Description

Government support statement

[0001] This invention was made with Government support under Award No. W81XWH-16-1-0719 awarded by the United States Department of Defense under the Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program. The Government has certain rights in this invention. CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 790,340, filed January 9, 2019, which is incorporated herein by reference. [Technical field]

[0003] The present invention relates to a stereochemically defined synthesis for producing 1,6-diazabicyclo[6.2.0]decane. [Background technology]

[0004] Malaria is an infectious disease caused by parasitic protozoa of the genus Plasmodium. Eradication of malaria has been difficult due to the complex life cycle of Plasmodium and the emergence of parasite resistance. Diversity-directed synthesis (DOS) has been used to identify antimalarial compounds. For example, the phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitor BRD7929 has been identified. BRD7929 exhibits activity in all stages of the parasite life cycle.

[0005] BRD7929, which has the chemical name (8R,9S,10S)-10-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-9-[4-(2-phenylethynyl)phenyl]-1,6-diazabicyclo[6.2.0]decane-6-carboxamide, has been reported in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2016 / 0289235, which is incorporated herein by reference. BRD7929 has the following structure: [ka]

[0006] Similarly, a compound represented by the following structure (Formula XIV, or compound 22) has also been identified as useful in the treatment and / or prevention of diseases transmitted by parasites, including malaria and cryptosporidiosis: [ka] See WO 2018 / 175385, which is relied upon and incorporated in its entirety herein.

[0007] Moreover, additional related compounds and their syntheses described as useful in therapies to combat parasitic diseases, including, for example, malaria and cryptosporidiosis, are described in WO 2018 / 175385; Lowe, J. T. et al., Synthesis and profiling of a diverse collection of azetidine-based scaffolds for the development of CNS-focused lead-like libraries, J. Org. Chem. 77, 7187-7211 (2012); Maetani, M. et al., Synthesis of a Bicyclic Azetidine with In Vivo Antimalarial Activity Enabled by Stereospecific, Directed C(sp 3 )-H Arylation, JACS139, 11300-11306 (2017); and Kato, N. et al., Diversity-oriented synthesis yields novel multistage antimalarial inhibitors, Nature 538, 344-349 (2016), all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.

[0008] Additional references related to the preparation and treatment of compounds for parasitic diseases include the following: WO2015070204, WO2015002755, WO2016172631, and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2018 / 0194768, all of which are relied upon herein and incorporated by reference in their entireties.

[0009] However, long, low-yielding and / or costly synthetic routes limit the usefulness of these compounds. While BRD7929, Formula XIV and related compounds are known to have therapeutic value, improved synthetic routes to their production could simultaneously provide for further medicinal chemistry exploration of this class of compounds and reduce their cost of production, thereby making the development and / or widespread delivery of these therapeutics more feasible. Thus, there is a need for improved syntheses to make these potential antimalarial compounds. Summary of the Invention

[0090] Thionyl chloride (176 mL, 2422 mmol) was added dropwise to a white suspension of 4-bromocinnamic acid (500 g, 2202 mmol) in methanol (3000 mL) over 20 min, during which the reaction temperature remained below 40° C. The mixture was then heated to reflux for 1 h, during which time the mixture became homogeneous. The solution was allowed to slowly come to room temperature, giving a white suspension. The suspension was filtered and the filter cake was washed twice with cold methanol to give 1 as a white solid. The filtrate was concentrated to half the original volume, filtered again, and the filter cake was washed with cold methanol.
