Summary

Here we present a protocol to demonstrate an efficient method for the synthesis of spirocyclic heterocycles. The five-step process utilizes solid-phase synthesis and regenerating Michael linker strategies. Generally difficult to synthesize, we present a customizable method for the synthesis of spirocyclic molecules otherwise inaccessible to other modern approaches.

Abstract

A convenient synthetic route for spirocyclic heterocycles is well sought after due to the molecule's potential use in biological systems. By means of solid-phase synthesis, regenerating Michael (REM) linker strategies, and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, a library of structurally similar heterocycles, both with and without a spirocyclic center, can be constructed. The main advantages of the solid-support synthesis are as follows: first, each reaction step can be driven to completion using a large excess of reagents resulting in high yields; next, the use of commercially available starting materials and reagents keep the costs low; finally, the reaction steps are easy to purify via simple filtration. The REM linker strategy is attractive because of its recyclability and traceless nature. Once a reaction scheme is completed, the linker can be reused multiple times. In a typical solid-phase synthesis, the product contains either a part of or the whole linker, which can prove undesirable. The REM linker is "traceless" and the point of attachment between the product and the polymer is indistinguishable. The high diastereoselectivity of the intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition is well documented. Limited by the insolubility of the solid support, the reaction progression can only be monitored by a change in the functional groups (if any) via infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Thus, the structural identification of intermediates cannot be characterized by conventional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Other limitations to this method stem from the compatibilities of the polymer/linker to the desired chemical reaction scheme. Herein we report a protocol that allows for the convenient production of spirocyclic heterocycles that, with simple modifications, can be automated with high-throughput techniques.

Introduction

Despite recent discoveries using highly-functionalized spirocyclic heterocycles in a number of biological systems¹, a convenient pathway is still necessary for their easy manufacture. Such systems and uses for these heterocycles include: MDM2 inhibition and other anticancer activities²^,³^,⁴^,⁵, enzyme inhibition⁶^,⁷^,⁸, antibiotic activity⁹^,¹⁰, fluorescent tagging¹⁰^,¹¹^,¹², enantioselective binding for DNA probes¹³^,¹⁴^,¹⁵ and RNA targeting¹⁶, along with numerous potential applications to therapeutics¹⁷^,¹⁸^,¹⁹. With an increasing demand for these heterocycles, current literature remains divided about which synthetic pathway is best. Modern synthetic approaches to this problem use isatin and isatin derivatives as starting materials for a variety of heterocycles²⁰^,²¹, complicated intramolecular rearrangements²²^,²³^,²⁴^,²⁵, Lewis acid¹^,²⁶^,²⁷ or transition metal catalysis¹⁷^,²⁸^,²⁹^,³⁰, or asymmetric processes³¹. While these procedures have had success in producing specific spirocyclic oximes with limited functionality, a synthetic strategy for producing a library of molecules with high diastereoselectivity has been explored relatively less³².

The technique presented here shows that these molecules of interest can be generated using a number of well-understood synthetic techniques in tandem. Starting with the synthesis of the molecule on a solid support using a REM linker and intramolecular silyl nitronate-olefin cycloaddition (ISOC), the proposed pathway deploys a nonlinear route, characterized by bond severing in a tricyclic system, leaving a highly functionalized heterocycle. REM linkers, known for their convenience and recyclability, utilize a solid support to synthesize tertiary amines³³. Due to the ease of purification accredited to the REM linker via simple filtration, this solid-phase synthesis technique provides scientists with a recyclable and traceless linker, which has been used here. Once the reaction is complete, the REM linker is regenerated and can be reused multiple times. The REM linker is also traceless because, unlike many solid-phase linkers, the point of attachment between the product and the polymer is indistinguishable³⁴^,³⁵. Also well-studied and understood is the ISOC reaction, useful in the synthesis of pyrrolidine oximes³⁶^,³⁷. Perhaps better known as a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, these reactions form a number of heterocycles with high diastereoselectivity³⁸^,³⁹^,⁴⁰^,⁴¹^,⁴²^,⁴³^,⁴⁴^,⁴⁵. Using the modified REM-coupled-ISOC technique for the synthesis of spirocyclic molecules yields a highly diastereoselective product.Herein, we report on the efficient production of spirocyclic oximes using a new synthetic approach, combining two well-understood pathways and readily available starting materials.

Representative Results

As outlined in the procedure above, the synthetic route to spirocyclic oximes (see Figure 1) begins with the Michael addition of furfurylamine to compound 1, the REM linker, to afford 2. A subsequent Michael addition and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the support 2 using various β-nitrostyrene derivatives yield the tricyclic compound 3, an N-silyloxy isoxazolidine with four unique stereogenic centers. Desilylation of 3 with TBAF produces the spirocyclic oxime 4, still bound to the solid-phase linker. Following the desilylation of 3, polymer-bound 4 is N-alkylated with various electrophiles of choice yielding an ammonium salt, as seen with compound 5. Finally, using β-elimination for the cleavage from the polymer support, compound 6 is generated, along with the fully intact REM linker 1. A library of spirocyclic molecules can be created and purified with ease based on the choice of R₁, the β-nitrostyrene, and R₂, the electrophiles used in N-alkylation.

For monitoring the progress of each reaction step shown in Figure 1, IR spectroscopy was done on the starting REM resin 1 and on each of the polymer-bound intermediates 2 – 5 to determine whether or not each step had proceeded to completion. These could be classified with a change in the functional group, including conjugated or unconjugated esters, trimethylsilyls, hydroxyls, and oximes, corresponding to a change in wavenumbers as shown in Table 1. NMR analysis was not used to monitor the progress of each step since the intermediates formed are bound to the insoluble polymer support. Corresponding diastereoselective ratios (dr) and yields of the six products 6a – 6f are depicted in Table 2. The yields between 40% and 53% are the overall yields which highlight an average, high yield of between 80% and 88% per step in this five-step route. ¹H NMR analysis of the crude product mixture provided the dr values reported.

Discussion

In a typical REM linker/solid-phase synthetic strategy, prior to the release of an amine from the solid support, it is critical to form a quaternary ammonium salt, as described in section 4 of the protocol³⁹. Due to the steric hindrance of the tricyclic system and bulky R₂ groups (benzyl and octyl halides), only small alkylating reagents (methyl and allyl halides) could be utilized in this reaction⁴⁶. With a simple modification, allowing for the addition and use of larger, steric reagents, the rigidity of the tricyclic structure was decreased before the N-alkylation step by opening the isoxazoline ring first³². This is illustrated in Figure 1. The ring opening of the tricyclic intermediate 3 relieves the steric hindrance which allows for the addition of virtually any primary alkyl halide desired.

This method was successful in reporting some of the highest dr values in the synthesis of spirocyclic compounds³⁰^,⁴⁷^,⁴⁸. Success in the diastereoselectivity is attributed to the ISOC reaction, which takes the furfurylamine moiety of 2 and creates the rigid, tricyclic system of 3³⁸^,³⁹^,⁴⁰. Further steps, such as the breaking of the tricyclic system, conserve the diastereoselective nature of the molecule, affording the scientist, in the end, with compounds at or above diastereoselective ratios of 95:5. Equally important is the customizability of the method: with modified β-nitrostyrene derivatives and other electrophiles for N-alkylation, a large library of molecules can be made with relative ease.

To conclude, a highly diastereoselective protocol for the construction of highly functionalized, spirocyclic molecules using a new REM-coupled-ISOC pathway has been developed. This pathway yields a rigid, tricyclic scaffold from the ISOC reaction, from which diastereoselectivity is conserved throughout the remaining reactions. The availability of β-nitrostyrene derivatives and alkylating reagents makes the route convenient and cost-effective. However, should they not be available for purchase, the synthesis of such reagents would be required. This is one such limitation of the method, another being the size of the cycles. As of now, the proposed method is suitable for the construction of a [4.4] spirocyclic framework. Limitations in the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition method prevent the formation of other ring sizes.

We are in the process of testing the recyclability of the REM linker used in the protocol presented here and will report this shortly. In addition, future applications of the proposed method will be put to use in a number of biological assays. A high-throughput combinatorial synthesis of these spirocyclic molecules using this method can afford a large number of spirocyclic derivatives, which can be tested for anticancer activities in human cancer cells. Such tests will involve cytotoxicity assays, pull-down experiments, and cell culture viability.
