaction) highlighted in this total synthesis. This would provide numerous homologs, analogs and affinity labels of the epothilones. All references noted herein are expressly incorporated by reference..
