Photochemical In-Flow Synthesis of 2,4-Methanopyrrolidines: Pyrrolidine Analogues with Improved Water Solubility and Reduced Lipophilicity

Abstract: A practical synthesis of 2,4-methanopyrrolidines was elaborated. The key synthetic step was an intramolecular photochemical [2 + 2]-cycloaddition of an acrylic acid derivative in flow. In spite of a higher molecular weight, 2,4-methanopyrrolidines were shown to have higher solubility in water and lower lipophilicity than pyrrolidines, important characteristics of bioactive molecules in drug design.

“…92 For instance, introduction of a stereocenter in compound 2.9 did not significantly affect the log P, however it drastically lowered the melting point thus indicating a significantly less stable crystal lattice and better solubility in water (Fig. 8C) 39,93,94 (see chapter 3 in ref. 60).…”

“…2,4-Methanopyrrolidines are an important heterocyclic class of compounds that display higher hydrophilicity than regular pyrrolidines. Several applications demonstrate that their continuous photochemical synthesis based on an intramolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition ( Figure 11A) can be scaled to kilogram quantities in order to facilitate further derivatization [31,62,63]. The synthesis of 3-hydroxyazetidines via a continuous Norrish-Young photocyclization reaction ( Figure 11B) represents a further demonstration of effectively creating drug-like structures in a simple and atom-economical fashion, and a recent study reports on the versatility of this transformation [64].…”

“…To overcome these problems, thin, low volume glassware has been developed, however, only small batches can be run resulting in low productivity. For these reasons, microfluidic flow reactor technology has been shown to be a good fit to reduce the reaction times and increase the efficiency, therefore gaining the desired throughputs [495][496][497]. Many examples of customised flow photoreactors have been developed and investigated for [2 + 2] cycloadditions [316,[498][499][500][501][502][503][504][505][506].…”
