The efficient synthesis of (3R,4R,5R)-3-amino-4,5-dimethyl-octanoic acid, a chiral β-amino acid with potent affinity for the α2δ protein
摘要:
A chiral beta-amino acid containing three contiguous chiral centers was synthesized efficiently in 11 steps, employing enantio-enriched beta-ketoester as a key intermediate, via stereoselective catalytic hydrogenation of the corresponding enamide. Stereoselective 1,4-addition of a methyl group and protonation were key to the preparation of the desired acid 12. Mild and efficient reaction conditions were applied to the enamine formation and protection to avoid epimerization at C-4 of compounds 13 and 14. The final compound was found to display potent affinity for the alpha(2)delta-protein that is a recognized drug target for the treatment of a variety of diseases. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

(EN) Disclosed are materials and methods for preparing precursors of optically active &bgr;-amino acids, which bind to the alpha-2-delta (&agr;2&dgr;) subunit of a calcium channel and are useful for treating pain, fibromyalgia, and a variety of psychiatric and sleep disorders. The method includes reacting a malonate derivative with a terminal alkyne in the presence of an In(III) catalyst.(FR) L'invention concerne des matériaux et des procédés pour la préparation de précurseurs de ß-aminoacides optiquement actifs, qui se lient à la sous-unité alpha-2-delta (a2d) d'un canal calcique et qui sont utiles pour le traitement de la douleur, de la fibromyalgie, et de divers troubles psychiatriques ou du sommeil. Le procédé de l'invention consiste à faire réagir un dérivé de malonate avec un alcyne terminal en présence d'un catalyseur In(III).
