Remote Electronic Control in the Regioselective Reduction of Succinimides: A Practical, Scalable Synthesis of EP4 Antagonist MF-310
摘要:
A practical large-scale chromatography-free synthesis of EP4 antagonist MF-310, a potential new treatment for chronic inflammation, is presented. The synthetic route provided MF-310 as its sodium salt in 10 steps and 17% overall yield from commercially available pyridine dicarboxylate 7. The key features of this sequence include a unique regioselective reduction of succinimide 2 controlled by the electronic-properties of a remote pyridine ring, preparation of cyclopropane carboxylic acid 3 via a Corey-Chaykovsky cyclopropanation, and a short synthesis of sulfonamide 5.
