Abstract
Development of a practical synthesis of MK-7009, a 20-membered [corrected] macrocycle, is described. A variety of ring-closing strategies were evaluated, including ring-closing metathesis, intermolecular palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings, and macrolactamization. Ring closure via macrolactamization was found to give the highest yields under relatively high reaction concentrations. Optimization of the ring formation step and the synthesis of key intermediates en route to MK-7009 are reported

2,6-Dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone was added to suppress isomerization of the allyl alkene in the isoindoline unit in C and consequent competing formation of a 19-membered ring by-product. An important contributor to the success of the RCM reaction was the high purity of crystalline B

EXAMPLE 46 (5R,7S,10S)-10-tert-Butyl-N-((1R,2R)-1-{[(cyclopropylsulfonyl)amino]carbonyl}-2-ethylcyclopropyl)-15,15-dimethyl-3,9,12-trioxo-6,7,9,10,11,12,14,15,16,17,18,19-dodecahydro-1H,5H-2,23-ethano-5,8-methano-4,13,2,8,11-benzodioxatriazacyclohenicosine-7-carboxamide (III-231)
Step 1: 8-Hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline hydrobromide
A mixture of 8-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline hydrochloride [Tetrahedron Letters, 1991, 32(17), 1965.] (3.0 g 15.0 mmol) and 45 mL of 48% aqueous HBr was heated for 18 h at 120° C. The resulting brown suspension was filtered and dried to provide 8-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline hydrobromide (2.8 g, 81% yield). LRMS (ESI) m/z 150.1 [(M+H)+; calcd for C9H1NO: 150.2].
Step 2: 1-tert-Butyl 2-methyl (2S,4R)-4-{[(8-hydroxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl)carbonyl]oxy}pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate:
Carbonyldiimidazole (0.176 g, 1.086 mmol) was added to a stirred, room temperature solution of DMF (5 mL) and N-Boc-trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline methyl ester (0.21 g, 0.87 mmol) and the mixture was stirred 45 min. 8-Hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (0.20 g, 0.87 mmol) and Et3N (0.18 g, 1.74 mmol) were added and the resulting solution was heated at 50° C. for 2 h. The reaction mixture was poured into aqueous saturated NH4Cl and extracted with EtOAc, dried over Na2SO4and concentrated to an oil. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (gradient elution, 10 to 80% EtOAc in hexanes) to give 1-tert-butyl 2-methyl (2S,4R)-4-{[(8-hydroxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl)carbonyl]oxy}pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate (0.25 g, 0.60 mmol, 69% yield) as a colorless foam after evaporation of solvent. LRMS (ESI) m/z 321.3 [((M-Boc)+H)+; calcd for C16H21N2O5: 321.4].
Step 3: 1-tert-Butyl 2-methyl (2S,4R)-4-({[8-{[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]oxy}-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl]carbonyl}oxy)pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate
Trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (1.76 g, 6.24 mmol) was added to a stirred, 0° C. mixture of 1-tert-butyl 2-methyl (2S,4R)-4-{[(8-hydroxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl)carbonyl]oxy}pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate (1.81 g, 4.30 mmol) and Et3N (1.31 g, 12.90 mmol) in DCM (20 mL) and stirred for 18 h. The resulting mixture was poured into saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and extracted into dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with 10% citric acid solution, dried over Na2SO4and concentrated to red oil. The oil was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (gradient elution, 10 to 70% EtOAc in hexanes) to give a yellow oil, 1-tert-butyl 2-methyl (2S,4R)-4-({[8-{[(trifluoro methyl)sulfonyl]oxy}-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl]carbonyl}oxy)pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate (1.65 g, 69.4% yield). LRMS (ESI) m/z 453.2 [((M-Boc)+H)+; calcd for C17H20F3N2O7S: 453.4].
Step 4: 1-tert-Butyl 2-methyl (2S,4R)-4-{[(8-vinyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl)carbonyl]oxy}pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate
A solution of 1-tert-butyl 2-methyl (2S,4R)-4-({[8-{[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]oxy}-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl]carbonyl}oxy)pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate (1.74 g, 3.15 mmol), tri-n-butyl vinyl tin (1.10 g, 1.46 mmol) and lithium chloride (0.40 g, 9.45 mmol) in 25 mL DMF was purged with nitrogen for 10 min. Then bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (II) chloride (0.22 g, 0.32 mmol) was added, and the mixture stirred at 25° C. under nitrogen for 18 h. The mixture was partitioned between EtOAc and saturated NaHCO3, the organic layer separated and washed with water then brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to an oil. The oil was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (gradient elution, 10 to 65% EtOAc in hexanes) to give a colorless oil, 1-tert-butyl 2-methyl (2S,4R)-4-{[(8-vinyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl)carbonyl]oxy}pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate (1.00 g, 74% yield). LRMS (ESI) m/z 453.2 [(M+Na)+; calcd for C23H30N2O6Na: 453.5].
Step 5: (5R,7S,10S)-10-tert-Butyl-N-((1R,2R)-1-{[(cyclopropylsulfonyl)amino]carbonyl}-2-ethylcyclopropyl)-15,15-dimethyl-3,9,12-trioxo-6,7,9,10,11,12,14,15,16,17,18,19-dodecahydro-1H,5H-2,23-ethano-5.8-methano-4,13,2,8,11-benzodioxatriazacyclohenicosine-7-carboxamide (III-231)
