EXAMPLE 1

Racemic 5-(4-{2-[3-(Fluoromethyl)azetidin-l-yl]ethoxy}phenyl)-8-(trifluoromethyl)-5H- [ 1 ]benzopyrano[4,3 -c]quinolin-2-ol

Cool a solution of (4-{2-[3-(fluoromethyl)azetidin-l-yl]ethoxy}phenyl){3-[2-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-7-hydroxyquinolin-4-yl}methanone (5.27 g, 9.71 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (100 mL) to 5 °C. Add lithium triethylborohydride (1 M in THF, 30.0 mL, 30.0 mmol). Remove the cooling bath and stir for 1.5 hours at room temperature. Quench the mixture with water. Add saturated NH4Cl solution and EtOAc. Separate the layers and extract the aqueous layer with EtOAc. Combine the organic extracts, dry over anhydrous MgS04, filter, and concentrate the filtrate. Dissolve the crude residue in THF (100 mL).

Add sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil, 1.94 g, 48.5 mmol). Reflux the solution for 1.5 hours. Add additional sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil, 1.94 g, 48.5 mmol), then reflux for an additional 30 minutes. Cool the solution to room temperature and quench with water. Add EtOAc and saturated NH4Cl solution. Separate the layers and extract the aqueous layer with EtOAc. Combine the organic extract, dry over anhydrous MgS04, filter, and concentrate the filtrate. Purify the residue by silica gel column chromatography eluting with a gradient of 5-7% MeOH in DCM to give the title compound (3.70 g, 72%) as a light yellow foam. ES/MS (m/z): 525.2 (M+H).

Prepare the following compounds in a manner essentially analogous to the method of Example 1, with the following variations in procedure. For the reduction, use 3 to 5 equivalents of lithium triethylborohydride with reaction times from 30 minutes to one hour and drying of the organic layers over magnesium sulfate or sodium sulfate. ETse the crude residue directly or purify by silica gel column chromatography eluting with a gradient of 0-5-7.5-10% MeOH in DCM before cyclization. Complete the cyclization by refluxing in THF for up to 16 hours, or in DMF, from 2 hours at room temperature for Ex 2, to 2 hours at 85 °C for Ex 8. Extract with DCM or EtOAc and dry organic layers over magnesium sulfate or sodium sulfate. Purify by silica gel column chromatography using up to 10% (MeOH or 7 M ammoniated MeOH) in DCM (Ex 2: gradient 0-10% MeOH in DCM; Ex 5: gradient 4-10% 7 M ammoniated MeOH in DCM; Ex 8: gradient 5-7.5% 7 M ammoniated MeOH in DCM) or by high pH reversed phase HPLC as noted.

Selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs) bind to the estrogen receptor (ER) and downregulate ER-mediated transcriptional activity. The degradation and downregulation caused by SERDs can be useful in the treatment of various proliferative immune mediated disorders, cell proliferation disorders, including cancers such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, prostate cancer, uterine cancer, gastric cancer, and lung cancer as well as mutations due to emerging resistance. Some small molecule examples of SERDs have been disclosed in the literature (see, e.g., WO2005073204, WO2014205136, and WO2016097071). Nonetheless, there is a need for new SERDs to treat ER-positive cancers, such as breast cancer, gastric cancer, and/or lung cancer.

As described in U.S. Pat. No. 10,654,866 (the ‘866 patent) a series of SERDs of the following formula have been discovered, along with pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof:

wherein one of Rand Rare independently Cl, F, —CF3, or —CH3, and the other is H.
