[0001] This application claims priority to European Patent Application No. 23194788.8, filed on 1 September 2023, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety for all purposes. Technical Field
[0002] This invention relates to methods for preparing phosphonamide ester compounds or their salts or solvates. The invention also relates to phosphonamide ester compounds or their salts and solvates. Furthermore, this invention relates to phosphonamide ester compounds or their salts or solvates that can be obtained, or are being obtained, by the methods of this invention. Background Technology
[0003] Unsaturated phosphonamide esters are important phosphorus (V) compounds that can be used, for example, to prepare bioconjugates with proteins and antibodies, and to prepare bioactive agents such as antibody-drug conjugates; see, for example, WO 2023 / 083900 A1 and WO 2023 / 083919 A1. Phosphamide esters have been synthesized to date via the so-called Staudingerphosphonite reaction; see, for example, WO 2018 / 041985 A1; M.-A. Kasper, A. Stengl, P. Ochtrop, M. Gerlach, T. Stoschek, D. Schumacher, J. Helma, M. Penkert, E. Krause, H. Leonhardt, CPR Hackenberger, “Ethynylphosphonamidates for the Rapid and Cysteine-Selective Generation of Efficacious Antibody-Drug Conjugates”, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2019, Vol. 58, pp. 11631-11636, https: / / doi.org / 10.1002 / anie.201904193; and M.-A. Kasper, M. Glanz, A. Stengl, M. Penkert, S. Klenk, T. Sauer, D. Schumacher, J. Helma, E. Krause, MC Cardoso, H. Leonhardt, CPR Hackenberger, “Cysteine-Selective Phosphonamidate Electrophiles for Modular Protein Bioconjugations”, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2019, Vol. 58, pp. 11625-11630, https: / / doi.org / 10.1002 / anie.201814715. The following schemes depict illustrative examples of the synthesis of phosphonamidate esters via the Staudinger pathway: . In any case, the Staudinger pathway to obtain phosphonamide esters requires the use of alcohols HO-R and azides, i.e., compounds containing the N3 moiety.
[0004] While the Staudinger reaction can deliver phosphonamide esters in a reasonable number of steps, certain drawbacks remain. For example, as can be seen from the above scheme, according to the described mechanism, two equivalents of alcohol are required as starting material in the synthesis. In practice, even larger excesses of up to three equivalents of alcohol are needed to drive the reaction to the desired yield. However, only one equivalent of alcohol is incorporated into the phosphonamide ester product. The other equivalents of alcohol do not contribute to the product but may increase the amount of waste and / or require further separation and / or recycling via additional steps. Furthermore, when the alcohol HO-R is precious, for example, when it is difficult to prepare or expensive, the loss of one equivalent of alcohol during synthesis must be considered. Furthermore, as another example, azides are generally explosive compounds; see, for example, Bräse S., Gil C., Knepper K., Zimmermann V., Organic Azides: An Exploding Diversity of a Unique Class of Compounds, Angewandte Chemie International Edition 2005, Vol. 44, pp. 5188-5240, https: / / doi.org / 10.1002 / anie.200400657. Therefore, the use and handling of azides pose a substantial explosion hazard associated with the synthesis of phosphonamide esters.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need for alternative synthetic routes to obtain phosphonamide esters, particularly synthetic routes that allow for efficient and safe implementation. Summary of the Invention

[0040] Unless otherwise indicated, the terms "substituted," "optionally substituted," and "optionally substituted" generally mean that one or more hydrogen atoms can be independently replaced by a substituent. Typical substituents include, but are not limited to, -X, -R, and -O. - -OR, -SR, -S - , -NR2, -NR3, =NR, -CX3, -CN, -OCN, -SCN, -N=C=O, -NCS, -NO, -NO2, =N2, -N3, -NRC(=O)R, -C(=O)R, -C(=O)NR2, -SO3- , -SO3H, -S(=O)2R, -OS(=O)2OR, -S(=O)2NR, -S(=O)R, -OP(=O)(OR)2, -P(=O)(OR)2, -PO4 3- -PO3H2, -C(=O)R, -C(=O)X, -C(=S)R, -CO2R, -CO2, -C(=S)OR, -C(=O)SR, -C(=S)SR, -C(=O)NR2, -C(=S)NR2 or -C(=NR)NR2, where each X is independently a halogen: -F, -CI, -Br or -I; and each R is independently -H, -(Cl-C 20 )alkyl (e.g., -(C1-C) 10 alkyl or -(C1-C8)alkyl), -(C6-C 20 )Aryl, (e.g. -(C6-C) 10 aryl, or preferably -C6-aryl), -(C3-C 14 Heterocyclic rings (e.g., -(C3-C)) 10 ( ) heterocyclic or -(C3-C8) heterocyclic, protecting group or prodrug moiety. Typical substituents also include (=O).
[0041] As used herein, the term "aliphatic or aromatic residue" generally refers to an aliphatic substituent, such as, but not limited to, alkyl residues; however, it may optionally be substituted with other aliphatic and / or aromatic substituents. As a non-limiting example, an aliphatic residue can be a nucleic acid, enzyme, coenzyme, nucleotide, oligonucleotide, monosaccharide, polysaccharide, polymer, fluorophore, optionally substituted benzene, etc., provided that such a molecule is directly linked to the core structure (in R...). 1 In cases where (e.g., the linkage to an oxygen atom bonded to phosphorus) is aliphatic, the residue may be a substituent. An aromatic residue is a substituent in which the direct linkage to the core structure is part of an aromatic system, such as an optionally substituted phenyl, triazolyl, pyridyl, or nucleotide; as a non-limiting example, if the direct linkage of the nucleotide to the core structure is, for example, via a phenyl residue. As used herein, the term "aromatic residue" also includes heteroaromatic residues.
[0042] As used herein, the term "protecting group" or "protective group" generally refers to a portion that is introduced into a molecule to protect certain functional groups and thus prevent reactions at those functional groups under the synthetic conditions experienced by the molecule in one or more subsequent steps. When protection is no longer needed, for example after one or more reactions have occurred elsewhere at other functional groups in the molecule, the protecting group can be cleaved. Cleavage of the protecting group, or also referred to as "deprotection," results in the restoration of the original functional group that was present before the introduction of the protecting group to protect the functional group. For illustrative purposes only, this is referred to as the protecting group of the carboxylic acid group -COOH. The introduction of a protecting group (which may be abbreviated, for example, as "PG") to protect the carboxylic acid group produces a partial -COOPG. After the cleavage of the protecting group PG, i.e., after deprotection, and optionally after aqueous posttreatment and / or other purification methods known to those skilled in the art, the original carboxylic acid group -COOH is restored. As a precaution, it should be noted, based on the foregoing general definition of a protecting group, that a group used to activate a functional group is not a protecting group within the meaning of the foregoing definition. For example, groups used to activate carboxylic acids to increase reactivity in reactions at the carboxyl group (e.g., acyl chlorides, acid anhydrides, or reactive esters (e.g., N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) esters)) are not protecting groups. Such activating groups are not used to protect functional groups and prevent reactions at said functional groups, but rather to impart, provide, or increase the reactivity of said functional groups. Furthermore, reactions at activated functional groups generally do not restore the original functional group but lead to the formation of new functional groups, such as the formation of amides after activating carboxylic acids with, for example, an NHS ester and subsequently reacting with an amine. Various possible protecting groups are known in the art for different functional groups, such as amino, hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl, phosphate, and terminal alkynes, differing in their introduction and / or cleavage conditions. Therefore, suitable protecting groups are known and readily selected by those skilled in the art.

[0046] Without being bound by any theory, it is assumed that the method for preparing the compound of formula (I) can be carried out according to the following proposed reaction scheme: . Therefore, in step (i), compound (VII) (as an illustrative example, compound (VII) could be, for example, a Grignard compound) can react with the compound of formula (VIII) in a substitution reaction at phosphorus to give intermediate (VI), thereby releasing the leaving group LG. In step (ii), intermediate (VI) can react with the compound of formula (V) to give intermediate (IV), thereby releasing HNR. 21 R 22 (or HNR) 23 R 24 In step (iii), intermediate (IV) can react with the alcohol of formula (III) to give intermediate (II), thereby releasing HNR. 23 R 24 (or HNR) 21 R 22 When HNR is in step (ii) 23 R 24 (The phosphorus is released). Then, in step (iv), an oxidant can be used to oxidize intermediate (II) (wherein phosphorus is in oxidized state III) to obtain the phosphonamide ester of formula (I) (wherein phosphorus is in oxidized state V). In a preferred embodiment, as further described below, the method can be carried out as a one-pot process. However, it is also possible to separate one or more intermediates. Also as described herein, the order of introducing the compound of formula (V) and the alcohol of formula (III) can be reversed; that is, it is possible to introduce the alcohol of formula (III) in step (ii) and then introduce the compound of formula (V) in step (iii).
[0047] It has been discovered that the order of substitution reactions at the phosphorus atom can be interchanged; that is, the product obtained in step (i) by reacting the compound of formula (VIII) with the compound of formula (VII) can be reacted with the compound of formula (III) in step (ii), and then the product obtained in step (ii) can be reacted with the compound of formula (V) in step (iii).

[0048] Compounds of formula (VI) have proven to be quite stable and can therefore be isolated and stored. Therefore, it is also possible to use compounds of formula (VI) as starting materials in methods for preparing compounds of formula (I). Consequently, the present invention also relates to a method for preparing compounds of formula (I) or their salts or solvates, said method comprising: (ii) Compounds of formula (VI): (VI), in: It is a three-key; or It is a double bond; V It does not exist when it is a triple bond; or V When it is a double bond, it is H or (C1-C8) alkyl; X when When it is a three-key ;or X when When it is a double bond ; R 21 R 22 R 23 and R 24 Each is independently H or optionally substituted (C1-C8) alkyl; optionally R 21 and R 22 They can form a ring together; and / or optionally R 23 and R 24 They can form a ring together; and / or optionally R 21 and R 22 One of them can be with R 23 and R 24 One of them together forms a ring; R 3 Selected from H, -Si(R) Si )3 and (C1-C8) alkyl, wherein R Si Each is independently a (C1-C8) alkyl group; R 4 It is H or (C1-C8) alkyl; and R 5 It is H or (C1-C8) alkyl Reaction with compounds of formula (V) or their salts or solvates: (V), in: R 6 It is H or (C1-C8) alkyl; A is a spacer; and PG is a protecting group; (iii) React the product obtained in step (ii) with a compound of formula (III) or a salt or solvate thereof: (III), in: R 1 It is an optionally substituted aliphatic residue or an optionally substituted aromatic residue; and (iv) React the product obtained in step (iii) with an oxidizing agent to obtain a compound of formula (I) or a salt or solvation thereof: (I), in: It is a three-key; or It is a double bond; V It does not exist when it is a triple bond; or V When it is a double bond, it is H or (C1-C8) alkyl; X when When it is a three-key ;or X when When it is a double bond ; R 1 It is either an optional substituted aliphatic residue or an optional substituted aromatic residue; R 3 Selected from H, -Si(R) Si )3 and (C1-C8) alkyl, wherein R Si Each is independently a (C1-C8) alkyl group; R 4 It is H or (C1-C8) alkyl; R 5 It is H or (C1-C8) alkyl; R 6 It is H or (C1-C8) alkyl; A is a spacer; and PG is a protecting group. To facilitate comparison between the foregoing method and methods including steps (i) to (iv), the step numbers are retained, i.e., the foregoing method includes steps (ii) to (iv).
[0049] When a compound of formula (VI) is used as the starting material in step (ii), the order of substitution reactions at the phosphorus atom may also be exchanged; that is, in step (ii), the compound of formula (VI) may react with the compound of formula (III), and then the product obtained in step (ii) may react with the compound of formula (V) in step (iii). Therefore, the present invention also relates to a method for preparing a compound of formula (I) or a salt or solvate thereof, the method comprising: (ii) To make a compound of formula (VI) or a salt or solvate thereof: (VI), in: It is a three-key; or It is a double bond; V It does not exist when it is a triple bond; or V When it is a double bond, it is H or (C1-C8) alkyl; X when When it is a three-key ;or X when When it is a double bond ; R 21 R 22 R 23 and R 24 Each is independently H or optionally substituted (C1-C8) alkyl; optionally R 21 and R 22 They can form a ring together; and / or optionally R 23 and R 24 They can form a ring together; and / or optionally R 21 and R 22 One of them can be with R 23 and R 24 One of them together forms a ring; R 3 Selected from H, -Si(R) Si )3 and (C1-C8) alkyl, wherein R Si Each is independently a (C1-C8) alkyl group; R 4 It is H or (C1-C8) alkyl; and R 5 It is H or (C1-C8) alkyl Reaction with compounds of formula (III) or their salts or solvates: (III), in: R 1 It is an optionally substituted aliphatic residue or an optionally substituted aromatic residue; and (iii) React the product obtained in step (ii) with a compound of formula (V) or a salt or solvate thereof: (V), in: R 6 It is H or (C1-C8) alkyl; A is a spacer; and PG is a protecting group; and (iv) React the product obtained in step (iii) with an oxidizing agent to obtain a compound of formula (I) or a salt or solvation thereof: (I), in: It is a three-key; or It is a double bond; V It does not exist when it is a triple bond; or V When it is a double bond, it is H or (C1-C8) alkyl; X when When it is a three-key ;or X when When it is a double bond ; R 1 It is either an optional substituted aliphatic residue or an optional substituted aromatic residue; R 3 Selected from H, -Si(R) Si )3 and (C1-C8) alkyl, wherein R Si Each is independently a (C1-C8) alkyl group; R 4 It is H or (C1-C8) alkyl; R 5 It is H or (C1-C8) alkyl; R 6 It is H or (C1-C8) alkyl; A is a spacer; and PG is a protecting group.
[0050] As an initial advantage, the method of the present invention allows for the preparation of phosphonamide esters without the need for the use of azides; see also Examples 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 below. Therefore, by using the method of the present invention, phosphonamide esters can be synthesized without the explosion hazards associated with the preparation, use, and storage of azides. Furthermore, it has been found that the method for preparing phosphonamide esters described herein allows for the use of substantially equimolar amounts or about only one molar equivalent of an alcohol of formula (III) based on, for example, formula (VIII) or formula (VI); see also Examples 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. In contrast, the Staudinger pathway requires at least two molar equivalents of alcohol to prepare phosphonamide esters; see also Comparative Examples A and B. This can be explained by the above reaction scheme showing the reaction sequence with possible intermediates; see, for example, step (iii) in the above reaction scheme, where one molar equivalent of alcohol (III) and one molar equivalent of intermediate (IV) can react with each other to give intermediate (II). Therefore, compared to the Staudinger pathway, the method of the present invention allows for a reduction in the amount of alcohol required to prepare phosphonamide esters. Consequently, the method of the present invention also allows for a reduction in the amount of waste and / or the additional effort required for re-separation, recycling, and / or disposal of excess alcohol. This is particularly advantageous when alcohols are precious, such as when alcohols are difficult to prepare or expensive. As another advantage, the inventors can demonstrate that, compared to the Staudinger pathway, the method of the present invention allows for an increase in the yield of the prepared phosphonamide esters; see Example 3 and Comparative Example A, and Example 4 and Comparative Example B. Furthermore, compared to the Staudinger pathway, the method of the present invention allows for the preparation of phosphonamide esters with significantly shorter reaction times; see the total combined reaction times of Example 1 (the general procedure of Example 1 is applied to Examples 2 and 3), Examples 4, 5, 6, and 7 compared to Comparative Example A and Comparative Example B. As a particular advantage regarding potential industrial applications, the method of the present invention has been found to have good scalability and can be used in an excellent manner for the large-scale synthesis of phosphonamide esters; see Examples 6 and 7. In summary, the method of the present invention allows for the safe and efficient synthesis of phosphonamide esters.
[0051] As described herein, the present invention relates to various methods for preparing compounds of formula (I), differing particularly in the order of the starting materials (e.g., compounds of formula (VIII) or formula (VI)) and the substitution reactions in steps (ii) and (iii). In a preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to a method for preparing compounds of formula (I), the method comprising step (i) wherein a compound of formula (VIII) is used as a starting material, step (ii) is reacting the product obtained in step (i) with a compound of formula (V), step (iii) is reacting the product obtained in step (ii) with a compound of formula (III), and step (iv) is reacting the product obtained in step (iii) with an oxidizing agent to obtain a compound of formula (I). The inventors have found that the method for preparing compounds of formula (I) using such a starting material and the order of steps (i) to (iv) results in particularly good product yields and purity, as well as excellent scalability of the method. In particular, when the group R 1 When the unit is polyethylene glycol as described herein, this preferred method yields good results.

The leaving group LG can be any leaving group as described herein; preferably, LG can be selected from chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and iodine (I). Without wishing to be bound by any theory, it is assumed that in step (i*), the intermediate (VI) as described herein can be formed by an electrochemical reaction via a mechanism involving a group. The electrochemical reaction can be carried out, for example, by using an electrode (e.g., a metal electrode) immersed in a solution containing a compound of formula (VIII) and a compound of formula (VII*), as is known in the art.

Those skilled in the art will readily select a suitable salt. In some embodiments, the salt is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.

[0081] Typically, polydisperse polyethylene glycol (PEG), monodisperse PEG, and discrete PEG can be used in polyethylene glycol units. Polydisperse PEGs are heterogeneous mixtures of sizes and molecular weights, while monodisperse PEGs are typically purified from heterogeneous mixtures and thus provide a single chain length and molecular weight. Preferred PEG units are discrete PEGs, i.e., compounds synthesized in a stepwise manner rather than via polymerization. Discrete PEGs provide single molecules with defined and specified chain lengths.
[0082] The polyethylene glycol unit provided herein comprises one or more polyethylene glycol chains. The polyethylene glycol chains may be linked together, for example, in a linear, branched, or star configuration. Optionally, at least one of the polyethylene glycol chains may be derivatized at one end to covalently attach to an oxygen atom bonded to phosphorus.
[0083] The polyethylene glycol (PEG) unit will attach to the phosphorus-bonded oxygen atom. Another end (or multiple ends) of the PEG unit will be free and untethered, and may take the form of hydrogen, methoxy, carboxylic acid, alcohol, or other suitable functional groups, such as any end-capping group as described herein. The methoxy, carboxylic acid, alcohol, or other suitable functional group acts as a cap for the terminal PEG subunit of the PEG unit. Untethered means that the PEG unit will not attach to another portion at that untethered site. For embodiments in which the PEG unit comprises more than one PEG chain, the multiple PEG chains may be the same or different chemical portions (e.g., PEGs with different molecular weights or numbers of subunits). The multiple PEG chains attach to the phosphorus-bonded oxygen atom at a single attachment site. Those skilled in the art will understand that, in addition to containing repeating polyethylene glycol subunits, polyethylene glycol units may also contain non-polyethylene glycol materials (e.g., to promote coupling of multiple polyethylene glycol chains to each other or to oxygen atoms bonded to phosphorus). Non-polyethylene glycol materials refer to atoms in the polyethylene glycol unit that are not part of the repeating -CH2CH2O- subunit. In the embodiments provided herein, the polyethylene glycol unit may comprise two monomeric polyethylene glycol chains connected to each other via non-polyethylene glycol elements. In other embodiments provided herein, the polyethylene glycol unit may comprise two linear polyethylene glycol chains attached to a central core attached to an oxygen atom bonded to phosphorus (i.e., the polyethylene glycol unit is branched).

[0112] There are no particular limitations on the temperature at which the methods described herein are carried out. Those skilled in the art will know that one or more suitable temperatures are selected to perform the steps of the methods described herein. For example, in any of the methods described herein, step (i) using an organometallic reagent can be performed at a temperature of -80ºC to +60ºC. Specifically, in any of the methods described herein, step (i) can be performed at a temperature of -20ºC to +60ºC.

A suitable reaction time is also readily selected or determined by those skilled in the art. Methods for monitoring the progress of one or more reactions (e.g., chromatography or spectroscopy) are known in the art.
[0113] Preferably, any method described herein for preparing a compound of formula (I) can be carried out as a one-pot process. In particular, any method described herein comprising steps (i) to (iv) for preparing a compound of formula (I) (wherein a compound of formula (VIII) is used as a starting material) can be carried out as a one-pot process. It is also possible to carry out as a one-pot process any method described herein comprising steps (ii) to (iv) for preparing a compound of formula (I), where a compound of formula (VI) is used as a starting material. As used herein, the term "one-pot process" generally refers to a method for preparing a compound of formula (I) in which all steps (i) to (iv), or depending on the appropriate method, are carried out without post-treatment, separation, and / or purification of intermediates. Thus, the term "one-pot process" includes, for example, adding reactants to a reaction mixture, adjusting different temperatures as needed, and / or also filtering the reaction mixture, provided that the reaction mixture does not undergo post-treatment, separation, and / or purification of intermediates between steps. In this regard, the term "one-pot process" also includes the removal and / or exchange of solvent, provided that the non-volatile intermediates, reactants, and / or impurities remain together in the reaction mixture, i.e., the mixture does not undergo post-treatment, separation, and / or purification of the intermediates between steps. Thus, during a one-pot process, the solvent can be removed, for example, by vacuum evaporation. It is also possible that another solvent can be added after solvent removal, provided that the reaction mixture does not undergo post-treatment, separation, and / or purification. In particular, when the solvent is removed and / or exchanged, the reaction mixture containing the intermediates, reactants, and / or impurities can remain in the reaction vessel. All steps (i) through (iv) can be carried out, for example, in the same reaction vessel. Step (v) may also be included in the one-pot process when, as described herein, any of the methods further includes step (v) to provide a compound of formula (I*). Thus, in some embodiments, any method as described herein that includes steps (i) through (v) for the preparation of a compound of formula (I*) (where a compound of formula (VIII) is used as a starting material) can be carried out as a one-pot process. In some embodiments, any method for preparing a compound of formula (I*) including steps (ii) to (v) as described herein (where a compound of formula (VI) is used as a starting material) may be carried out as a one-pot process. However, in contrast to a one-pot process, it is also possible to carry out any of the methods described herein, including steps (i) to (iv), or steps (ii) to (iv), or steps (i) to (v) or steps (ii) to (v) as a series of one or more separate stages, wherein the reaction mixture undergoes post-treatment, separation, and / or purification of one or more intermediates between at least two steps.
[0114] Preferably, in any of the methods described herein, particularly steps (i) to (iv), steps are carried out under an inert gas atmosphere. More preferably, in any of the methods described herein, particularly steps (i) to (iv), steps are carried out under nitrogen or argon.
