C−H Insertion as a Key Step to Spiro‐Oxetanes, Scaffolds for Drug Discovery

Abstract: Abstract:A new route to spiro-oxetanes, potential scaffolds for drug discovery, is described. The route is based on the selective 1,4-C-H insertion reactions of metallocarbenes, generated from simple carbonyl precursors in flow or batch mode, to give spiro-β-lactones that are rapidly converted into spiro-oxetanes. The three-dimensional and lead like-properties of spiro-oxetanes is illustrated by the conversion of the 1-oxa-7-azaspiro [3,5]nonane scaffold into a range of functionalized derivatives.Modern drug d… Show more

“…In particular, spirocyclic oxetanes (Figure 2) represent an interesting alternative scaffold due to their intrinsic high degree of three-dimensional character, rigidity and well defined vectors. [7][8][9][10][11] Figure 2: Recent examples of spirocyclic oxetane scaffolds.…”

“…Oxetanes can be prepared using a variety of methods including the intramolecular Williamson ether synthesis, 10,12,13 the Paterno-Buchi reaction, 14 intramolecular alkylation, 15 or by gold catalysed rearrangement of propargylic alcohols. 16 In keeping with our aim to prepare sp 3 -atom rich scaffolds for drug discovery, as part of the European Lead Factory project, 10,[17][18][19] we identified the spirocyclic oxetane scaffold 5 for inclusion in the Joint European Compound Library (Figure 3).…”

“…Common methodologies for assembling spirocyclic scaffolds are mainly relaying on intramolecular S N 2 alkylation [9–19] and N‐acylation, [11,20,21] ring closing metathesis [20,22–24] of the appropriate precursors. Additionally, metal‐catalyzed [25–28] and hypervalent iodine mediated [29] dearmoatization reactions, Prins reaction [30–32] and cycloaddition reactions [23,33–35] should be mentioned.…”

“…The innovative work of Hartwig and Miyaura, 15 and Smith and Maleczka 16 in iridium-catalysed aromatic C-H borylation offers a potentially powerful method for functionalisation given that the synthetic versatility of boronate groups is ever increasing. [17][18][19] Encouraged by previous examples of C-H borylation on simple phenylalanine 20 and tryptophan 21 derivatives we now report the substrate directed iridium borylation of β-3-aryl-aminopropionic acid precursors together with examples of "onepot" transformations to diversely functionalised 3,5-substi-tuted products and implementation of this methodology in the preparation of an integrin antagonist bearing a β-3,5-arylaminopropionic acid motif.…”
