ABSTRACT

Efficient and stereoselective syntheses of isomerically pure 4-aminotetrahydro-2H-thiopyran 1oxide

derivatives

have

successfully

been

achieved.

Isomerically

pure

(4-

nitrophenyl)sulfonyltetrahydro-2H-thiopyran 1-oxides were identified by X-ray crystallographic analyses and thus isomerically pure sulfoxide derivatives were characterized by means of 1H NMR.

Oxidation reaction of tert-butyl (4-nitrophenyl)sulfonyl(tetrahydro-2H-thiopyran-4-

yl)carbamate with Oxone® has been found to provide predominance of steric approach control to afford its trans sulfoxide with high efficiency and selectivity. From the obtained trans sulfoxide derivatives, cis sulfoxide derivatives were synthesized conveniently by means of a hydrogen chloride catalyzed isomerization.

1. Introduction Sulfoxides1 have many chemical and industrial uses and they have also attracted considerable attention because of their significant biological and pharmacological importance. Because the stereochemistry of the sulfur atom of a sulfoxide molecule significantly affects their biological activities2 is well-established, the need for stereoselective synthesis of sulfoxides3 has become increasingly more relevant.

4-Aminotetrahydro-2H-thiopyran 1-oxide is one of the popular six-membered ring sulfoxides4 components which appears in many biologically active compounds.5 Although each isomer is anticipated to exhibit different biological and pharmacological activities,5f there have been few examples of the direct preparation of isomerically pure sulfoxides for their evaluation. In many cases the sulfoxides are prepared through separation of a mixture of isomeric sulfoxides by an HPLC5f which would not be a suitable or practical synthesis of the requisite quantity of drug candidates required for further evaluation and development. The stereochemical outcome of the oxidation of tetrahydro-2H-thiopyran derivatives substituted at C(4) position by different oxidizing reagents and substituents has been welldescribed.6–8 Johnson6 reported formation of predominantly axial sulfoxides of tetrahydro-2Hthiopyran 1-oxide bearing hydrocarbon substituents and also an almost pure equatorial sulfoxide. Klein7 demonstrated the stereoselective preparation of isomerically pure 4-hydroxytrahydro-2Hthiopyran 1-oxides. However, stereoselective synthesis of isomerically pure 4-aminotetrahydro2H-thiopyran 1-oxide derivatives has not been reported. In the present paper, we describe identification of each isomer of 4-aminotetrahydro-2Hthiopyran 1-oxide derivatives by means of an X-ray crystallographic analyses, their characterization by 1H NMR, and their practical and stereoselective syntheses as useful building blocks for research and development of drugs as well as industrial uses.

Considering steric effects of the protected amino group at C(4) position of 1 on stereoselective oxidation and convenience in practical syntheses, Boc and Ns protecting groups were selected for 1 and 2a–2c for the investigation of the stereoselective oxidation into isomeric sulfoxides. Treatment of 2a–2c with NaIO4 in aqueous MeCN gave corresponding mixtures of isomeric sulfoxides trans-3 and cis-4 in 39–77% yield.

Among the obtained isomeric sulfoxides,

purification of trans-Ns,Boc-3c and cis-Ns,Boc-4c has been found to be possible easily by column chromatography on silica gel. From trans-Ns,Boc-3c and cis-Ns,Boc-4c obtained, compounds trans-Ns-3a, trans-Boc-3b, trans-3d, cis-Ns-4a, cis-Boc-4b, and cis-4d were prepared as single sulfoxide isomers without isomerization (Scheme 1): Treatment of trans-Ns,Boc-3c and cis-Ns,Boc-4c with K2CO3 in MeOH afforded trans-Ns-3a and cis-Ns-4a, and with mercaptoacetic acid in the presence of lithium hydroxide in DMSO or DMF gave trans-Boc-3b and cis-Boc-4b. Compounds trans-3d and cis-4d were synthesized from trans-Ns-3a and cis-Ns-4a by the treatment with mercaptoacetic acid in the presence of lithium hydroxide in DMSO and from trans-Boc-3b and cis-Boc-4b by the treatment with TFA. X-ray crystallographic analyses of trans-Ns-3a and cisNs-4a confirmed their structure to be the trans- and cis-sulfoxide, respectively (Figure 1).

It is interesting to note that in the solid state the isomerically pure sulfoxides trans-Ns-3a and cis-Ns-4a adopt chair-shaped six-membered ring confirmations with an oxygen atom of sulfoxide occupying axial positions. Considering from distance between the two functional groups,9 formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonding would be suggested which could affect their conformations in the crystal lattice of trans-Ns-3a and cis-Ns-4a.

2.2 Characterization of isomeric 4-aminotetrahydro-2H-thiopyran 1-oxide derivatives Next, isomerically pure sulfoxides trans-3 and cis-4 were characterized by means of 1H NMR (Table 1). It has been found that chemical shifts for Hb and He in trans-3a–d are lower than those in cis-4a–d suggesting that chemical shifts of Hb and He might be characteristic of each sulfoxide isomer and useful for determination of stereochemistry of 4-aminotetrahydro-2Hthiopyran 1-oxide derivatives. Also, NMR spectra for β-axial protons (Hc) of trans-3a–d and cis-4a–d appear lower field than β-equatorial ones (Hd) which suggest that the sulfoxide groups of trans-3 and cis-4 adopt axial configuration.

Furthermore, NOESY experiments revealed significant correlation

between Hc and He and that between Hc and Hf in cis-Ns-4a suggesting the sulfonamide groups of trans-Ns-3a and cis-Ns-4a occupy axial and equatorial position respectively.

2.3 Investigation for stereoselective synthesis of isomerically pure 4-aminotetrahydro-2Hthiopyran 1-oxide derivatives. To develop a practical and stereoselective synthesis of isomerically pure 4-aminotetrahydro2H-thiopyran 1-oxide derivatives, oxidation reactions of 1 and 2a–c with various oxidizing reagents were investigated. The stereoselectivities of the oxidation reactions were determined by HPLC or 1H NMR (Table 2). In the oxidation reactions of 1, Ns-2a and Boc-2b with aqueous NaIO4 corresponding cis-4 were obtained as major products (Runs 1–3) similarly to the results with other 4-substituted tetrahydro-2H-thiopyran reported by Johnson.6 In contrast to the results, it is interesting to note

that Ns,Boc-2c has been found to yield trans-Ns,Boc-3c as a major product (Runs 4 and 5) under the same reaction conditions, suggesting that the tert-butyl-N-(2-nitrophenylsulfonyl)carbamate group of Ns,Boc-2c might provide predominance of steric approach control in the formation of sulfoxides.6a As it is well studied that most peroxide oxidants provide a predominance of the trans 4substituted tetrahydro-2H-thiopyran-1-oxides,6 aqueous H2O2, MMPP, CHPO, and Oxone® were employed to investigate oxidation reactions of Ns,Boc-2c with expectation of formation of transNs,Boc-3c with higher stereoselectivity (Runs 6-9 in Table 2). Although aqueous H2O2, MMPP and CHPO afforded trans-Ns,Boc-3c in insufficient yield and/or selectivity, Oxone® has been found to give rise to trans-Ns,Boc-3c in excellent yield and selectivity. Furthermore, similar selectivity and yield of trans-Ns,Boc-3c have been found to be reproduced even in scaled-up experiments of the reaction (Run 9 in Table 2) up to in ca. 70 mol scale.

2.4. Practical and stereoselective synthesis of isomerically pure 4-aminotetrahydro-2Hthiopyran 1-oxide derivatives Isolation of isomerically pure trans-Ns,Boc-3c was achieved by recrystallization of the reaction mixture (Run 9 in Table 2) from acetonitrile and water in 81–90% yield (trans-Ns,Boc3c/cis-Ns,Boc-4c = 98/2–99/1) without the need of purification by column chromatography. Thus, efficient and stereoselective syntheses of trans-Ns-3a, trans-Boc-3b, and trans-3d via trans-Ns,Boc-3c have successfully been achieved according to the method shown in Scheme 1. On the other hand, preparation of cis-4 from the mixture of isomeric sulfoxides shown in Runs 1–4 in Table 2 resulted in low yield or insufficient separation of cis-4 from trans-3.
