polyhydroxylated aminocyclitols

Abstract: Stereoselective transformations of the 4-vinyl-2-azetidinone derivative 4 to a variety of highly functionalized 6- and 5-membered carbocyclic compounds 7 and 9 were carried out using sequences involving sequential C1-N bond cleavage and Ru-catalyzed ring-closing metathesis. The derived carbocycles were further transformed to polyhydroxylated 6- and 5-membered aminocyclitols.

Introduction

Polyhydroxylated amino-cyclohexanes and -cyclopentanes, termed aminocyclitols, constitute an important class of natural and synthetic products, which display diverse biological activities.1 In particular, members of the aminocyclitol family serve as aminoglycoside antibiotics and others are glycosidase inhibitors and antiviral agents.2 Also, aminocyclitols are carbocyclic analogues of biologically important monosaccharides or aminosugars.3 Because of 1

the important characteristics of these substances, many investigations have been conducted over the past several decades to develop general strategies to produce novel members of this family, especially those that have enhanced and/or more selective biological profiles.4 In these investigations it has been recognized that the presence of dense functionality as well as multiple contiguous chiral centers make aminocyclitols a major synthetic challenge.5 The 2-azetidinone moiety is a key structural element in a widely employed family of antibacterial agents known as β-lactam antibiotics.6 Owing to this, many studies, aimed at developing methods for practical and stereoselective synthesis of 2-azetidinones, have been carried out.7 Owing to the wealth of approaches that have been devised for their synthesis, 2azetidinones are now readily available to the point that they are now being utilized as chiral synthons in routes for the preparation of other important classes of compounds.8 Examples of these applications are found in transformations of 2-azetidinones to nonproteogenic amino acids, peptides9 and other bioactive nitrogen containing heterocycles8d through routes that employ ring expansion or rearrangement reactions to generate 2-pyrrolidinones10 and 2piperidones.8a,8b,11 As part of our recent efforts in this broad area, we developed a new, two-carbon ring homologation methodology for synthesis of 2-piperidones from readily accessible 2azetidinones,11 and routes for preparation of (phyto)sphingosines involving ring opening by phosphonate stabilized carbanions and subsequent Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination.12 As part of our continuing investigations probing the utilization of 2-azetidinones as chiral synthons, we envisioned that optically active cyclohexenones and cyclopentenones (A and B) would be potentially accessible through ring-closing metathesis (RCM)8d,13 of the respective 1,6-dienes and 1,5-dienes (C and D) (Scheme 1). Moreover, we realized the possibility that the requisite dienes, C and D, could be prepared by using C1-N bond cleavage reactions of optically active N-Boc-4-vinyl-2-azetidinone (4) with corresponding allyl and vinyl organometallic reagents (Scheme 1). The investigation, designed to assess the validity of these proposals led to observations described below, which show that 2-azetidinones 4 can be readily transformed to highly functionalized 6- and 5-membered carbocyclic products A and B. In addition, the effort also demonstrated that A and B serve as valuable intermediates in concise 2

Results and Discussion N-Boc-4-vinyl-2-azetidinone (4), the starting material employed in the new routes developed for synthesis of functionalized 6- and 5-membered carbocyclic products A and B, was prepared in enantiomerically pure form using the four-step sequence outlined in Scheme 2.

In the route,

the conversion of known optically pure Bose-Manhas 2-azetidinone 1, prepared by Staudinger reaction of the 4-anisidine imine of (R)-2,3-O-isopropylideneglyceraldehyde with benzyoxyacetyl chloride in the presence of Et3N,14 to the corresponding diol 2 was accomplished by using p-TsOH promoted hydrolysis in aqueous THF (89%).15 The resulting 1,2-diol moiety in 2 was then subjected to cleavage reaction with I2 and PPh316 to produce NPMP-4-vinyl-2-azetidinone 3 (91%). The PMP (p-methoxyphenyl) protecting group in 3 was transformed to a N-Boc group in 4 through sequential reactions with cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) and (t-Boc)2O (53%, 4 steps from 1).

As stated above, we envisaged that 2-azetidinone 4 would serve as a versatile chiral synthon in sequences for the preparation of valuable enantiomerically pure substances. Relevant to this proposal is the expectation that the amide bond in 4 would be readily cleaved in reactions with various nucleophiles such as amines, alcohols, and organometallic reagents that form corresponding β–amino-amides, -esters, and -ketones.8a,8b We were aware of the earlier observation that ring opening reactions of 2-azetidinones with alkyl Grignard reagents invariably leads to mixtures of β–amino-ketones and -carbinols.17 However, we believed that formation of undesired carbinols in ring opening reactions of 4 with allyl and vinyl Grignards would be avoided if it is first converted to the Weinreb amide 5 by treatment with N,Odimethylhydroxylamine in the presence of Ti(OPr-i)4 (90%). An extensive optimization investigation led to the observation that addition of excess amounts of allylmagnesium bromide to 5 in THF at -30 0C for 2 h using a syringe pump generates the desired 1,6-diene 6 as the sole product in 95% isolated yield. Similarly, slow addition of vinylmagnesium bromide to 5 in Et2O at 0 0C produces 1,5-diene 8 in 78% yield (Scheme 3).

We next assessed the efficiencies of ring-closing metathesis13 reactions of 6 and 8 using Grubb’s 2nd generation Ru-catalyst. These processes, carried out in toluene, were observed to efficiently generate the corresponding (2R,3S)-2-benzyloxy-3-(N-Boc)aminocyclohex-4-en-1one 7 (93%) and (2R,3S)-2-benzyloxy-3-(N-Boc)aminocyclopent-4-en-1-one 9 (92%) (Scheme 3).

6-Membered Carbocycles and Aminocyclitols To demonstrate that 7 and 9 are potentially valuable chiral synthons in synthetic routes to aminocyclitols, we first explored stereoselective reductions of their carbonyl groups, and then assessed the outcomes of ensuing reactions that introduce additional functional groups. A thorough evaluation of stereoselective carbonyl reduction reactions of (2R,3S)-7 led to the observation that this cyclohexenone can be transformed to either (1S,2R,3S)-10 or (1R,2R,3S)-11 (Scheme 4). Specifically, treatment of 7 with LiEt3BH in THF at -20 oC leads to formation of the 1,2-cis diol 10 in 98% yield, via a process in which hydride transfer from the bulky superhydride occurs on the carbonyl face that is trans to the neighbouring 2benzyoxy group. The absolute stereochemistry of (1S,2R,3S)-10 was assigned by using X-ray crystallographic analysis of the acetate 12 (CCDC 1848803), which is derived by acetylation and t-Boc removal (Scheme 5). In contrast, Luche reduction18 (NaBH4, CeCl3∙7H2O in MeOH) 5

of 7 forms the 1,2-trans diol, (1R,2R,3S)-11 as the major product (10:11 = 1:9, 81%). It is likely that in this process cerate ions coordinates to the C-1 carbonyl oxygen and the neighbouring O-benzyl ether oxygen in 7. In this event, hydride delivery would take place to the carbonyl face trans to the 3-(t-Boc)amine group.

Having demonstrated that 1,2-dihydroxy-3-amino-cyclohex-4-ene derivatives 10 and 11 can be prepared in an efficient and sterocontrolled manner, we next explored applications of these substances to the synthesis of 6-membered aminocyclitols. Accordingly, 11 was subjected to dihydroxylation reaction using standard Upjohn conditions19 (cat. OsO4, 2 equiv NMO, acetone-H2O-tBuOH). The process forms the (1R,2R,3S,4S,5R)-diol 16 as the predominant product. The anti-selectivity (to the 3-(N-t-Boc)amino group) of this dihydroxylation reaction is in accordance with Donohoe’s earlier findings.20To facilitate structural determination, 16 was converted to the corresponding tri-acetate 17 (Scheme 6). The structure and stereochemistry of 17 were then assigned using 2D-NOESY spectroscopic analysis (see SI). 6

In contrast to the highly stereoselective nature of the reaction of 1,2-anti-11, 1,2-syn-10 undergoes Upjohn dihydroxylation to produce a 7:3 mixture of 18 and 19. However, the acetate derivative 20, formed by acetylation of 1,2-syn-10, undergoes highly anti-selective dihydroxylation to form 21 as the major diol product (70%) under slightly modified Upjohn conditions (cat. OsO4, 2 equiv NMO, 2,6-lutidine, CH3CN-H2O). For simplicity purposes, 21 was converted to the tri-acetate 22 whose structure and stereochemistry were assigned using 2D-NOESY spectroscopy (see SI), (Scheme 6). The observed anti-selective, relative to the 3(N-t-Boc)amino group, nature of dihydroxylation of 20 is also in accordance with Donohoe’s earlier observations.20 To expand the scope of their synthetic applications, the 6-membered carbocycles 10 and 11 were subjected to epoxidation with m-CPBA. Epoxidations of mono N-protected amide and carbamate derivatives of cyclic allylic amines with peracids are known to occur with high degrees of syn-selectivity, presumably as a consequence of hydrogen-bonding interactions between the amide carbonyl groups with the peracid.20b, 21 In fact, epoxidations of 10 and 11 were found to produce the corresponding epoxides 23 (84%) and 24 (86%) stereoselectively 7

(Scheme 7). In an effort aimed at determining if more functionally rich aminocyclitols can be accessed using this chemistry, we observed that epoxides 23 and 24 undergo regioselective epoxide ring-opening reactions with NaN3 under acidic conditions1a,21a to generate the functionally more diverse aminocyclitols 25 and 26, respectively (Scheme 7). For example, treatment of epoxide 23 with NaN3 in the presence of NH4Cl in MeOH forms the highly functionalized cyclohexane derivatives 25 as the predominant product (78%) via regioselective, less hindered azide addition at C5. The stereochemical outcome of azide addition to the epoxide 23 affording 4,5-trans-diaxial-4-hydroxy-5-azide 25 is also in accordance with the FurstPlattner rule. Moreover, epoxide 24 is transformed to azide 26 under the similar reaction conditions. The structure and stereochemistry of epoxide 23 was deduced by X-ray crystal structure analysis (CCDC 1877126) of the corresponding azide-addition product 25 (see below) and those of 26 were identified by analysis of the the 2D-NOESY and HSQC spectra of diacetate derivative 27 (Scheme 7).

5-Membered Carbocycles and Aminocyclitols

The chemical transformations used for stereoselective transformations of the 6-membered carbocycle 7 to the diverse 6-membered aminocyclitols 10-26 were applied to the 5-membered analog 9. Firstly, stereoselective reduction of 9 under Luche conditions18 (NaBH4, CeCl3∙7H2O 8

in MeOH) produces 1,2-trans diol 13 as the predominant product (96%) (Scheme 8). The structure and stereochemistry of (1R,2R,3S)-13 were indirectly assigned by employing X-ray crystallographic analysis of the ester-sulfonamide derivative 15 (CCDC 1867550), formed by sequential acetylation, t-Boc-deprotection and sulfonylation of 13 (Scheme 9). Similar to Luche reduction of 7, coordination of cerate ion to the C-1 carbonyl and neighbouring 2benzyloxy ether oxygens in 9 likely guides hydride delivery to the carbonyl face opposite side trans to the 3-(N-t-Boc)-amine group.

To demonstrate its use in routes for the production of more diversely functionalized 5membered aminocyclitols, (1R,2R,3S)-13 was subjected to dihydroxylation reaction under the Upjohn conditions (Scheme 10). This process stereoselectively generated 28, whose structure and stereochemistry were assigned by using COSY, HSQC and 2D-NOE spectroscopic analysis of its tri-acetate derivative 29. Like in the 6-membered series, this dihydroxylation reaction takes place on the alkene face that is anti to both of 3-(N-t-Boc)-amine and 1-hydroxyl groups in 13.20 Next, reaction of 13 with m-CPBA was observed to form the corresponding epoxide 30 (86%) in a manner that is syn to both of 1-hydroxyl and 3-(N-t-Boc)-amine groups.20b,21 9

Finally, to show that more highly functionalized 5-membered aminocyclitols can be accessed using this protocol, epoxide 30 was subjected to reaction with NaN3 under acidic conditions (NaN3, NH4Cl in MeOH). However, under these conditions a mixture of regioisomers 31 and 32 was generated. In contrast, treatment of acetylated epoxide 33 with NaN3 under neutral conditions (NaN3, DMF-H2O, 100 oC) leads to production of the azide 31 as the predominant product in 85% yield through a pathway involving regioselective epoxide ring-opening promoted by azide addition to C4 (Scheme 10). The stereochemistry of 31 was assigned by analysis of the COSY, HSQC and NOE spectra of the corresponding diacetate 34 (see SI).

Conclusion

In summary, in the effort described above we developed efficient pathways for stereoselective transformation of the readily available 4-vinyl-2-azetidinone 4 to highly functionalized 6- and 5-membered carbocycles 7 and 9, through allyl- or vinyl-Grignard addition followed by Ru10

catalysed ring-closing metathesis of the resulting dienes 6 and 8. In addition, the results demonstrate that 7 and 9 can be transformed to a variety of highly functionalized aminocyclitols 10-34 through routes involving stereoselective carbonyl reductions, dihydroxylation, epoxidation and azide promoted epoxide ring opening.

Experimental Section General All commercial reagents were used as obtained from commercial sources unless otherwise specified. Reactions were performed with reagent grade solvents except dichloromethane (DCM), ether, THF which were dried and purified using a solvent purification system. The progress of reactions was monitored using thin layer chromatography (TLC) and visualized using UV light and by staining with ethanolic phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) solution or KMnO4 solution followed by heating. Flash column chromatography was carried out on silica gel (38-75 μm). Analytical thin layer chromatography (TLC) was performed on Merck silica gel 60 F254 plates. Preparative thin layer chromatography (PLC) was performed on Merck silica gel 60 F254 2mm plates. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were recorded using Bruker 500 MHz NMR instrument (1H NMR at 300, 500 MHz and 13C NMR at 75, 125 MHz). 1H NMR data are reported as follows: chemical shift (δ, ppm), multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, m = multiplet, br = broad), integration, coupling constants (Hz). Data for 13C NMR are reported in terms of chemical shift (δ, ppm). Specific rotations were measured on a Rudolph Autopol IV (Automatic polarimeter). High-resolution mass spectra and elemental analysis were obtained from the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology. HR-MS were measured with fast atom bombardment (FAB) ionization via double focusing mass analyzer (magnetic and electric fields).
