4.1. Introduction

Polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines, piperidines (often called "aminosugars" or "aza sugars")

and their synthetic analogues have attracted considerable interest due to their ability to

mimic sugars in which the ring oxygen has been substituted for a nitrogen atom.1 Their

often potent inhibitory activity towards glycosidases and glycosyltransferases of

carbohydrate processing. enzymes make them useful in a wide range of potential

therapeutic strategies including the treatment of viral infections/ cancer,3 diabetes,4

tuberculosis,5 lysosomal storage diseases,6 and parasitic protozoa.7

Hydroxylated piperidine structural framework is found in a wide variety of

natural and synthetic compounds of biomedical significance; for example cis-3-

hydroxypipecolic acid is an important constituent of a naturally occurring antibiotic

tertazomine8 whereas its acid reduced analogue is found in 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin

which has shown to be the strong inhibitors of a-galactosidase A and is currently in

undergoing preclinical trials as a potential therapy for Farby's disease, a severe

lysosomal storage disorder.9 Also (2R,3R}-3-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethylpiperidine is a

structural unit found in the antimalarial isofebrifugine.10 Amongst the pyrrolidine class,

cyclothialidine11 (a potent DNA-gyrase inhibitor}, slaframine/2 castanospermine13 and

detoxinine14 contains a cis-3-hydroxyproline structural motif whereas a literature search

revealed only one reported synthesis of its acid reduced congener, cis-3-hydroxy-2-

hydroxymethylpyrrolidine (the "azaDNA" analog} starting from serine.15 Included among

the polyhydroxylated pyrrolidine, 4-hydroxymethyl-pyrrolidin-3-ol is used as the

precursor for the BCX-4208, a clinical candidate evolved from the second generation of

PNB inhibitors (Fig. 1}.16-18

4.2. Basis of work and Retro-synthesis

,LHactones (2-oxetanones} have recently emerged as important synthetic targets owing

to their occurrence in a variety of natural products and their utility as versatile synthetic

intermediates in the synthesis of chiral products due to their masked aldol functionality

and their inherent reactivity. 19'20 In 1982, Wyn berg and co-workers successfully reported

the first catalytic, asymmetric [2+2] addition of ketene with highly electrophilic

aldehydes (eg. a~chlorinated} in the presence of cinchona alkaloids to yield ,8-lactones 3

in high yield (89%} and enantioselectivity (98% ee} (Scheme 1}.21

The proposed mechanism involves the formation of a zwitterionic ammonium

enolate intermediate, arising from the nucleophilic attack of the quinuclidine ring of the

catalyst on the ketene, followed by a stepwise addition to the aldehyde (Scheme 2). One

drawback associated with Wynberg and co-workers' original process was the

requirement of highly reactive aldehydes, presumably to compete with ketene

dimerization. As a result of this, only aldehydes containing electronwithdrawing groups

adjacent to the carbonyl were suitable coupling partners, and although the reaction

often returned good results, it was restricted in scope.22

Scheme 2. Mechanism of j3-lactone formation

Recently, Romo eta/. have reported a high enantioselective synthesis of a series

of bicyclic beta-lactones via intramolecular nucleophile-catalyzed aldol lactonization

(NCAL) of aldehyde acids, which provided the first strategy to beta-lactone synthesis

with unactivated aldehydes.23 The mechanism involves formation of the activated

carboxyl function (Scheme 3) from the carboxylic acid 4 (using the Mukaiyama salt, 5),

that can be subsequently intercepted with the nucleophilic catalyst, 0-acetylquinidine.

The acyl ammonium intermediate forms the Cl ammonium enolate, and an

175

Aza variant of intramolecular NCAL reaction Chapter4

intramolecular aldol reaction proceeds through a similar pathway to that outlined in

Scheme 2 to form bicyclic ,8-lactone (6) in high ee and moderate-to-good yields using 10

mol % of the catalyst. Both enantiomers are accessible using either the Ac-QD (0-acetyl

quinidine) or Ac-Q (0-acetyl quinine) catalysts. In a modification to their original

process, Rome and co-workers showed that an analogue of the Mukaiyama salt (TfO- or

BF4- counter ion instead of r) can be used to improve the output from the reaction. The

new salts are more soluble as well as prevent side reactions associated with the r

attacking the electrophilic pyridinium leading to a deactivated system.24

Literature reports thus clearly make obvious the utility of azasugars and this area

has seen resurgence in synthetic efforts directed towards convenient and efficient

synthetic routes to cis-aza sugars and their synthetic analogues. However many of these

strategies utilizing either chemical and enzymatic resolution 25, or by the use of amino

acids,26 or carbohydrates27 as chiral pool, have multi steps and/or selectivity deficient.

176

Aza variant of intramolecular NCAL reaction Chapter4

We, therefore, thought it prudent to develop new short catalytic synthetic strategy for

chiral synthesis of this class of compounds.

Derivatives of cinchona alkaloids have shown great promise as catalyst for a

broad range of asymmetric transformations thereby providing access to chiral products

of high enantiopurity.28 1nspired from Ramo's eta/. enantioselective synthesis of a series

bicyclic beta-lactones via intramolecular nucleophile-catalyzed aldol lactonization

(NCAL) of aldehyde acids, we envisaged a general synthetic strategy towards the chiral

synthesis of several cis-aza sugars and related molecules by utilizing formal

intramolecular NCAL reaction of particularly inexpensive achiral amino acid derivatives

via intermediary beta-lactone fused pyrrolidines and piperidines (intermediate A), as

depicted in the retrosynthetic scheme. (Fig. 2)

step procedure comprising of (i) N-w-alkenylation of glycine methyl ester (7c-d) (ii) one

pot Cbz protection, hydrolysis of ester group (Se-d) and (iii) subsequent ozonolysis

(Route B), to give aldehyde-acids 9c-d {Scheme 4).

4.3.1. ROUTE A:

N-Cbz amino acids 7a-b were prepared from ,8-alanine and GABA respectively by

treating them with Cbz-CI and NaOH, almost in quantitative yields according to the

method reported in literature.29 Allylation of 7a-b with allyl bromide, employing NaHas

a base in DMF, afforded the intermediates Sa-bin good yields {69-81%) which were fully

characterized by spectroscopic methods using NMR, IR and MS. Both products gave

their molecular ion peak at m/z corresponds to their molecular weights (Sa, m/z 264;

Sb, m/z 278) in their MS spectra. Compound 7a gave broad carbonyl absorption at 1689

cm-1 in IR spectrum corresponding to carboxylic acid whereas carbonyl absorption

appears at 1692 cm-1 in the IR spectrum of Sb. The terminal olefinic bond of Sa-b was

oxidised by bubbling ozone to their solution in CH2CI2 at -78 octo give the desired key

intermediate 9a-b possessing both the aldehyde and acid functionalities.

4.3.2. ROUTE 8:

Glycine methyl ester hydrochloride was prepared by treating glycine with thionyl

chloride in methanol and was confirmed by comparison of their melting point with that

of reported data.30 Treatment of methyl glycinate.HCI (1.2 equiv.) with K2C03 (2.3

equiv.) and 1-bromobutene {1.0 equiv.) in CH3CN gave monomer 7c in 73.2% yield.

Similarly 7d was obtained in 68% yield. 7c-d thus obtained showed the molecular ion

peaks at m/z corresponding to their molecular weights (7c, m/z 144; 7d, m/z 158) in

their MS spectra. The IR spectra of 7c and 7d showed the characteristic absorption at

1740 and 1739 cm-1 respectively due to ester carbonyl whereas the 1H-NMR spectra of

7c showed characteristic peaks at o 5.8 (m, 1H), o 5.09 (m, 2H), o 3.74 (s, 3H) and o 3.44

(s, 2H) due to CH2=CH, CH2=CH, COOCH3 and NHCH2C02CH3 respectively (Fig. 3).

Similar pattern was also observed in the 1H spectrum of compound 7d (Fig. 4). The

amino group of amino ester 7e-d was then protected by Cbz group using Cbz-CI and TEA

to give N-Cbz protected derivative which were taken up directly for the hydrolysis step.

Basic hydrolysis of methyl ester with LiOH.H20 afforded acids 7e-d in 90% and 79%

isolated yields respectively.

Acids Se-d thus obtained were fully characterized by spectroscopic methods

using NMR, IR and MS. Compound Se and Sd showed M+1 peak at m/z 264 and 278

respectively corresponding to their molecular weight. The IR spectrum of Se showed

characteristic absorptions at 1696 cm-1 due to acid functionality whereas it appeared at

1699 cm-1 for acid Sd. The terminal olefinic bond of Se-d was then oxidised to aldehydes

9e-d by ozonylsis. All the aldehyde acid 9a-d thus obtained were characterized by their

IR and MS spectra and were utilized immediately for NCAL reaction without any further

purification.

4.4. Racemic NCAL reactions

The scope of intramolecular aza NCAL reaction was studied using substrates 9a-d and

mukaiyama's reagent lOa under conditions as described by Romo et a/. The reactions

were performed by slow syringe pump addition of aldehyde-acids 9a-d over a period of

10 h to the mixture of Mukaiyama reagent lOa and TEA in acetonitrile at room

temperature (Scheme 5, condition A). The results are summarized in Table 1.

aldehyde-acid 9c gave only the decomposed 12 product presumably produced by the

(Scheme 6).

Since Mukaiyama reagents with non-nucleophilic counter ions such as triflate

and tetrafluoroborate reduces this undesired ring opening, the NCAL reactions with

pyridinium salts lOb and lOc were studied next. The pyridinium salt lOb was

synthesized in a sealed tube by N-methylation of 2-bromopyridine with the

corresponding methyl triflate in nearly quantitative yield as colorless crystals by

literature procedures (Scheme 7). A singlet of three protons corresponding to N-CH3

Use of N-Methyl-2-bromopyridinium triflate (lOb) and N-Ethyl-2-

bromopyridinium tetrafluoroborate (lOc) greatly improved efficiency of the reaction

and better yields of the cyclised products were obtained (Scheme 5, Table 1). These

results were in conformity with the observations of Romo et al.ret All the bicyclic fJ

lactone fused pyrrolidine and piperizines lla-b were characterized by their IR, HRMS,

4.5. Catalytic, asymmetric intramolecular NCAL reaction

Having optimized reaction conditions, we next studied the asymmetric NCAL reactions

of substrate 9a-c by employing chiral amine catalysts (Scheme 8). It was observed that

slow addition of aldehyde acid 9a-c to a mixture of 0-Acetyl quinidine,31 10b and hunig's

base in CH3CN gave the enantiomeric bicyclic lactones, (+)-lla, (+}-llb and (-)-11c with

an ee of 92, 97 and 91% respectively as determined by chiral HPLC (Table 2, entries 1, 3

and 5). Likewise the enantiomeric bicyclic lactones, (-)-lla, (-)-11b and (+)-llc were

synthesized using 0-acetyl quinine32 with an ee of 83, 88 and 95% respectively (Table 2,

entries 2, 4 and 6).

4.7.1. General Methods

All NCAL reactions were done using flame-dried glassware under nitrogen atmosphere.

Acetonitrile (CH3CN), Triethylamine (TEA), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) and

dichloromethane (CH2Cb) were distilled over calcium hydride. Reactions were

monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC) using 0.25 mm E. Merck pre-coated

(Merch 60 F254) silica gel plates and using ninhydrine or KMn04 as visualizing agent.

Purification was performed by flash chromatography using silica gel (230-400 mesh).

NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Advance-300 spectrometer. Chemical shifts are

reported as ppm (delta) relative to TMS as internal standard. Mass spectra were

recorded on LCQ Advantage MAX (ESI) and JOEL JMS-600H (EI/HRMS) mass

spectrometers. IR spectra were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer FT-IR RXI spectrometer.

Microanalytical data were obtained using Vario-EL-111 elemental analyzer. Optical

rotations were determined on an Autopol Ill polarimeter. Chiral HPLC analysis were

performed using Daicel Chiralpak lA column. 7a/9 7b/9 Methyl glycinate.HCI/0 O­

Acetylquinidine31 and O-Acetylquinine32 were prepared according to the literature

procedures.

N-allyi-N-benzyloxycarbonyl-f3-alanine (Sa)

To a cooled (0 oq suspended stirred solution of NaH (4.48 g, 112.1 mmol, 60% NaH in

mineral oil) in anhydrous DMF (25 ml) was added a solution of 7a (5.0 g, 22.4 mmol) in

DMF (25 ml) dropwise under nitrogen. Once the hydrogen evolution ceased, allyl

bromide (2.9 ml, 33.6 mmol) was added dropwise into the above heterogenous solution

and stirring was continued for additional 2 h at 0 oc. The reaction mixture was quenched

at same temperature by addition of 1N HCI to become acidic (pH 2); diluted with water

(250 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x 80 ml). The combined organic extracts

186

were washed with brine (2 x 40 ml), dried (Na2S04) and concentrated in vacuo. The

resulting crude oil was purified by flash chromatography over silica gel using ethyl

To a magnetically stirred solution of (+)-lla {0.17 g, 0.687 mmol) in CH2CI2 (5.3 ml) was

added dropwise a solution of DIBAI-H {1.0 M in toluene, 0.738 ml, 0.742 mmol) at 0 °C.

After 5 min, the solution was warmed to room temperature and stirred overnight. The

reaction mixture was then cooled to 0 oc, diluted with ethyl acetate (2.4 ml) and

quenched with acetone {1.5 ml) and Rochelle's salt (4.0 ml). The mixture was vigorously

stirred at 25 oc for 10 h. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted

with ethyl acetate (2 x 4 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (8

ml), dried over Na2S04, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by flash

chromatography on Si02 using MeOH-ethyl acetate (1:9) gave the dial (+)-13a as
