Abstract
Description
[0001] Cross-reference to related applications
[0002] This application claims priority and benefit to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 488,356, filed March 3, 2023, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical Field
[0003] This disclosure provides compounds and synthetic methods for preparing the compounds, which can be used to prepare compounds that can be used to treat or inhibit cancer, and in particular, compounds that can be used to treat or inhibit cancer. Background Technology
[0004] KRAS is a molecular switch. Under normal physiological conditions, this protein binds to guanosine diphosphate (GDP) in the "off" state. In response to signaling via receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) such as EGFR, GDP is exchanged for guanosine triphosphate (GTP) in a process promoted by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) such as SOS. The GTP-bound form of KRAS is in the "on" state and interacts with proteins such as RAF and PI3K to promote downstream signaling that leads to cell proliferation and survival. In a process promoted by GAPs (GTPase activators), KRAS can slowly hydrolyze GTP back to GDP, thus returning to the off state.
[0005] KRAS mutations are found in approximately 30% of all human cancers and are extremely common in the three deadliest forms of cancer: pancreatic cancer (95%), colorectal cancer (45%), and lung cancer (35%). Meanwhile, in the United States alone, more than 200,000 patients are diagnosed with these cancers each year. One specific mutation, the substitution of glycine for cysteine at position 12 (G12C), occurs in more than 40,000 patients annually. The KRAS G12C mutation weakens the hydrolysis of GTP to GDP, thus turning KRAS on and promoting cancer cell proliferation. Summary of the Invention

Benzyl bromide (75.53 g / 52.5 ml) was added to the yellow solution from the feed funnel over 1 hour. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight, and the temperature was raised from 0 °C to room temperature. LCMS data indicated that ester formation was complete after approximately 24 hours of stirring (< 2% remaining). The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator connected to a Teflon pump (approximately 30 mm vacuum), and the residue was partitioned with 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF) (400 ml) and an aqueous solution of citric acid (50 g dissolved in 250 ml water). The phases were separated, and the aqueous layer was re-extracted with 2-MeTHF (2 x 100 ml). The 2-MeTHF layers were combined, washed with water (150 ml), and concentrated under vacuum. The crude product, a grayish-white solid, was purified by crystallization from MTBE-hexane (approximately 1:4 v / v), yielding 113.1 g of product 2.
