Traceless Solid-Phase Synthesis of Mappicine Ketone Library via Multiple Chemoselective Palladium-Catalyzed Reactions on Benzenesulfonate Linker

Abstract

We report here a solid-phase synthesis of a library of mappicine ketone, a leading antiviral compound with activity against herpes viruses and human cytomegalovirus. The synthesis is based on multiple chemoselective palladium-catalyzed reactions involving a regioselective intramolecular Heck reaction at C-2, substitution of Cl at C-7 by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction and Buchwald-Hartwig amination, and reductive cleavage of the benzenesulfonate linker at C-10.

The mixture was agitated at 100 ˚C for 12 h. The resin was washed alternately with DMF and H₂O (3×), CHCl₃ and MeOH (3×), and Et₂O, and then dried under vacuum.
General Procedure for Arylation of 22 (Step g)
To a test tube containing 22 (0.041 mmol), p-Ac-C₆H₄B(OH)₂ (0.45 mmol), Pd(OAc)₂ (0.027 mmol), S-Phos (0.054 mmol), and K₃PO₄ (0.45 mmol) was added toluene (0.8 mL) under argon. The mixture was agitated at 100 ˚C for 12 h. The resin was washed alternately with DMF and H₂O (3×), CHCl₃ and MeOH (3×), and Et₂O, and then dried under vacuum.
General Procedure for Amination of 22 (Step h)
To a test tube containing 22 (0.041 mmol), BnNH₂ (0.46 mmol), Pd(OAc)₂ (0.066 mmol), XANTPHOS (0.073 mmol), and K₂CO₃ (0.46 mmol) was added 1,4-dioxane (0.8 mL) under argon. The mixture was agitated at 100 ˚C for 12 h. The resin was washed alternately with DMF and H₂O (3×), CHCl₃ and MeOH (3×), and Et₂O, and then dried under vacuum.
General Procedure for NaBH ₄ Reduction of 22 (Step i)
To a suspension of 22 (0.021 mmol) in THF-EtOH (3:1, 0.5 mL) was added NaBH₄ (0.11 mmol) under argon. The mixture was agitated at r.t. for 3 h. The resin was washed alternately with DMF and H₂O (3×), CHCl₃ and MeOH (3×), and Et₂O, and then dried under vacuum to yield 23.
General Procedure for Reductive Cleavage (Step j)
To a test tube containing 23 or 24 (0.021 mmol), Pd(OAc)₂ (0.0084 mmol), and dppp (0.0092 mmol) were added anhyd 1,4-dioxane (0.5 mL), Et₃N (0.63 mmol), and formic acid (0.63 mmol) under argon. The mixture was agitated at
100 ˚C for 12 h. The mixture was filtered and thoroughly washed with CHCl₃. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by PLC eluting with 6% MeOH-CHCl₃ to yield 25 or 26. Spectral data of 25bA agreed with the reported ones. [²b] [d]
