Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic synthesis technology, and in particular to a method for preparing an intermediate of a spongin analogue. Background Technology
[0002] Halichondrin is a class of polyether macrocyclic lactone compounds, first isolated from the Japanese sponge (Halichondria okadai). Halichondrin compounds are potent inhibitors of microtubule protein, especially halichondrin B, which exhibits good anticancer activity both in vitro and in vivo. Its structural formula is shown below.
[0003] However, these compounds cannot be cultured in large quantities in sponges, and their complex structures make them difficult to synthesize artificially, resulting in a lack of such drugs for clinical trials.
[0004] Halaven (Eribulin mesylate) is a macrocyclic ketone analog obtained by simplifying the structure of erythromycin B. The structural formula of Eribulin is shown below. This compound retains the activity of leptin B and exhibits better water solubility and chemical stability compared to leptin B. It was approved by the FDA in November 2010 for the treatment of recurrent and metastatic breast cancer in patients who have received at least two prior chemotherapy regimens.
[0005] Compound X (structural formula is) This compound, forming the C20-C26 fragment of the leptin analogue, contains two chiral centers. The preparation method of compound X is disclosed in SYNLETT 2013, 24, 0327-0332, via the following synthetic route:
[0006]
[0007] This method uses a catalyst (R,R)-Jacobsen's salen (Co) to perform hydrolytic kinetic resolution of racemic epoxides, yielding a chiral starting material of formula II'. However, this chiral resolution step generates a large number of enantiomers as byproducts. Chiral starting material II' then reacts with diethyl malonate to generate a lactone of formula III'. The ethyl ester side chain of this lactone undergoes hydrolysis and decarboxylation, followed by methylation at C25 to form a C25 chiral center, resulting in a mixture of approximately 6 / 1 of the diastereomers of formula V. This mixture has very low chiral purity. This method does not separate these diastereomer impurities but directly introduces them into the next reaction step, where column chromatography is used for separation after multiple reaction steps. However, introducing diastereomer impurities into subsequent reaction steps generates a series of derived impurities, placing significant pressure on subsequent impurity removal and hindering the improvement and control of the final product's chiral purity, as well as hindering scale-up production. Furthermore, this method uses lactone and N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride to generate Weinreb amide. This reaction step uses excess AlMe3 as a catalyst, which is complex and not conducive to scale-up production. In addition, the yield of lactone in this step is low. Summary of the Invention
