AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies lack efficient and simple methods for synthesizing stereochemically pure phosphoryl diamine oligonucleotides, resulting in low diastereomeric purity, difficulty in separation, and traditional methods are time-consuming, labor-intensive, wasteful of solvents, and have lengthy synthetic routes that are difficult to scale up.
Chiral morpholinophosphoryl chloride monomers and their preparation methods are employed. In the presence of organic solvents, bases, chiral ligands, and copper catalysts, compounds with specific structures are reacted to generate chiral morpholinophosphoryl chloride monomers. The bidirectional control characteristics of copper catalysts are utilized to selectively synthesize monomers with specific configurations, avoiding racemization caused by strong bases/high temperatures, thus achieving stereoselective synthesis.
This method enables efficient and concise stereoselective synthesis of chiral morpholinophosphoryl chloride monomers with high yield and wide applicability. It is suitable for the preparation of oligonucleotide chains, especially PMO and TMO chains, simplifying the separation process and improving the efficiency and purity of drug development.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis technology, specifically relating to a chiral morpholine phosphoryl chloride monomer, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] The synthesis of diastereomeric phosphoric acid oligonucleotides is considerably complex due to the presence of chiral phosphorus bonds. The presence of chiral phosphorus presents significant challenges to the synthesis of nucleotides involving the linkage of a series of phosphoric acid diamines. However, to date, there has been a lack of efficient, simple, stereochemically pure, and universally applicable methods capable of stereoselectively forming phosphoric acid diamine bonds. For example, in... Figure 1 As illustrated in the diagram, most reported methods for synthesizing long-chain PMOs currently utilize the stereochemically uncontrolled coupling of racemic monomers to prepare oligonucleotides and sequences of the desired lengths, resulting in a heterogeneous mixture of many diastereomers. Theoretically, the number of diastereomers is 2-1. n Where n is the number of nucleotides linked to form the oligonucleotide. The formation of a large number of diastereomers poses a significant challenge to subsequent separation techniques. A highly effective method to address this problem is to use chiral pure PMO monomers to synthesize phosphoridamide morpholino oligonucleotide chains with the desired specific conformational sequence via stereospecific substitution reactions.
[0003] There are currently two reported strategies for synthesizing stereopure monomers: (1) Direct separation of racemic monomers (Assignee: Eisai, Management Co., Ltd. Chiralreagents for preparation and HPLC separation of morpholino nucleosides in synthesis of homogeneous DNA. WO2017 / 024264 A2); (2) Chiral pure PMO monomers were synthesized by resolving the racemic cofactor and then carrying out a multi-step reaction (CH Wook, et al. Crystalline monomers for preparing antisense oligonucleotides and methods of their preparation and use. WO 2024 / 010870 A2).
[0004] Both strategies have drawbacks: lengthy synthetic routes (e.g., the OTP strategy requires 3-4 steps), necessitate the use of stoichiometric chiral reagents and chromatographic separation of diastereomers, which are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and wasteful of solvents. They may also limit the scale of chiral pure monomer preparation. In contrast, using a catalytic strategy to directly obtain monomers with the desired configuration eliminates all prosthetic group-related operations. It allows for the selection of specific diastereomers before synthesis, and the subsequent synthesis of the selected diastereomers in stereochemically pure or substantially pure form, which is highly valuable. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a chiral morpholine oligophosphoryl chloride monomer, its preparation method, and its applications.

[0022] Thirdly, the present invention provides the application of a chiral morpholinophosphoryl chloride monomer in the synthesis of morpholino oligonucleotide chains.
[0023] Fourthly, the present invention provides a method for preparing morpholine oligonucleotide chains, comprising the following steps: S1. Deprotect the protecting group Tr on the linker derived from aminomethyl polystyrene resin to obtain a free secondary amine; S2. The free secondary amine is coupled with the chiral morpholinophosphoryl chloride monomer to obtain the morpholino oligonucleotide dimer; S3. After capping with a capping reagent, remove the protecting group on the morpholine oligonucleotide dimer to obtain the deprotected morpholine oligonucleotide dimer. S4.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The chiral morpholinophosphoryl chloride monomer prepared by this invention can exist stably in solvents or environments and can undergo subsequent substitution and chain extension. The protecting group has a certain degree of stability and exists stably under coupling conditions, while also having the characteristic of easy removal. It can achieve efficient chain extension through DNA / peptide synthesizers and / or solid-phase synthesis methods, and is especially suitable for the preparation of oligonucleotide chains. It is particularly suitable for constructing morpholino-based oligonucleotide (PMO or TMO) chains.
[0025] 2. This invention provides a novel method for preparing chiral morpholinophosphoryl chloride monomers, which can obtain stereochemically pure or substantially pure forms of chiral morpholinophosphoryl chloride monomers. The method employs mild reaction conditions, avoiding the risk of racemization caused by strong bases / high temperatures. The "two-way control" characteristic of the copper catalyst used in this method allows for the separate acquisition of Rp / Sp monomers simply by changing the configuration of the chiral ligands. The monomers with all four bases can achieve a dr ratio of >80:20, and the highest can reach >99:1 dr, which is crucial for drug development requiring structure-activity relationship studies. Traditional chromatographic separation often yields less than 30%, while the monomer yield of the method of this invention is between 50-93%, demonstrating significant scale-up potential.
[0026] 3. The preparation method of this invention utilizes a highly efficient catalytic asymmetric desymmetry strategy, completely eliminating the reliance on traditional chiral cofactors or chromatographic resolution. With its simple steps, high atom economy, excellent stereoselectivity, and broad substrate applicability, it enables the flexible and scalable preparation of chiral pure morpholine monomers with various configurations, bases, and skeletons (PMO / TMO, etc.). This provides a powerful synthetic platform for developing next-generation morpholine oligonucleotide drugs with precise stereostructures and optimized performance.
[0027] 4. Traditional phosphoramide imine ester routes cannot synthesize thio analogs, but the preparation method of this invention achieves stereo-oriented preparation of thio monomers for the first time through a protecting group strategy, which provides the possibility for the development of novel antisense drugs.
