Synthetic Utility of Enaminonitrile Moiety in Heterocyclic Synthesis: Synthesis of Some New Thienopyrimidines

The hitherto unknown 3-amino-5-bromo-4, 6-dimethylthieno [2, 3-b] pyridine-2-carbonitrile ( 4 ) was condensed with p-anisaldehyde affording the Schiff base ( 5 ). Acylation of the thienopyridine derivative ( 4 ) using freshly distilled acetic anhydride gave a mixture of mono and diacetyl derivatives ( 6 ) and ( 7 ). Condensation of ( 4 ) with triethylorthoformate yielded the ethoxymethyleneamino derivative ( 8 ), which was treated with hydrazine hydrate to give the hydrazide derivative ( 9 ), which in turn was converted to a triazolopyrimidine derivative ( 10 ) upon treatment with freshly distilled acetic anhydride. Thiation of ( 4 ) with carbon disulfide afforded the pyrimidine dithione derivative ( 11 ), which was alkylated with ethyl iodide to give the di-s-ethylpyrimidine derivative ( 12 ).On the other hand, treatment of ( 4 ) with formamide yielded the aminopyrimidine derivative ( 13 ), whereas its treatment by formic acid produced the thienopyrimidinone derivative (1 4 ). Chlorination of (1 4 ) with a mixture of phosphorus pentachloride and phosphorus oxychloride gave the chloropyrimidine derivative ( 15 ), which in turn afforded the hydrazide derivative ( 9 ) upon treatment with hydrazine hydrate. Hydrazinolysis of ethyl-3-amino-5-bromo-4,6-dimethylthieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate ( 17 ) gave the hydrazino derivative ( 18 ), which in turn was converted to 8-bromo-7,9-dimethyl-3-formylaminopyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one ( 19 ) and 8-bromo-3-diacetylamino-2,7,9-trimethylpyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one ( 20 ) upon treatment with formic acid and freshly distilled acetic anhydride, respectively.     

Synthesis of Sucrose Analogues Modified at Position 4

Abstract

Upon reaction with sodium nitrite, the corresponding triflate 2 of known 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-pivaloyl-β-d-fructofuranosyl 2,3,6-tri-O-pivaloyl-α-d-glucopyranoside (1), afforded the galacto-sucrose 3 in high yield. This compound was converted into 4-deoxy-4-fluorosucrose derivative 4 by treatment with DAST. The reaction of triflate 6, derived from 3, with lithium azide afforded 4-azido-4-deoxysucrose derivative 7 which was transformed into 4-amino-4-deoxysucrose 9. S_N2 Displacement of the triflate of compound 6 with thioacetate ion provided the expected 4-S-acetyl-4-thiosucrose derivative 10 in excellent yield. Deacetylation of 10 afforded a mixture of 4-thiosucrose 11 and 4-thiosucrose disulfide 12.     

Synthesis of Repaglinide Congeners

This report describes a synthesis of two potent impurities of repaglinide, benzyl repaglinide 1 and repaglinide isomer 2, from commercially available raw materials: 2-fluoro benzonitrile, (S)-3-methyl-1-[2-(piperidin-1-yl)phenyl]butylamine (5), and 3-ethoxy-[4-(ethoxycarbonyl)phenyl]acetic acid (7). These impurities are the crucial components in determining the quality of the drug substance, repaglinide, during its manufacturing.     

Synthesis of optically inactive cellulose via cationic ring-opening polymerization

Cellulose, which comprises D-glucose and L-glucose (D,L-cellulose), was synthesized from D-glucose (1D) and L-glucose (1L) via cationic ring-opening polymerization. Specifically, the ring-opening copolymerization of 3-O-benzyl-2,6-di-O-pivaloyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (2D) and 3-O-benzyl-2,6-di-O-pivaloyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (2L), synthesized from compounds 1D and 1L, respectively, in a 1:1 ratio, afforded 3-O-benzyl-2,6-di-O-β-D,L-glucopyranan (3DL) with a degree of polymerization (DPn) of 28.5 (Mw/Mn?=?1.90) in quantitative yield. The deprotection of compound 3DL and subsequent acetylation proceeded smoothly to afford acetylated compound 4DL with a DPn of 18.6 (Mw/Mn?=?2.08). The specific rotation of acetylated compound 4DL was?+?0.01°, suggesting that acetylated compound 4DL was optically inactive cellulose triacetate. Furthermore, before acetylation, compound 4DL was an optically inactive cellulose comprising an almost racemic mixture of D-glucose and L-glucose. Compound 4DL was an amorphous polymer. This is the first reported synthesis of optically inactive D,L-cellulose.

Synthesis of the Trisaccharide Repeating Unit of the K-Antigen from Klebsiella Type-63

Abstract

The benzyl substituted ethyl thioglycoside of L-fucose was found to be a more reactive donor compared to 2-O-benzyl substituted p-tolyl thioglycoside of D-galactose. Using the benzyl substituted ethyl thioglycoside of L-fucose (8), as a donor and the suitably substituted p-tolyl thioglycoside of D-galactose (7) as acceptor, the p-tolyl thioglycoside of the disaccharide, 9, was prepared. This disaccharide donor was allowed to react with a suitably protected galactopyranosyluronic acid acceptor, 16, to give the trisaccharide repeating unit of the K-antigen from Klebsiella type 63.

Synthesis of Rhamnogalacturonan I Fragments

ABSTRACT

The partially deprotected trisaccharide 17 has been synthesized as an analogue of the repeating unit of the backbone of rhamnogalacturonan I. The trisaccharide 17 was obtained after prior selective derivatization of HO-3 and HO-4 of a rhamnopyranose cyanoethylidene glycosyl donor, followed by coupling with a tritylated galactopyranosyluronic acceptor (11), selective removal of the acetyl group at the O-2' position of the formed disaccharide 12, and glycosylation of the HO-2' position with methyl (ethyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-4-O-p-methoxybenzyl-1-thio-β-D-galactopyranosid)uronate (14) providing methyl (methyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-4-O-p-methoxybenzyl-α-D-galactopyranosyluronate)-(1→2)-(4-O-benzoyl-3-O-benzyl-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-(1→4)-(allyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-β-D-galactopyranosid)uronate (15). Finally, palladium chloride catalyzed deallylation (16) and hydrogenolysis over Pd-C resulted in methyl (methyl α-D-galactopyranosyluronate)-(1→2)-(4-O-benzoyl-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-(1→4)-α/β D-galactopyranuronate (17).     

Synthesis of Glycosyl Acceptors by Regioselective Benzylations of a 2-Deoxy-2-phthalimido-D-glucoside.

The direct regioselective benzylation of p-methoxyphenyl 2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-D-glucopyranoside (1) with benzyl bromide under basic conditions gives 4,6-di-O-benzyl (2a), 4-O-benzyl (3a) and 6-O -benzyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-D-glucopyranoside 4a. When the benzylation was performed in the presence of di-n-butyltin oxide, p-methoxyphenyl 4,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-D-glucopyranoside 5 was obtained in high yield. This constitutes a new and efficient one-pot procedure for the synthesis of the glycosyl acceptor 5.

Synthesis of 3-aminothiophene-2-thioamides

Summary 4-Dimethylamino-5,6-dihydro-2H-thiopyran-2-thiones (1) were alkylated to N,N-dimethyl-6-methylthio-2H-thiopyran-4(3H)-iminiumiodides (2).

Ring closure with sulfur gave 3-aminothiophene-2-thioamides (5). The configurations of the pentadienthioamides (4) have been investigated by NOE experiments. The structures of the thiophene-2-thioamides (5) were established by means of two-dimensional NMR techniques.

Synthesis Of Isomaltose Analogues

ABSTRACT

Preparation of the α-glucosides 11, 12, 13 and 14 were accomplished through glycosylation of racemic trans-1-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexane using 2-thiopyridyl tetra-O-benzyl-glucoside as the glycosyl donor in acceptable overall yield for α-selectivity, but with poor regioselectivity. Glycosylation under thermodynamic control using tetrabenzyl glucopyranose acetate and trimethylsilyl triflate as the promotor gave similar results. The unprotected glucosides 12 and 13 were separated and characterized by NMR spectroscopy. Similarly methyl 4-deoxy-α-isomaltoside (5a) was prepared through halide catalyzed glycosylation of methyl 2,3-di-O-benzoyl-4-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranoside (15) in acceptable yield and the unprotected compound characterized by NMR spectroscopy. Compounds 5a, 12a, 13a and the mixture 11a and 14a were all tested as substrates for the enzyme glucoamylase from Aspergillus niger and proved to be very poor substrates for the enzymic hydrolysis.     

Synthesis and Biological Activity of a Series of Methylene-Expanded Oxetanocin Nucleoside Analogues

Summary.  A series of methylene-expanded oxetanocin nucleoside analogues, e.g. analogues of 2 and the known antiviral nucleosides AZT, FLT, and ddC (3) were prepared by a very direct route beginning with the readily available (S )-glycidol 4 and proceeding via the dihydrofuran-3-methanols 9a,b. Biological testing of these modified nucleosides indicates that they are non-cytotoxic compounds with generally weak antiviral activity. However, the guanosine analogue 2G showed pronounced activity vs. herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in cell culture and was HSV-1-encoded thymidine kinase dependent. This compound is therefore an interesting new lead structure for the development of new anti-HSV agents. Received September 3, 2001. Accepted September 17, 2001
