FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates generally to novel hydantoin derivatives that can inhibit matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a disintegrin and metalloproteases (ADAMs) and/or tumor necrosis factor alpha-converting enzyme (TACE) and in so doing prevent the release of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and methods of treatment using such compounds.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis (OA and RA, respectively) are destructive diseases of articular cartilage characterized by localized erosion of the cartilage surface. Findings have shown that articular cartilage from the femoral heads of patients with OA, for example, had a reduced incorporation of radiolabeled sulfate over controls, suggesting that there must be an enhanced rate of cartilage degradation in OA (Mankin et al. J. Bone Joint Surg. 52A (1970) 424-434). There are four classes of protein degradative enzymes in mammalian cells: serine, cysteine, aspartic and metalloproteases. The available evidence supports the belief that it is the metalloproteases that are responsible for the degradation of the extracellular matrix of articular cartilage in OA and RA. Increased activities of collagenases and stromelysin have been found in OA cartilage and the activity correlates with severity of the lesion (Mankin et al. Arthritis Rheum. 21, 1978, 761-766, Woessner et al. Arthritis Rheum. 26, 1983, 63-68 and Ibid. 27, 1984, 305-312). In addition, aggrecanase (a newly identified metalloprotease) has been identified that provides the specific cleavage product of proteoglycan, found in RA and OA patients (Lohmander L. S. et al. Arthritis Rheum. 36, 1993, 1214-22).
Metalloproteases (MPs) have been implicated as the key enzymes in the destruction of mammalian cartilage and bone. It can be expected that the pathogenesis of such diseases can be modified in a beneficial manner by the administration of MP inhibitors (see Wahl et al. Ann. Rep. Med. Chem. 25, 175-184, AP, San Diego, 1990).
MMPs are a family of over 20 different enzymes that are involved in a variety of biological processes important in the uncontrolled breakdown of connective tissue, including proteoglycan and collagen, leading to resorption of the extracellular matrix. This is a feature of many pathological conditions, such as RA and OA, corneal, epidermal or gastric ulceration; tumor metastasis or invasion; periodontal disease and bone disease. Normally these catabolic enzymes are tightly regulated at the level of their synthesis as well as at their level of extracellular activity through the action of specific inhibitors, such as alpha-2-macroglobulins and TIMPs (tissue inhibitor of MPs), which form inactive complexes with the MMP's.
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a cell-associated cytokine that is processed from a 26 kDa precursor form to a 17 kd active form. See Black R. A. “Tumor necrosis factor-alpha converting enzyme” Int J Biochem Cell Biol. 2002 January; 34(1):1-5 and Moss M L, White J M, Lambert M H, Andrews R C. “TACE and other ADAM proteases as targets for drug discovery” Drug Discov Today. 2001 Apr. 1; 6(8):417-426, each of which is incorporated by reference herein.
TNF-α has been shown to play a pivotal role in immune and inflammatory responses. Inappropriate or over-expression of TNF-α is a hallmark of a number of diseases, including RA, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis and sepsis. Inhibition of TNF-α production has been shown to be beneficial in many preclinical models of inflammatory disease, making inhibition of TNF-α production or signaling an appealing target for the development of novel anti-inflammatory drugs.
TNF-α is a primary mediator in humans and animals of inflammation, fever and acute phase responses, similar to those observed during acute infection and shock. Excess TNF-α has been shown to be lethal. Blocking the effects of TNF-α with specific antibodies can be beneficial in a variety of conditions, including autoimmune diseases such as RA (Feldman et al, Lancet, (1994) 344, 1105), non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (Lohmander L. S. et al., Arthritis Rheum. 36 (1993) 1214-22) and Crohn's disease (Macdonald T. et al., Clin. Exp. Immunol. 81 (1990) 301).
Compounds that inhibit the production of TNF-α are therefore of therapeutic importance for the treatment of inflammatory disorders. Recently it has been shown that metalloproteases, such as TACE, are capable of converting TNF-α from its inactive to active form (Gearing et al Nature, 1994, 370, 555). Since excessive TNF-α production has been noted in several disease conditions also characterized by MMP-mediated tissue degradation, compounds which inhibit both MMPs and TNF-α production may also have a particular advantage in diseases where both mechanisms are involved.
One approach to inhibiting the harmful effects of TNF-α is to inhibit the enzyme, TACE before it can process TNF-α to its soluble form. TACE is a member of the ADAM family of type I membrane proteins and mediates the ectodomain shedding of various membrane-anchored signaling and adhesion proteins. TACE has become increasingly important in the study of several diseases, including inflammatory disease, because of its role in cleaving TNF-α from its “stalk” sequence and thus releasing the soluble form of the TNF-α protein (Black R. A. Int J Biochem Cell Biol. 2002 34, 1-5).
There are numerous patents and publications which disclose hydroxamate, sulphonamide, hydantoin, carboxylate and/or lactam based MMP inhibitors.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,677,355 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,534,491 (B2), describe compounds that are hydroxamic acid derivatives and MMP inhibitors.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,495,565 discloses lactam derivatives that are potential inhibitors of MMPs and/or TNF-α.
PCT Publications WO2002/074750, WO2002/096426, WO20040067996, WO2004012663, WO200274750 and WO2004024721 disclose hydantoin derivatives that are potential inhibitors of MMPs.
PCT Publications WO2004024698 and WO2004024715 disclose sulphonamide derivatives that are potential inhibitors of MMPs.
PCT Publications WO2004056766, WO2003053940 and WO2003053941 also describe potential inhibitors of TACE and MMPs.
There is a need in the art for inhibitors of MMPs, ADAMs, TACE, and TNF-α, which can be useful as anti-inflammatory compounds and cartilage protecting therapeutics. The inhibition of TNF-α, TACE and or other MMPs can prevent the degradation of cartilage by these enzymes, thereby alleviating the pathological conditions of OA and RA as well as many other auto-immune diseases.

TACE activity is determined by a kinetic assay measuring the rate of increase in fluorescent intensity generated by TACE catalyzed cleavage of an internally quenched peptide substrate (SPDL-3). The purified catalytic domain of recombinant human TACE (rhTACEc, Residue 215 to 477 with two mutation (S266A and N452Q) and a 6×His tail) is used in the assay. It is purified from the baculovirus/Hi5 cells expression system using affinity chromatography. The substrate SPDL-3 is an internally quenched peptide (MCA-Pro-Leu-Ala-Gln-Ala-Val-Arg-Ser-Ser-Ser-Dpa-Arg-NH2), with its sequence derived from the pro-TNFα cleavage site. MCA is (7-Methoxycoumarin-4-yl)acetyl. Dpa is N-3-(2,4-Dinitrophenyl)-L-2,3-diaminopropionyl.
A 50 μl assay mixture contains 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.3, 5 mM CaCl2, 100 μM ZnCl2, 2% DMSO, 0.04% Methylcellulose, 30 μM SPDL-3, 70 pM rhTACEc and a test compound. RhTACEc is pre-incubated with the testing compound for 90 min. at 25° C. Reaction is started by addition of the substrate. The fluorescent intensity (excitation at 320 nm, emission at 405 nm) was measured every 45 seconds for 30 min. using a fluorospectrometer (GEMINI XS, Molecular Devices). Rate of enzymatic reaction is shown as Units per second. Effect of a test compound is shown as % of TACE activity in the absence of the compound.
Useful compounds for TACE inhibitory activity can exhibit Ki values of less than about 1000 nm, preferably about 0.01 nm to about 1000 nm, more preferably about 0.1 nm to about 100 nm, and most preferably less than about 15 nm. The TACE inhibitory activity (Ki values) of some representative compounds of the present invention are listed in the “EXAMPLES” section hereinbelow.
The pharmaceutical compositions containing the active ingredient may be in a form suitable for oral use, for example, as tablets, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, or syrups or elixirs. Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions may contain one or more agents selected from the group consisting of sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents in order to provide pharmaceutically elegant and palatable preparations. Tablets contain the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients that are suitable for the manufacture of tablets. These excipients may be for example, inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, for example, corn starch, or alginic acid; binding agents, for example starch, gelatin or acacia, and lubricating agents, for example magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. The tablets may be uncoated or they may be coated by known techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate may be employed. They may also be coated by the technique described in the U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,256,108; 4,166,452; and 4,265,874 to form osmotic therapeutic tablets for controlled release.
The term pharmaceutical composition is also intended to encompass both the bulk composition and individual dosage units comprised of more than one (e.g., two) pharmaceutically active agents such as, for example, a compound of the present invention and an additional agent selected from the lists of the additional agents described herein, along with any pharmaceutically inactive excipients. The bulk composition and each individual dosage unit can contain fixed amounts of the afore-said “more than one pharmaceutically active agents”. The bulk composition is material that has not yet been formed into individual dosage units. An illustrative dosage unit is an oral dosage unit such as tablets, pills and the like. Similarly, the herein-described method of treating a patient by administering a pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is also intended to encompass the administration of the afore-said bulk composition and individual dosage units.
Formulations for oral use may also be presented as hard gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredients is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or a soft gelatin capsules where in the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, for example peanut oil, liquid paraffin or olive oil.
Aqueous suspensions contain the active material in admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture of aqueous suspensions. Such excipients are suspending agents, for example, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia; dispersing or wetting agents may be a naturally-occurring phosphatide, for example, lecithin, or condensation products of an alkylene oxide with fatty acids, for example polyoxyethylene stearate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, for example, heptadecaethylene-oxycetanol, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and a hexitol such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example, polyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives, for example, ethyl or n-propyl, p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more coloring agents, one or more flavoring agents, and one or more sweetening agents, such as sucrose, saccharin or aspartame.
Oily suspensions may be formulated by suspending the active ingredient in a vegetable oil, for example, arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or coconut oil, or in mineral oil such as liquid paraffin. The oily suspensions may contain a thickening agent, for example, beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents such as those set forth above, and flavoring agents may be added to provide a palatable oral preparation. These compositions may be preserved by the addition of an anti-oxidant such as ascorbic acid.
Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water provide the active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting agent, suspending agent and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents are exemplified by those already mentioned above. Additional excipients, e.g., sweetening, flavoring and coloring agents, may also be present.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion. The oily phase may be a vegetable oil, e.g., olive oil or arachis oil, or a mineral oil, e.g., liquid paraffin or mixtures of these. Suitable emulsifying agents may be naturally-occurring phosphatides, e.g., soy beans, lecithin, and esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example, sorbitan monooleate, and condensation products of the said partial esters with ethylene oxide, e.g., polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsions may also contain sweetening and flavoring agents.
Syrups and elixirs may be formulated with sweetening agents, for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol or sucrose. Such formulations may also contain a demulcent, a preservative and flavoring and coloring agents.
The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous or oleagenous suspension. This suspension may be formulated according to the known art using those suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents which have been mentioned above. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally-acceptable diluent or solvent, e.g., as a solution in 1,3-butane diol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.
Compounds of the invention may also be administered in the form of suppositories for rectal administration of the drug. The compositions can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum to release the drug. Such materials are cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols.
For topical use, creams, ointments, jellies, solutions or suspensions, etc., containing the compounds of the invention are employed. (For purposes of this application, topical application shall include mouthwashes and gargles.)
The compounds for the present invention can be administered in the intranasal form via topical use of suitable intranasal vehicles, or via transdermal routes, using those forms of transdermal skin patches well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. To be administered in the form of a transdermal delivery system, the dosage administration will, of course, be continuous rather than intermittent throughout the dosage regimen. Compounds of the present invention may also be delivered as a suppository employing bases such as cocoa butter, glycerinated gelatin, hydrogenated vegetable oils, mixtures of polyethylene glycols of various molecular weights and fatty acid esters of polyethylene glycol.
The dosage regimen utilizing the compounds of the present invention is selected in accordance with a variety of factors including type, species, weight, sex and medical condition of the patient; the severity of the condition to be treated; the route of administration; the renal and hepatic function of the patient; and the particular compound thereof employed. A physician or veterinarian of ordinary skill can readily determine and prescribe the effective amount of the drug required to prevent, counter, arrest or reverse the progress of the condition. Optimal precision in achieving concentration of drug within the range that yields efficacy without toxicity requires a regimen based on the kinetics of the drug's availability to target sites. This involves a consideration of the distribution, equilibrium, and elimination of a drug. Preferably, doses of the compound of Formula I useful in the method of the present invention range from 0.01 to 1000 mg per day. More preferably, dosages range from 0.1 to 1000 mg/day. Most preferably, dosages range from 0.1 to 500 mg/day. For oral administration, the compositions are preferably provided in the form of tablets containing 0.01 to 1000 milligrams of the active ingredient, particularly 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 25.0, 50.0, 100 and 500 milligrams of the active ingredient for the symptomatic adjustment of the dosage to the patient to be treated. An effective amount of the drug is ordinarily supplied at a dosage level of from about 0.0002 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg of body weight per day. The range is more particularly from about 0.001 mg/kg to 1 mg/kg of body weight per day.
Advantageously, the active agent of the present invention may be administered in a single daily dose, or the total daily dosage may be administered in dividend doses of two, three or four time daily.
The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration.
It will be understood, however, that the specific dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, route or administration, rate of excretion, drug combination and the severity of the particular disease undergoing therapy.

General Procedure for Example 8

In step 1, Compound 8A was dissolved in a suitable solvent, such as DMF, and reacted with methyl iodide in the presence of cesium carbonate at room temperature for 2-16 hours. Water and EtOAc were added and the organic phase was washed by water 1-5 times to remove DMF. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried, concentrated, and dried to give the crude product (compound 8B) which was used without further purification.
In step 2, when alcohol was used, the reaction was operated in a similar manner as step 2 in example 6. When an aromatic or heterocyclic stannane was used, the reaction was operated in the following manner. The aromatic or heterocyclic stannane was added into a dry flask, followed by addition of the 4-Bromo-2-methyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (compound 8B), a base, such as Cs2CO3, K3PO4, and a palladium catalyst, such as Pd(PPh3)2Cl2. The flask was placed under vacuum for 1 to 10 minutes to remove oxygen and was refilled with N2. An appropriate solvent, such as dry CH3CN, was added and the solution was stirred at 60° C. to reflux temperature overnight to 3 days. The solid was removed by filtration and the solvent was removed. Compound 8C was isolated by chromatography.
In step 3, compound 8C was dissolved in a suitable inert solvent, such as benzene, CCl4 or α,α,α-Trifluorotoluene. NBS and benzoyl peroxide were added and the solution was stirred at 50° C. to 90° C. for 1 to 24 hours. The solid was filtered and the solvent was removed. The residue was dissolved in ether and washed by water. The ether was removed to afford the compound 8D which was used without further purification.
In step 4, the benzyl bromide (compound 8D) was mixed with hydantoin methyl amine 8E, K2CO3, and DMF. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours. Then the solid was removed by filtration. The product could be purified by reverse phase HPLC. Compounds 8F and 8G could be obtained in a variable ratio.
Step 5 is used when the compound 8F was isolated in step 4. Compound 8F was dissolved in an appropriate solvent, such as MeOH, and stirred at 50° C. to reflux temperature for 1 to 12 hours. The product could be obtained by removing the solvent by rotary evaporator or purifying via reverse phase chromatography.

Example 1001




Step 1

To a solution of compound 1001A (1.65 g, 3.95 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (35 mL) was added 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl chloride (SEMCl, 0.93 mL, 4.73 mmol) and DIPEA (0.9 mL, 5.14 mmol). The solution was stirred at 25° C. for overnight. DMF was removed under vacuum. The product 1001B was purified by SGC (Hexane/EtOAc, 2:1. yield: 1.6 g, 74%).
Step 2
Compound 1001B was resolved by Chiralcel OD column (Mobile phase: Hexane/2-propanol 3:1). The first peak was collected and concentrated to give compound 1001C.
Step 3
To a dry flask was added compound 1001C (1.5 g, 2.73 mmol) and 4-pyridyl boronic acid (670 mg, 5.50 mmol). The flask was vacuumed and refilled with nitrogen three times. Pd(dppf)Cl2 (220 mg, 0.30 mmol) was added and followed by addition of CH3CN (20 mL) and aq. K2CO3 (1 M, 15 mL). The solution was stirred at 80° C. (oil bath) for 16 hours. After cooling down, CH3CN (100 mL) was added and the solid was removed by filtration. The aqueous layer was separated and extracted with EtOAc (20 mL) once. The organic solution was combined and concentrated. The product was purified by SGC (CH2Cl2/MeOH/NH4OH: 20:1:0.1) to give compound 1001D.
Step 4
Compound 1001D was dissolved in a mixture of methanol and HCl (4M in dioxane) (2:1, 30 mL) and was stirred overnight in a sealed pressure flask at 90° C. (oil bath). After the solution was cooled, the solution was transferred into a 250 mL round bottom flask. It was concentrated and dried under vacuum. The crude mixture was dissolved in methanol (50 mL) and Et3N (0.5 mL) was added and stirred overnight at 25° C. The solvent was then removed and the product was purified by C18 reverse phase chromatography (CH3CN/water 5% to 90%, with addition of 0.1% HCO2H) to give compound 1001E (815 g, 71% from compound 1001C).

The reaction mixture was stirred at 100° C. (oil bath) for 1.5 hours. After cooling down, the mixture was diluted in EtOAc (50 mL) and filtered through a Celite pad. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residual material was purified by silica gel column chromatography (2% MeOH in CH2Cl2) to afford compound 1004B (300 mg, 91% yield).
Step 2
A solution of compound 1004B (60 mg, 0.10 mmol), 3-bromoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (30 mg, 0.15 mmol), and [PdCl2(dppf)]CH2Cl2 (8.2 mg, 0.01 mmol) in CH3CN (3 mL) was treated with potassium carbonate (0.6 mL, 0.6 mmol, 1M in H2O). The mixture was vacuumed and refilled with argon three times. The reaction mixture was stirred at 90° C. (oil bath) for 17 hours. After cooling, the mixture was diluted in EtOAc (20 mL) and filtered through a Celite pad. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residual material was purified by preparative TLC (10% MeOH in CH2Cl2) to afford compound 1004C (42 mg, 71% yield).

Compound 1009A (1.18 g, 3.36 mmol) and pyridine hydrochloride (2.33 g, 20.17 mmol) were added into a 20 mL microwave reactor tube and reacted at 200° C. for 1 hour. After cooling down, the solid was dissolved in DMF and purified by C18 chromatography (CH3CN/water 5% to 90%, with 0.1% HCO2H) to give compound 1009B (0.87 g, 77%).
Step 2
Compound 1009B (0.75 g, 2.22 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (12 mL). SEMCl (0.48 mL, 2.44 mmol) and DIPEA (0.775 mL, 4.44 mmol) were added and the solution was stirred at 25° C. for 4 hours. DMF was removed under vacuum and the product was purified by SGC (Hexane/EtOAc: 3:1 to 1:1) to give compound 1009C (0.81 g, 78%).
Step 3
Compound 1009C was resolved on Chiralcel OD column by using Hexane and 2-propanol as mobile phase. The first peak was collected and concentrated to give compound 1009D.
Step 4
Compound 1009D (100 mg, 0.214 mmol), 1-bromo-2-butyne (34 mg, 0.257 mmol), and Cs2CO3 (140 mg, 0.428 mmol) were stirred in DMF (2 mL) at 0° C. for 2 hours, then at 25° C. for overnight. Water (5 mL) was added and the aqueous solution was extracted with EtOAc (10 mL) three times. The organic phases were combined and concentrated. The product was purified by SGC (Hexane/EtOAc: 3:1) to give compound 1009E (81 mg).
Example 1010




Step 1

Compound 1010A (1.03 g, 1.88 mmol), (BOC)2O (493 mg, 2.26 mmol), and Cs2CO3 (741 mg, 2.26 mmol) were stirred overnight in CHCl3 (20 mL). Water was added. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were concentrated and purified by SGC (Hexane/EtOAc 5% to 90%) to give compound 1010B (1.01 g, 83%).
Step 2
To a dry flask was added compound 1010B (500 mg, 0.77 mmol) and 4-pyridyl boronic acid (190 mg, 1.55 mmol). The flask was vacuumed and refilled with nitrogen three times. Pd(dppf)Cl2 (28 mg, 0.04 mmol) was added and followed by addition of CH3CN (5 mL) and K2CO3 (1 M, 4 mL). The solution was stirred at 80° C. (oil bath) for 16 hours. After cooling down, CH3CN (100 mL) was added and the solid was removed by filtration. The aqueous layer was separated and extracted once with EtOAc (20 mL). The organic solution was combined and concentrated. The product was purified by SGC (CH2Cl2/MeOH/NH4OH: 20:1:0.1) to give compound 1010C.
Step 3
Compound 1010C obtained in step 2 was dissolved in MeOH (10 mL) and HCl (4M in dioxane, 3 mL) was added and stirred overnight at 25° C. MeOH was then removed and the product was dried under vacuum to give Compound 1010D (315 mg, 75% from compound 1010B).

Step 1

DMF (100 mL), cesium carbonate (41.13 g, 126 mmol), and 2-chloro-5-methylphenol (1021A) (15.0 g, 105 mmol) were added to a flask. Methyl iodide (17.92 g, 126 mmol) was added dropwise via addition funnel. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc, washed with water and brine, and dried with Na2SO4. The resulting material was filtered, and concentrated to dryness. The crude product was purified via flash sgc using 1:4 EtOAc:hexanes as the mobile phase to give 15.93 g of 1021B.
Step 2
A flask containing AlCl3 (2.55 g, 19.1 mmol), and LiCl (0.41 g, 9.6 mmol) was placed in a −30° C. cold bath. A solution of 1021B (1.0 g, 6.38 mmol) and acetyl chloride (0.75 g, 9.5 mmol) in 20 mL of CH2Cl2 was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h at −30° C., then allowed to warm to rt and stirred overnight at rt. The reaction mixture was poured into a mixture of ice and EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with water, saturated aq NaHCO3, and water, then dried with Na2SO4, and concentrated to dryness to give 1.18 g of Compound 1021C.
Step 3
Sodium hydroxide (58 g, 1.45 mol) was dissolved in water (260 mL) and the flask was cooled in an ice-water bath. Bromine (19 mL) was added dropwise to the flask with stirring. The reaction mixture was stirred for 0.5 h after the addition was complete. The resulting solution was added dropwise to an ice-water cooled flask containing Compound 1021C (18.5 g, 93.1 mmol). After the addition was complete, the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to rt and left stirring overnight. The reaction mixture was heated at 40° C. for 2 h. NaHSO3 (55 g) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h. The resulting material was diluted with 10% aq NaOH and extracted with EtOAc to remove starting material. The aqueous layer was adjusted to pH 1 and extracted with additional EtOAc. The organic layer was dried with Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to dryness to give 12.31 g of 1021D.
Step 4
DMF (10 mL), Compound 1021D (0.50 g, 2.49 mmol), and K2CO3 (0.41 g, 2.96 mmol) were added to a flask. Methyl iodide (0.42 g, 2.96 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated to dryness to give 0.52 g of 1021E.
