Conformational Restriction by Repulsion between Adjacent Substituents on a Cyclopropane Ring: Design and Enantioselective Synthesis of 1-Phenyl-2-(1-aminoalkyl)-N,N-diethylcyclopropanecarboxamides as Potent NMDA Receptor Antagonists
摘要:
Adjacent substituents on a cyclopropane ring mutually exert steric repulsion quite significantly, because they are fixed in eclipsed conformation to each other. Based on this structural feature of the cyclopropane ring, conformationally restricted analogs of milnacipran (1), namely 1-phenyl-2-(1-aminoalkyl)-N,N-diethylcyclopropanecarboxamides (2, 3, ent-2, and ent-3) were designed as potent NMDA receptor antagonists and were synthesized highly enantioselectively. Reaction of (R)epichlorohydrin [(R)-5] and phenylacetonitrile (6) in the presence of NaNH2 in benzene gave a chiral cyclopropane derivative that was isolated as lactone 4 with 96% ee in 67% yield, after alkaline hydrolysis of the cyano group. The nucleophilic addition reaction of Grignard reagents to aldehyde 10, which was readily prepared from 4, proceeded highly selectively from the si-face to afford addition products 11 in high yields. Although hydride reduction of the corresponding ketone 15b, prepared from 11b, with L-Selectride also proceeded highly diastereo selectively, the facial selectivity was reversed to give the re-face addition product 11b. On the other hand, reduction of 15 with DIBAL-H afforded the si-face addition product 12 in high yields. These results suggested that these nucleophilic addition reactions proceeded via either the bisected s-trans or s-cis conformation of the cyclopropylcarbonyl derivatives. From 11 and 12, the target conformationally resticted analogs, 2 and 3, were synthesized, respectively. Starting from (S)-epichlorohydrin [(S)-5], their corresponding enantiomers, ent-a and ent-3, were also synthesized. The structures of the conformationally restricted analogs detected by the X-ray crystallographic analysis suggested that their conformations can be restricted as we hypothesized. Thus, a new method for restricting the conformation of cyclopropane derivatives has been developed.

Nucleophilicaddition reaction of Grignard reagents to cyclopropylcarbaldehyde 4 proceeded highly selectively from the si-face to afford 5 in high yield. Although hydride reduction of the corresponding ketone 7 with L-Selectride® also proceeded highly diastereoselectively, the facial selectivity was reversed to give the re-face addition product 5. On the other hand, reduction of 7 with DIBAL-H afforded
