LU Printed by Jouve, 75001 PARIS (FR) EP0 674 618 B1 Description The present invention relates to a stereospecific process for preparing florfenicol, thiamphenicol and chloramphen- icol having the correct relative and absolute stereochemistry from achiral starting materials. The present invention also 5 relates to a process for isomerizing the S,S-enantiomer of florfenicol to florfenicol having the proper R,S stereochem- istry. In addition, the present invention relates to a stereospecific process for preparing oxazoline intermediates useful in the synthesis of florfenicol, thiamphenicol, chloramphenicol, and related antibiotics. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 10 Florfenicol (I) is a broad spectrum antibiotic having activity against Gram positive, Gram negative and thiamphen- icol-resistant bacteria, as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,235,892. OH 40 I ^ o2n- ny o Several approaches to the synthesis of florfenicol have been reported, e.g. Tyson, Chem Ind., (1 988) pp. 1 1 8-1 22; so and U.S. 4,743,700. However, these processes typically suffer from low overall yields and require either a resolution step or expensive chiral starting materials. Schumacher et al., J. Org. Chem., 55, 18 (1990) pp. 5291-5294, describes a synthesis of florfenicol starting from a commercially available chiral starting material, e.g. compound (1). Compound (1) is converted to the oxazoline (2), to protect the secondary hydroxyl group, and (2) is converted to the fluoride (3). The oxazoline protecting group is 55 removed by treatment with acid and the resulting amino-alcohol (4) converted to florfenicol I. However, the Schumacher et al. process again requires the use of expensive chiral starting materials. 2 EP0 674 618 B1 I Clark et al., in Synthesis, (1991) pp. 891-894, disclose a process for the synthesis of florfenicol via the stereose- lective hydrolysis of ethyl D,L-f/ireo-3-(4-methylthiophenyl)-serinate hydrochloride (5) using enzymes to give (2S,3R)- 3-(4-methyl-thiophenyl)serine (7) and the unreacted ester ethyl (2R,3S)-3-(4-methyl-thiophenyl)serinate hydrochloride (6). The acid (7), and the ester (6), are then converted via alternative multi-step sequences to the R,R-oxazoline (2). Compound (2) is then converted to florfenicol by the process of Schumacher et al., described above. EP0 674 618 B1 CH3 ^"y^l NH-fHCl (5) COzCjJ-ls OH 10 15 CH3 NH2«Ha COzCzHs CO2H 20 OH (7) 25 30 \ (2) " OH V ' 35 CH3-SO2 The Clark et al. process, while avoiding the use of expensive chiral starting materials, is chemically inefficient, 40 producing a mixture of chiral ester (6) and acid (7) which must be separately converted to (2). Thus, the prior art does not teach a chemically efficient stereoselective process for the synthesis of florfenicol that avoids the use of expensive chiral precursors. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 45 The present invention comprises a process for the asymmetric synthesis of florfenicol, thiamphenicol or chloram- phenicol comprising the steps: (c) regioselectively opening a chiral epoxide of the formula 50 55 4 EP0 674 618 B1 wherein R is nitro or methanesulfonyl, by sequentially treating with a strong base, a Lewis acid and dichloroace- tonitrile to form an oxazoline of the formula OH 10 is wherein R is as defined above; (d) stereoselective inversion/isomerization of the oxazoline of step (c) by sequentially treating with: (i) a lower alkylsulfonyl chloride and a tertiary amine base; (ii) aqueous acid; and (iii) an alkali metal hydroxide; to form an oxazoline of the formula 20 25 30 wherein R is as defined above; and (e) either: 35 (i) wherein R is methanesulfonyl, treating the oxazoline of step (d) with a fluorinating agent, then hydrolyzing the oxazoline with acid to obtain florfenicol; or (ii) hydrolyzing the oxazoline of step (d) with acid to obtain: 40 (a) wherein R is methanesulfonyl, thiamphenicol; or (b) wherein R is nitro, chloramphenicol. Preferably the chiral epoxide of step (c) is prepared from a trans cinnamic acid derivative of the formula H O 50 55 wherein R is nitro or methanesulfonyl, by: (a) converting the acid to an acid chloride using a chlorinating agent, and reducing the acid chloride to a trans allylic alcohol with a reducing agent; 5 EP0 674 618 B1 (b) asymmetrically epoxidizing the allylic alcohol of step (a), by reacting with t-butylhydroperoxide in the presence of a chiral epoxidation catalyst prepared from titanium (IV) isopropoxide and L-diisopropyltartaric acid, to form the chiral epoxide of the formula 5 10 wherein R is as defined above. is Preferred is a process as described above wherein the chlorinating agent of step (a) isthionyl chloride, the reducing agent of step (a) is NaBH4, the lower alkylsulfonyl chloride of step (d) is MsCI, the tertiary amine base of step (d) is triethylamine, the aqueous acid of step (d) is sulfuric acid, the alkali metal hydroxide of step (d) is NaOH, the fluorinating agent of step (e) is CF3CH(F) 20 CF2N(C2H5)2, and the acid of step (e) is AcOH. More preferred is a process as described above wherein the strong base of step (c) is an alkali metal hydride, preferably sodium hydride, and the Lewis acid of step (c) is zinc chloride. In an alternative embodiment, the process of the instant invention comprises the isomerization of the S,S-isomer 25 of florfenicol to the R,S-isomer (I) by sequentially treating with: (i) a lower alkylsulfonyl chloride and a tertiary amine base; (ii) an alkali metal hydroxide; (iii) aqueous acid. In a third embodiment the process of present invention comprises a process for regioselectively opening an epoxide of the formula 30 35 wherein R1 is methanesulfonyl, nitro or hydrogen by sequentially treating with a strong base, a Lewis acid and dichlo- roacetonitrile to form a f/ireo-oxazoline of the formula 40 OH OH 45 50 respectively, wherein R1 is as defined above. The epoxide opening process can be carried out on chiral (as shown) or racemic starting materials. Where chiral starting materials are used the reaction is both regio- and stereo-selective, producing chiral oxazolines. Preferred is a process for preparing an oxazoline as described above wherein the strong base is an alkali metal 55 hydride, preferably sodium hydride, and the Lewis acid is zinc chloride. The process of the present invention does not suffer the shortcomings of the prior art processes. It is chemically efficient, proceeds in high yield, and avoids the problems of expensive chiral starting materials by utilizing a reusable chiral auxiliary to introduce optical activity. 6 EP0 674 618 B1 DETAILED DESCRIPTION As used herein: 5 "fluorinating agent" is a reagent or combination of reagents capable of converting a primary alcohol to the analogous fluoride. Preferred fluorinating agents include: a,a-difluoroalkylamine fluorinating agents disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,876,352, such as N-(1 ,1 ,2,3,3, 3-hexafluoropropyl)diethylamine; HF; phosphorous fluorides; 2-chloro- 1 ,1 ,2-trifluorotriethylamine; and inorganic fluoride, such as LiF, in a polyol solvent. Most preferred is N- (1 ,1 ,2,3,3,3-hexafluoropropyl)-diethylamine. 10 "lower alkyl" means a saturated hydrocarbon chain having from 1-6 carbon atoms, the chain being straight or branched; "alkali metal hydroxide" means sodium, lithium or potassium hydroxide, preferably NaOH; "strong base" means a strong nonaqueous base selected from the group consisting of alkali metal hydride, alkali metal alkoxide and lower alkyllithium; is "alkali metal hydride" means sodium, lithium or potassium hydride, preferably sodium hydride; "alkali metal alkoxide" means an alkali metal salt of a lower alkyl alcohol.

  • Halogenation Reagents
    Halogenation Reagents Halogenation is a basic and fundamental transformation in organic chemistry, and halogenated compounds are of extreme importance as building blocks in organic synthesis. The development of modern coupling reactions, such as the [P2140] Suzuki-Miyaura and Mizoroki-Heck reactions, have greatly increased the demand for halogenated compounds as starting materials. P2140 (2.3 eq.) On the other hand, introduction of fluorine into a certain position of bioactive compound such as a pharmaceutical and an agricultural chemical may remarkably reduce the toxicity of the compound, or improve the efficiency of medicine. This is due to the structurally mimic and blocking effect characterized by fluorine. P2140 (3 eq.) In response to this situation, a number of novel halogenation reagents have been developed. 4-tert-Butyl-2,6-dimethylphenylsulfur trifluoride (FLUOLEAD™) [B3664] is introduced as below: B3664 is a novel nucleophilic 1-Fluoro-3,3-dimethyl-1,2-benziodoxole [F0957] is a hypervalent fluorinating agent which was first reported by Umemoto et al.1) iodine derivative developed by Stuart et al.3) F0957 is stable to air Differing from other existing fluorinating agents, such as DAST, and moisture and used as an electrophilic fluorinating reagent for B3664 is a crystalline solid with high thermal stability and less a α-monofluorination of β-ketoesters in the presence of fuming character, which makes it easier to handle.

Academic Editors: Anna Carbone and Fabio Bertozzi Received: 2 March 2020; Accepted: 23 March 2020; Published: 31 March 2020 Abstract: Oxazole compounds, including one nitrogen atom and one oxygen atom in a five-membered heterocyclic ring, are present in various biological activities. Due to binding with a widespread spectrum of receptors and enzymes easily in biological systems through various non-covalent interactions, oxazole-based molecules are becoming a kind of significant heterocyclic nucleus, which have received attention from researchers globally, leading them to synthesize diverse oxazole derivatives. The van Leusen reaction, based on tosylmethylisocyanides (TosMICs), is one of the most appropriate strategies to prepare oxazole-based medicinal compounds. In this review, we summarize the recent advances of the synthesis of oxazole-containing molecules utilizing the van Leusen oxazole synthesis from 1972, aiming to look for potential oxazole-based medicinal compounds, which are valuable information for drug discovery and synthesis. Keywords: van Leusen; TosMICs; oxazole; synthesis 1. Introduction The oxazole ring, with one nitrogen atom and one oxygen atom, which are widely displayed in natural products and synthetic molecules, is known as a prime skeleton for drug discovery.

Phosphonopeptides generally contain one aminoalkylphosphonic acid residue and include phosphonopeptides with C-terminal aminoalkylphosphonic acids and phosphonopeptides with a phosphonamidate bond. The phosph- onamidate bond in the phosphonopeptides is generally formed via phosphonylation with phosphonochloridates, condensation with coupling reagents and enzymes, and phosphinylation followed by oxidation. Pseudo four-component condensation reaction of amides, aldehydes, alkyl dichlorophosphites, and amino/peptide esters is an alternative, convergent, and efficient strategy for synthesis of phosphonopeptides through simultaneous construction of aminoalkylphosphonic acids and formation of the phosphonamidate bond. This review focuses on the synthetic methods of phosphonopeptides containing a phosphonamidate bond. Keywords: phosphonamidate; phosphonopeptide; β-phosphonopeptide; γ-phosphonopeptide; peptide 1.

The salting out efficiency of a salt seems rather to be a function of its solubility in the water and in the alcohol, of the amount oi water with which it unites to form its lowest hydrate, and of the abilitv of the alcohol to replace the water of hydra- tioll. MINNEAPOLIS MINN iCONTRIBUTIOEa FROM THE CHEMICAL LABORATORYOF HARVARDUNIv&RSITY. 1 PHENYL ESTERS OF OXALIC ACID. BY ROGSRADAMS AND H. GU.HAN. Received August 12. 1915. Introduction. In the course of a research in this laboratory, we desired to use one of the substituted phenyl esters of oxalic acid. In reviewing the methods already available for the preparation of these substances, we found them to be few in number, limited in applicability and not suited to the prepara- tion of the particular compound wanted. Nencki' first prepared the phenyl ester of oxalic acid by boiling phosphorus oxychloride with an- hydrous oxalic acid and phenol. This method was extended by Bischoff2 to the preparation of substituted phenyl esters of oxalic acid, and was shown by him to work well with certain types of substituted phenols. With many phenyl derivatives, however, only small yields of esters could be thus produced, and in several cases the esters, if they were formed at all, could not be isolated from the reaction mixtures. Thus, e. g., the cresols, xylenols and carvacrol gave good results, thymol, p- and m-nitro- phenols gave very poor yields, while the desired products from the o-nitro- phenol, a- and &naphthols, could not be obtained.
