Definitions
- alkenyl and “alkenyl group” refer to a branched or unbranched hydrocarbon chain containing at least one double bond.
- Haloalkyl groups can be substituted or unsubstituted.
- alcohol protecting groups include benzyl, trityl, silyl ethers, and the like.
- leaving group refers to a molecule or a molecular fragment (e.g., an anion) that is displaced in a chemical reaction as stable species taking with it the bonding electrons.
- leaving groups include arylsulfonyloxy group or an alkylsulfonyloxy group, such as a mesylate or a tosylate group.
- Common anionic leaving groups also include halides such as Cl-, Br-, and I-.
- R’ and R’’ are independently selected from methyl, ethyl or propyl; preferably methyl or ethyl.
- P 2 is selected from tert-octyl and tert-butyl, and the deprotection of the compound of formula II is carried out by treatment with acid.
- the acid is a strong acid.
- the acid is selected from trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), methanesulfonic acid (MsOH), trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH).
- TFA trifluoroacetic acid
- MsOH methanesulfonic acid
- TfOH trifluoromethanesulfonic acid
- the acid is TFA.
- an excess of TFA is used to deprotect formula II to give a compound of formula Ia, suitably in DCM at ambient temperature.
- P 3 is a nosyl group and the deprotection of formula Ib to give a compound according to formula Ic is performed using a thiolate nucleophile.
- Suitable thiolate nucleophiles are, for example, thiophenol, thioglycolic acid and C 1 - 20 alkyl-SH. Removal of the nosyl may be carried out in the presence of a base, such a carbonate or hydroxide base. Non-nucleophilic bases can also be used such as DBU.
- P 3 is nosyl and the deprotection of formula Ib to give a compound according to formula Ic is performed using C 12 alkyl-SH and DBU.
- the base is sodium hydride and the halogenating agent is a fluorinating agent, for instance NFSI.
- the process for preparation of formula I further comprises preparing a compound of formula V: (V), comprising protecting a compound of formula VI: (VI), with a nitrogen protecting group P 3 ; wherein R, P 2 and P 3 are as defined any of the above-mentioned aspects and embodiments.
- P 3 is -SO 2 R 6 and the compound VI is protected by reacting with a R 6 SO 2 X 5 , wherein X 5 is a leaving group, suitably halo, for instance Cl, Br or I.

Description
SULFUR COMPOUNDS AND PROCESSES AND INTERMEDIATES USEFUL IN THE PREPARATION THEREOF INTRODUCTION [001] The present application provides novel sulfondiimidamide compounds, mild and versatile processes for the preparation of sulfondiimidamide compounds and intermediates useful in said processes. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [002] Sulfur(VI) compounds have played a substantial role in the development of medicines. Sulfones and sulfonamides in particular are key components of numerous drugs as well as agrochemicals1. Replacing one of the oxygen atoms in these molecules with a nitrogen atom gives sulfoximines2 and sulfonimidamides3 respectively. [003] Sulfoximines and sulfonimidamides have recently gained traction in medicinal chemistry,first as isosteric replacements for their oxygenated analogues4, and more recently due to increasing recognition of their potent mix of physicochemical properties. Being inherently chiral at sulfur, polar, and three-dimensional, with good aqueous solubility and high chemical and metabolic stability5, sulfoximines and sulfonimidamides represent an invaluable addition to the medicinal chemist’s toolbox6. [004] Considerable advances have been made in recent years in the synthesis of sulfoximines and sulfonimidamides by the Bolm and Bull groups, as well as others, which have simplified the imination of thioethers7, sulfoxides8, and sulfenamides9. [005] However, to date there have been no reports of a mild and versatile route to obtain sulfondiimidamides which are obtained when the oxygen atom in a sulfonimidamides is replaced with a nitrogen atom. [006] It is envisaged that a mild and verstaile route to sulfondiimidamide compounds would provide access to sulfondiimidamide compound libraries useful for screening against biological targets and/or provide a means of accessing compounds potentially bio-isosteric to sulfonimidamides with known biological activity which may enable further optimisation of potency, physiochemical and pharmacokinetic properties. [007] There is a need for further diversity in a chemist’s toolbox. The present invention provides novel sulfondiimidamide compounds, mild and versatile processes for the preparation of sulfondiimidamide compounds and intermediates useful in said processes.

[0045] As used herein by themselves or in conjunction with another term or terms, “heterocycloalkylalkyl” and “heterocycloalkylalkyl group” refer to an alkyl group in which a hydrogen atom is replaced by a heterocycloalkyl group, wherein alkyl group and heterocycloalkyl group are as previously defined, such as, for example, pyrrolidinylmethyl (C4H8NCH2–). Heteroycloalkylalkyl groups can be substituted or unsubstituted. Where carbon numbers are provided, e.g. heterocycloalkyl(Cn-m)alkyl, the range refers to the alkyl group. Suitably, the constituent alkyl group has 1-6 carbons, suitable 1-3 carbons. [0046] As used herein by themselves or in conjunction with another term or terms, “stable” and “chemically stable” refer to a compound that is sufficiently robust to be isolated from a reaction mixture with a useful degree of purity. The present application is directed solely to the preparation of stable compounds. When lists of alternative substituents include members which, owing to valency requirements, chemical stability, or other reasons, cannot be used to substitute a particular group, the list is intended to be read in context to include those members of the list that are suitable for substituting the particular group. For example, when considering the degree of optional substitution of a particular moiety, it should be understood that the
number of substituents does not exceed the valency appropriate for that moiety. For example, if R1 is a methyl group (-CH3), it can be optionally substituted by 1 to 3 groups. [0047] As used herein by itself or in conjunction with another term or terms, “substituted” indicates that a hydrogen atom on a molecule has been replaced with a different atom or group of atoms and the atom or group of atoms replacing the hydrogen atom is a “substituent.” It should be understood that the terms “substituent”, “substituents”, “moiety”, “moieties”, “group”, or “groups” refer to substituent(s). [0048] As used herein “protecting group” refers to a functional group that facilitates chemoselectivity in a subsequent chemical reaction. Protecting groups are described, for example, in Greene & Wuts, eds., "Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis", 2nd ed. New York; John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1991. For a particular compound and/or a particular chemical reaction, a person skilled in the art knows how to select and implement appropriate protecting groups and synthetic methods. Examples of nitrogen protecting groups include acyl and alkoxycarbonyl groups, such as t-butoxycarbonyl (BOC), and silyl groups, such as [2- (trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl (SEM). Examples of carboxyl protecting groups include (1 - 6C)alkyl groups, such as methyl, ethyl and t-butyl. Examples of alcohol protecting groups include benzyl, trityl, silyl ethers, and the like. [0049] As used herein “leaving group” refers to a molecule or a molecular fragment (e.g., an anion) that is displaced in a chemical reaction as stable species taking with it the bonding electrons. Examples of leaving groups include arylsulfonyloxy group or an alkylsulfonyloxy group, such as a mesylate or a tosylate group. Common anionic leaving groups also include halides such as Cl-, Br-, and I-. Compounds of Formula I [0050] In one aspect the present invention relates to a compound of formula I, or a salt thereof:

Salts [00322] The compounds (including final products and intermediates) described herein may be isolated and used per se or may be isolated in the form of a salt, suitably pharmaceutically acceptable salts. It should be understood that the terms “salt(s)” and “salt form(s)” used by themselves or in conjunction with another term or terms encompasses all inorganic and organic salts, including industrially acceptable salts, as defined herein, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, as defined herein, unless otherwise specified. As used herein, industrially acceptable salts are salts that are generally suitable for manufacturing and/or processing (including purification) as well as for shipping and storage, but may not be salts that are typically administered for clinical or therapeutic use. Industrially acceptable salts may be prepared on a laboratory scale, i.e. multi-gram or smaller, or on a larger scale, i.e. up to and including a kilogram or more. [00323] Pharmaceutically acceptable salts, as used herein, are salts that are generally chemically and/or physically compatible with the other ingredients comprising a formulation, and/or are generally physiologically compatible with the recipient thereof. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts may be prepared on a laboratory scale, i.e. multi-gram or smaller, or on a larger scale, i.e. up to and including a kilogram or more. It should be understood that pharmaceutically acceptable salts are not limited to salts that are typically administered or approved by the FDA or equivalent foreign regulatory body for clinical or therapeutic use in humans. A practitioner of ordinary skill will readily appreciate that some salts are both industrially acceptable as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts. It should be understood that all such salts, including mixed salt forms, are within the scope of the application.
[00324] In one embodiment, the compounds of Formula I, Ia, Ib or Ic are isolated as pharmaceutically acceptable salts. [00325] A suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of the invention is, for example, an acid-addition salt of a compound of the invention which is sufficiently basic, for example, an acid-addition salt with, for example, an inorganic or organic acid, for example hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, phosphoric, trifluoroacetic, formic, citric or maleic acid. In addition a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of the invention which is sufficiently acidic is an alkali metal salt, for example a sodium or potassium salt, an alkaline earth metal salt, for example a calcium or magnesium salt, an ammonium salt or a salt with an organic base which affords a physiologically-acceptable cation, for example a salt with methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, piperidine, morpholine or tris-(2-hydroxyethyl)amine. [00326] In general, salts of the present application can be prepared in situ during the isolation and/or purification of a compound (including intermediates), or by separately reacting the compound (or intermediate) with a suitable organic or inorganic acid or base (as appropriate) and isolating the salt thus formed. The degree of ionisation in the salt may vary from completely ionised to almost non-ionised. In practice, the various salts may be precipitated (with or without the addition of one or more co-solvents and/or anti-solvents) and collected by filtration or the salts may be recovered by evaporation of solvent(s). Salts of the present application may also be formed via a “salt switch” or ion exchange/double displacement reaction, i.e. reaction in which one ion is replaced (wholly or in part) with another ion having the same charge. One skilled in the art will appreciate that the salts may be prepared and/or isolated using a single method or a combination of methods. [00327] Representative salts include, but are not limited to, acetate, aspartate, benzoate, besylate, bicarbonate/carbonate, bisulphate/sulphate, borate, camsylate, citrate, edisylate, esylate, formate, fumarate, gluceptate, gluconate, glucuronate, hexafluorophosphate, hibenzate, hydrochloride/chloride, hydrobromide/bromide, hydroiodide/iodide, isethionate, lactate, malate, maleate, malonate, mesylate, methylsulphate, naphthylate, 2-napsylate, nicotinate, nitrate, orotate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, phosphate/hydrogen phosphate/dihydrogen phosphate, saccharate, stearate, succinate, tartrate, tosylate, trifluoroacetate and the like. Other examples of representative salts include alkali or alkaline earth metal cations such as sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like, as well as non-toxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium and amine cations including, but not limited to, ammonium, tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, lysine, arginine, benzathine, choline, tromethamine, diolamine, glycine, meglumine, olamine and the like.
Tautomers [00328] Compounds of the Formula I and the various intermediates useful in the preparation thereof may exist in a number of different tautomeric forms and references to compounds of the Formula I and the various intermediates useful in the preparation thereof include all such forms. For the avoidance of doubt, where a compound can exist in one of several tautomeric forms, and only one is specifically described or shown, all others are nevertheless embraced by the general formulae. Examples of tautomeric forms include keto-, enol-, and enolate- forms, as in, for example, the following tautomeric pairs: keto/enol (illustrated below), pyrimidone/hydroxypyrimidine, imine/enamine, amide/imino alcohol, amidine/amidine, nitroso/oxime, thioketone/enethiol, and nitro/aci-nitro.
keto enol enolate [00329] For example, in respect of sulfinamidine compounds of the present invention depiction of one tautomeric form should be considered to embrace the other tautomeric forms unless specifically stated to the contrary:
Isomers [00330] Compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “isomers”. Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “stereoisomers”. Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed “diastereomers” and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed “enantiomers”. When a compound has an asymmetric centre, for example, it is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric centre and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (-)-isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a
mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a “racemic mixture”. [00331] Certain compounds of Formula I and the various intermediates useful in the preparation thereof, particularly Formulae Ia, Ib, Ic, III and III, may have one or more asymmetric centres and therefore can exist in a number of stereoisomeric configurations. Consequently, such compounds can be synthesized and/or isolated as mixtures of enantiomers and/or as individual (pure) enantiomers, and, in the case of two or more asymmetric centers, single diastereomers and/or mixtures of diastereomers. It should be understood that the present application includes all such enantiomers and diastereomers and mixtures thereof in all ratios, unless expressly stated otherwise. [00332] A person skilled in the art will appreciate that certain compounds, or salts thereof of the present invention, may contain at least one chiral centre, for instance at sulphur. The compounds or salts thereof, may therefore exist in at least two enantiomeric forms. The present invention encompasses racemic mixtures of the compounds, or salts thereof of the present invention as well as enantiomerically enriched and substantially enantiomerically pure isomers. As used herein, a “substantially enantiomerically pure” isomer of a compound comprises less than 5% of other enantiomers of the same compound, more typically less than 2%, and most typically less than 0.5% by weight. Isotopes [00333] The compounds of the present invention are described herein using structural formulas that do not specifically recite the mass numbers or the isotope ratios of the constituent atoms. As such it is intended that the present application includes compounds in which the constituent atoms are present in any ratio of isotope forms. For example, carbon atoms may be present in any ratio of 12C, 13C, and 14C; hydrogen atoms may be present in any ratio of 1H, 2H, and 3H; etc. Preferably, the constituent atoms in the compounds of the present invention are present in their naturally occurring ratios of isotope forms.

[00363] General Procedure B - Sulfondiimidoyl Fluoride Synthesis
Sulfinamidine (1.00 equiv.) and NaH (60 % dispersion in mineral oil, 1.10 equiv.) were added to an oven-dried round-bottom flask at 0 °C and the flask was purged with nitrogen gas. Anhydrous THF (0.5 M) was added, and the reaction was stirred at 0 °C for 5 min before being warmed to room temperature and stirred for a further 25 min. NFSI (1.50 equiv.) was then added under a positive pressure of nitrogen and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 30 min before being quenched with sat. aq. NaCl solution. Ethyl acetate was added, and the organic layers was separated. The aqueous layers was further extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a yellow solid. Diethyl ether was added to the crude yellow solid and the resulting suspension was shaken well before being filtered. The white filter cake was washed with further diethyl ether, and the combined filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a crude product containing a mixture of N-fluorinated product and S- fluorinated product. The crude product was allowed to stand at room temperature (open to air) for 1-8 days until all the N-fluorinated product had isomerized to the desired S-fluorinated product (as determined by TLC and NMR). The crude product was then purified by flash column chromatography to afford the sulfondiimidoyl fluoride. The time taken for the N-fluorinated compound to isomerize into the S-fluorinated compound varies from substrate to substrate.19F NMR can be used to monitor this isomerization reaction and determine when it is complete. The chemical shift of the fluorine atom of N-fluorinated compound in the 19F NMR is usually around 80 ppm, and the chemical shift of the fluorine
atom of S-fluorinated compound in the 19F NMR is usually around -70 ppm. [00364] 4-Fluoro-N-((4-nitrophenyl)sulfonyl)-N-(2,4,4-trimethylpentan-2- yl)benzenesulfondiimidoyl fluoride (P17)

An oven-dried round-bottom flask containing the imidazole derivative E23 (1.00 equiv.) was sealed and subjected to three N2 evacuation/refill cycles before anhydrous CH2Cl2 (0.3 M) was added. The solution was cooled to 0 °C before MeOTf (1.05 equiv.) was added. The reaction was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 30 min. Then the amine (2.10 equiv.) was added and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for another 30 min before being quenched with sat. aq. NaCl solution. CH2Cl2 was added and the organic layer was separated. The aqueous layers were extracted with CH2Cl2 × 2. The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by flash column to afford the sulfondiimidamide product.
