The intermediate chiral aldehyde (XIV) has been obtained as follows: Acylation of sarcosine methyl ester (II) with 3,5-dichlorobenzoyl chloride (I) provides the N-benzoyl aminoester (III). The dilithium derivative of 3,4-dichlorophenylacetic acid (IV) is condensed with ester (III) to furnish, after acidic work-up, the N-benzoyl amino ketone (V). Subsequent alkylation of (V) with 1-bromo-3-methyl-2-butene (VI) affords (VII). Treatment of ketone (VII) with hydroxylamine yields a mixture of E- and Z- oximes, from which the Z-isomer (VIII) is isolated by column chromatography. Resolution of racemic (VIII) is then accomplished by two procedures. Coupling of (VIII) with N-Boc-D-phenylglycine (IX) produces a diastereomeric mixture of O-acyl oximes, from which isomer (X) can be separated by recrystallization. Hydrazinolysis of the N-acyl oxime (X) furnishes the target (R)-enantiomer (XI). Alternatively, oxime (VIII) is acylated by pivaloyl chloride, and subsequently separated into enantiomers by means of chiral chromatography. The desired isomer (XII) is then subjected to hydrazinolysis, yielding (XI)
Alkylation of oxime (XI) with iodomethane in the presence of NaH provides the O-methyl oxime (XIII). Then, ozonolytic cleavage of the dimethylallyl group of (XIII), followed by reductive treatment with dimethylsulfide leads to aldehyde (XIV)
3-(Carbomethoxy)propionyl chloride (XV) is condensed with the chiral oxazolidine (XVI) to provide (XVII). Titanium-catalyzed Michael addition of acrylonitrile to the N-acyl oxazolidine (XVII) affords nitrile (XVIII), which is reduced to the primary amine (XIX) by catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of PtO2. Reductive alkylation of amine (XIX) with N-Boc-4-piperidone (XX) gives rise to the aminopiperidine (XXI). This is then cyclized to the piperidinyl piperidone (XXII) upon heating in acetonitrile. After alkaline hydrolysis of the methyl ester group of (XXII), coupling of the resultant acid (XXIII) with methylamine gives rise to the corresponding amide (XXIV). The N-Boc protecting group of (XXIV) is then removed by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid to furnish piperidine (XXV)
The title compound is obtained by reductive condensation between the chiral intermediate aldehyde (XIV) and piperidine (XXV) in the presence of NaBH(OAc)3 in trifluoroethanol
Acylation of 4-amino-1-benzylpiperidine (X) with 5-chloropentanoyl chloride (XI) gives the chloro amide (XII), which is further cyclized to the 2-piperidone (XIII) in the presence of NaH. Replacement of the N-benzyl (XIII) for a N-Boc (XIV) protecting group is then accomplished by catalytic hydrogenolysis in the presence of Boc2O (1,2). Alkylation of piperidone (XIV) with allyl bromide (XV) yields the racemic 3-allyl-2-piperidone (XVI), which is subjected to oxidative cleavage with RuO2/NaIO4, producing carboxylic acid (XVII). After coupling of acid (XVII) with methylamine, the resultant N-methyl amide (XVIII) is deprotected by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid to give piperidine (XIX)
Acylation of sarcosine methyl ester (I) with 3,5-dichlorobenzoyl chloride (II) produced the corresponding amide (III). Claisen condensation of (III) with the dianion of 3,4-dichlorophenylacetic acid (IV), generated in the presence of lithium hexamethyldisilazide, gave, after acid decarboxylation, ketone (V). The lithium enolate of ketone (V) was then alkylated with 1-bromo-3-methyl-2-butene (VI) to afford (VII). Treatment of ketone (VII) with hydroxylamine produced a geometric mixture of oximes from which the desired (E)-isomer (VIII) was isolated by column chromatography. Resolution of the racemic (VIII) was achieved by coupling with N-Boc-D-phenylglycine (IX) followed by fractional crystallization of the desired diastereoisomer (X). Hydrazinolysis of the oxime ester then furnished the chiral intermediate (XI).
An alternative procedure for the resolution of (VIII) consisted in the O-acylation of oxime group with pivaloyl chloride (XII) to give (XIII), which was resolved into enantiomers by means of chiral HPLC. Hydrazinolysis of the desired (R)-enantiomer provided (XI).
Oxime (XI) was O-methylated with methyl iodide and NaH to afford (XIV). Subsequent ozonolysis of the double bond of (XIV) generated aldehyde (XV).
Acylation of 4-amino-1-benzylpiperidine (XVI) with 5-chlorovaleryl chloride (XVII) yielded chloro amide (XVIII). This was cyclized to the piperidino piperidinone (XIX) by treatment with NaH in THF. Subsequent hydrogenolysis of the N-benzyl group of (XIX) furnished piperidine (XX). Finally, reductive alkylation of piperidine (XX) with aldehyde (XV) in the presence of sodium triacetoxyborohydride gave rise to the title compound.
Acylation of 4-amino-1-benzylpiperidine (I) with 5-chlorovaleryl chloride (II) affords amide (III). Intramolecular cyclization of the chlorovaleramide (III) in the presence of NaH leads to the bipiperidine compound (IV). The N-benzyl group of (IV) is then removed by catalytic hydrogenolysis to provide intermediate (V)
Claisen condensation between 3,4-dichlorophenylacetic acid (VI) and N-Boc-sarcosine methyl ester (VII), followed by acidic decarboxylation of the intermediate keto acid, furnishes amino ketone (VIII). Alkylation of (VIII) with the silylated bromoethanol (IX) in the presence of NaH and NaI yields adduct (X). Subsequent condensation of ketone (X) with O-allyl hydroxylamine (XI) generates the corresponding oxime (XII). After desilylation of (XII) with tetrabutylammonium fluoride, the resultant primary alcohol (XIII) is oxidized under Swern conditions to furnish aldehyde (XIV)
Reductive condensation between aldehyde (XIV) and the piperidine derivative (V) in the presence of NaBH3CN leads to the N-alkylated piperidine (XV). The N-Boc group of (XV) is cleaved under acidic conditions to afford amine (XVI), which is further acylated by 3,5-dichlorobenzoyl chloride (XVII), providing benzamide (XVIII). The oxime O-allyl group of (XVIII) is then removed by treatment with palladium tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) and triethylammonium formate, yielding oxime (XIX). This is subsequently alkylated with bromoacetonitrile and NaH, affording (XX)
Finally, addition of hydroxylamine to the nitrile (XX) under alkaline conditions provides the target N-hydroxy amidine derivative
In a different strategy, the racemic intermediate aldehyde (IX) has been obtained as follows: Swern oxidation of the known racemic alcohol (I) yields aldehyde (II), which is further reductively aminated with methylamine to produce the secondary amine (III). Acylation of amine (III) with 3,5-dichlorobenzoyl chloride (IV) leads to amide (V). Subsequent desilylation of (V) with HF in acetonitrile provides alcohol (VI). The thioketal group of (VI) is then removed by treatment with HgClO4 and CaCO3, yielding ketone (VII). Treatment of (VII) with O-methyl hydroxylamine, followed by separation of the resultant E-/Z- mixture of isomers furnishes the desired O-methyl oxime (VIII). The primary alcohol function of (VIII) is then oxidized under Swern conditions to provide aldehyde (IX)
Reductive condensation between racemic intermediate aldehyde (IX) and racemic piperidine (XIX) leads to a diastereoisomeric mixture of substituted piperidines, from which the target isomer is finally isolated through chiral chromatography
