Abstract
Description
A novel cyclic allene precursor and a method for preparing the same using a chiral auxiliary agent
[0001] The present invention relates to a novel cyclic allene precursor and a method for preparing the same using a chiral auxiliary agent.
[0002] Allene is a structure containing two consecutive double bonds (C=C), characterized by orthogonal π orbitals that can form unique chirality. This chirality plays a crucial role in asymmetric synthesis and the synthesis of complex compounds. Therefore, allene has long been of interest in natural product synthesis and organic chemistry research. In particular, allene's structural characteristics offer chemical uniqueness not found in existing compounds.
[0003] Among these, cyclic allene refers to a compound with a ring structure and a narrower internal angle around the central carbon than linear allene. This structural feature exhibits high reactivity due to ring strain and possesses unique chemical properties with non-orthogonal twisting of π orbitals. This unique structure can be useful for stereochemical synthesis based on chirality or for constructing complex molecular structures. However, due to the high ring strain energy, cyclic allene is difficult to exist alone and is usually produced from precursor forms.
[0004] In particular, chiral cyclic allenes can exhibit highly useful reactivity in asymmetric synthesis due to the non-orthogonality of their π orbitals and structural distortion. This can serve as a valuable tool in the synthesis of natural products or stereochemically complex compounds. However, the preparation of these compounds typically requires high costs and complex experimental conditions, making mass production difficult. Therefore, the development of a more efficient and economical technique for preparing chiral cyclic allenes is necessary.
[0005] Meanwhile, a chiral auxiliary agent is a compound introduced to induce reaction selectivity in an asymmetric reaction of a specific compound. These auxiliary agents have the advantage of being removable or recyclable after the reaction and serve as important tools for the economical and selective synthesis of chiral compounds. In particular, the use of chiral auxiliary agents offers the potential to reduce the cost and complexity of conventional chiral separation processes.
[0006] The development of precursors for producing chiral cyclic allenes is crucial because these precursors can control the reactivity of cyclic allenes and enable stereochemically complex synthetic pathways. Specifically, efficiently designed precursors enable not only mass production but also highly selective reactions, increasing their potential for use in diverse applications, including synthetic chemistry and drug development. Furthermore, precursor design utilizing chiral auxiliaries has the potential to improve the economic efficiency of existing processes and reduce their environmental impact.
[0007] The present invention aims to alleviate the complexity of existing synthetic processes and enhance stereochemical precision through an economical and selective manufacturing method. Furthermore, by expanding the potential for mass production of cyclic allene precursors, it can contribute to increasing the utility of subsequent chemical reactions, such as stereoconservative reactions. This offers the potential to improve efficiency and accessibility in diverse application areas, such as natural product synthesis, drug development, and the production of high-value-added compounds.

[0098] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. The present invention may be modified in various ways and may take various forms. Therefore, specific embodiments are illustrated in the drawings and described in detail in the text. However, this is not intended to limit the present invention to a specific disclosed form, but should be understood to include all modifications, equivalents, and substitutes included in the spirit and technical scope of the present invention. In describing each drawing, similar reference numerals are used to indicate similar components. In the attached drawings, the dimensions of structures are shown larger than actual size to ensure clarity of the present invention.
[0099] The terminology used in this application is only used to describe specific embodiments and is not intended to limit the present invention. The singular expression includes plural expression unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this application, it should be understood that the terms "comprise" or "have" are intended to specify the presence of a feature, number, step, operation, component, or combination thereof described in the specification, but do not exclude in advance the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, components, or combinations thereof. In the context of this specification, the term "about" or the like can mean about ± 1%, about ± 2%, about ± 3%, about ± 4%, about ± 5%, about ± 6%, about ± 7%, about ± 8%, about ± 9%, or about ± 10% of a numerical value described in the specification.
[0100] Additionally, the description of one aspect of the present invention may be applied identically or similarly to the same or similar configurations or terms in the description of other aspects.
[0101] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. Terms defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant technology, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless explicitly defined herein.
[0102] The cyclic allene precursor according to an embodiment of the present invention has a double bond at the first and second positions, a leaving group -Z can be bonded to the second position, and -SiR3 can be bonded to the third position.
[0103] In the context of this specification, the term "allene" refers to a compound with a cumulene structure containing two consecutive double bonds. This structure is characterized by orthogonal π orbitals around the central carbon atom, which can induce unique chirality. These structural characteristics make allene compounds potentially useful in asymmetric synthesis or the synthesis of complex compounds.
[0104] In the context of this specification, the term "cyclic" or "cyclic material" refers to a compound that forms a ring structure. This may include not only the structural characteristics of a simple ring-shaped backbone, but also unique chemical or physical properties resulting from the ring structure. For example, cyclic materials may exhibit higher reactivity, specific stereochemical control, or unique reaction mechanisms compared to linear compounds.
[0105] In the context of this specification, the term "precursor" refers to a starting material used to produce a target compound in a subsequent reaction. This means that a precursor not only serves as an intermediate for the reaction, but the structure and properties of the compound can also play a crucial role in determining the selectivity and efficiency of the subsequent reaction. Therefore, a precursor can be understood as a starting material with the potential to promote a subsequent reaction or control the reaction pathway.
[0106] In the context of this specification, the term "n-th position" refers to a specific, relatively defined position along the ring skeleton. This numbering is simply based on adjacency or bonding relationships and is independent of any atomic arrangement or numbering scheme defined externally to this specification. For example, "position 1" and "position 2" may refer to two adjacent positions, while "position 3" may refer to a position opposite position 1 and connected to position 2.
[0107] In the context of this specification, the term "leaving group" refers to a functional group that can be separated at a specific position during a subsequent reaction of a precursor. This group is separated or removed depending on the reaction conditions, and the leaving process itself can determine the efficiency or selectivity of the subsequent chemical transformation. However, the leaving group itself does not limit the scope of the present invention or be limited to a specific function, and can be understood as a part of the precursor.
[0108] Here, the leaving group -Z is -F, -Cl, -Br, -I, -N2 + , -OSO2(alkyl), -OSO2(aryl), -OSO2CF3, -OCO(alkyl), -OCO(aryl), -O(alkyl), -O(aryl), -OH, -SCN, -I + (aryl) X - (X is Cl, Br or I), -Br + (aryl) X - (X may be one selected from the group containing Cl, Br or I).
[0109] Here, the -SiR3 may be one selected from the group including -Si(alkyl)3, -Si(alkyl)2(aryl), -Si(alkyl)(aryl)2, -Si(aryl)3, -Si(H)2(alkyl), -Si(H)(alkyl)2, -Si(H)2(aryl), -Si(H)(aryl)2, -Si(H)(alkyl)(aryl).
[0110] In one embodiment, the third position may be a chiral position. In the context of this specification, the term "chiral position" refers to a structural feature in which the entire molecule has mirror-image asymmetry due to a substituent bonded to a specific position or a chemical environment. This means that the arrangement of the substituents present at that position can determine the stereochemical properties of the molecule, i.e., optical activity or stereochemical selectivity. The chiral position can play an important role in forming a specific stereoisomer in a subsequent reaction or in controlling the selectivity of the reaction.
[0111] In one embodiment, the cyclic allene precursor may have an enantiomeric excess that is not 0%. In the context of this specification, the term enantiomeric excess refers to a ratiometric measure of how much more one enantiomer is present relative to the other enantiomer. This can be an indicator of the optical purity of a molecule. Therefore, a value other than 0% indicates that a particular enantiomer is predominantly present relative to the other enantiomer. This may indicate that an asymmetric reaction occurred during the synthesis, or conditions were applied to selectively produce a particular stereoisomer.
[0112] In one embodiment, the cyclic allene precursor may have a hexagonal ring. Hexagonal rings typically have internal angles close to 120 degrees, forming ideal bond angles. Therefore, they are likely to exhibit relatively low ring strain compared to other cyclic structures. This structural feature may contribute to enhancing reaction selectivity or promoting specific reaction pathways. Furthermore, hexagonal rings are a common structure in natural product synthesis and drug development, which may help expand the applicability of the present invention to various chemical or biological fields.
[0113] In one embodiment, the 4th or 5th position of the cyclic allene precursor may be one selected from the group consisting of CH2, N, O, and SO2 bonded to a protecting group. Here, the meaning of the 4th or 5th position being an element or group may mean that the element constituting the skeleton of the ring itself is the element or group. On the other hand, the meaning of the 4th or 5th position being a group may mean that one of the elements constituting the group is an element constituting the skeleton of the ring itself. That is, the 4th or 5th position may be C, N, O, or S, and further, the 4th and 5th positions may each independently be C, N, O, or S.
[0114] In the context of this specification, the term "protecting group" refers to a chemical substituent introduced to temporarily deactivate or protect a specific functional group during a chemical reaction. This can be used to prevent a specific functional group from undergoing undesirable side reactions under reaction conditions or to selectively induce reactions in other parts.
[0115] Here, the protecting group may be one selected from the group consisting of -(alkyl), -(aryl), -CO(alkyl), -CO(aryl), -COO(alkyl), -COO(aryl), -SO2(alkyl), and -SO2(aryl). For example, protecting groups such as Boc(t-butoxycarbonyl), Fmoc(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl), Cbz(benzyloxycarbonyl), Benzyl, 2-Nosyl(2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl), 4-Nosyl(4-nitrobenzenesulfonyl), Moc(methoxycarbonyl), 1-Naphthyl, or 4-Nitrobenzoyl may be included.
[0116] In the context of this specification, the meaning of alkyl refers to a straight, branched, or cyclic hydrocarbon chain composed solely of carbon and hydrogen. It has a structure connected by single bonds and can include substituents ranging from simple structures such as methyl, ethyl, and propyl to more complex structures. In the context of this specification, the meaning of aryl refers to a hydrocarbon substituent containing one or more aromatic rings. This can include a single aromatic ring structure such as benzene or a multiple aromatic ring structure such as naphthalene.
[0117] In one embodiment, a substituent Y may be additionally bonded to at least one of the first, fifth, and sixth positions of the cyclic allene precursor. In the context of the present specification, the term "substituent" refers to an atom or functional group that replaces or additionally bonds an existing atom or group in the basic skeleton of a specific compound. A substituent can change the chemical and physical properties of a molecule, and can affect reactivity, stereochemical properties, electronic properties, etc. For example, a substituent has the potential to induce a specific reaction pathway or increase selectivity under reaction conditions.
[0118] Here, the substituent Y may be one selected from the group consisting of -H, -(alkyl), -(aryl), -F, -Cl, -Br, -I, -CF3, -NO2, -CN, -CO2H, -COO(alkyl), -COO(aryl), -O(alkyl), -O(aryl), -OH, -NH2, -NH(alkyl), -NH(aryl), -N(alkyl)2, -N(aryl)2, -SO2(alkyl), -SO2(aryl), -S(alkyl), -S(aryl), and -PO4H2. These substituents may contribute to adjusting the chemical and physical properties of the cyclic allene precursor or controlling the reactivity in subsequent reactions.
[0119] In one embodiment, the cyclic allene precursor may have a chemical formula (S1), (S2), (S3), (S4), (S5), (S6), (R1), (R2), (R3), (R4), (R5), or (R6).

[0132] Here, X may be one selected from the group comprising CH2, N, O, and SO2 to which a protecting group is bonded. Here, the protecting group may be one selected from the group comprising -(alkyl), -(aryl), -CO(alkyl), -CO(aryl), -COO(alkyl), -COO(aryl), -SO2(alkyl), and -SO2(aryl). Here, the substituent Y may be one selected from the group including -H, -(alkyl), -(aryl), -F, -Cl, -Br, -I, -CF3, -NO2, -CN, -CO2H, -COO(alkyl), -COO(aryl), -O(alkyl), -O(aryl), -OH, -NH2, -NH(alkyl), -NH(aryl), -N(alkyl)2, -N(aryl)2, -SO2(alkyl), -SO2(aryl), -S(alkyl), -S(aryl), and -PO4H2.
[0133] Meanwhile, a method for producing a cyclic allene precursor according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a hydrazone bonding step of reacting a chiral auxiliary agent having the following chemical formula (CA) with a raw material that is a cyclic compound having a carbonyl bond (C=O) at the second position to form a hydrazone bond (C=NNR2) at the second position; a silylation step of performing silylation at the third position to bond -SiR3; a hydrazone decomposition step of decomposing the hydrazone bond at the second position to form a ketone group at the second position; and a leaving group conversion step of converting the functional group bonded at the second position to a leaving group Z.

[0138] Here, the leaving group -Z is -F, -Cl, -Br, -I, -N2+, -OSO2(alkyl), -OSO2(aryl), -OSO2CF3, -OCO(alkyl), -OCO(aryl), -O(alkyl), -O(aryl), -OH, -SCN, -I + (aryl) X - (X is Cl, Br or I), -Br + (aryl) X - (X may be one selected from the group containing Cl, Br or I).
