Description
Description
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of substituted acyclic nucleosides and to intermediates occurring therein. Acyclic purine nucleosides such as 2-amino-9-[(1,3-bis-isopropoxy-2-propoxy)methyl]purine (EP A 0217207), such as 2-amino-7-[(1,3-bis-isopropoxy-2-propoxy)methyl]purine and 2-amino-7-[(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxy)methyl]purine (DE C 4008858.8), such as 9-[(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxy)methyl]guanine (EP A 0049072), such as 9-[(2,3-dihydroxy-1-propoxy)methyl]guanine (W. T. Ashton et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 108, 1716 (1982)) and such as 9-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]guanine (H. J. Schaeffer et al., Nature 272, 583 (1978)) are active substances with antiviral activity and can be prepared by addition of side chains which are activated in various ways onto the purine system.
The activated side-chain component used to date for introducing the ##STR3## substituents are the halogenomethyl ethers, the methylthiomethyl, methylsulfinylmethyl and methylsulfonylmethyl ethers and the acyloxymethyl ethers of the appropriately substituted alkanols.
All these coupling methods have intrinsic preparative disadvantages: thus, the halogenomethyl ethers are unstable and toxic; the methylthiomethyl, methylsulfinylmethyl and methylsulfonylmethyl ethers provide mercaptans as by-products of the preparation and of the reaction, which give rise to problems in the purification of waste water and exhaust air, and the acyloxymethyl ethers either can be prepared pure only with difficulty and/or undergo a process in their preparation in which dimethyl sulfoxide, which is intrinsically associated with waste water and exhaust air problems, is used.
It has now been found, surprisingly, that symmetrical formaldehyde acetals can be used in the preparation of substituted acyclic nucleosides, and the said problems do not occur therein.
Accordingly, the invention relates to a process for the preparation of substituted acyclic nucleosides, which comprises converting an alcohol of the formula I ##STR4## into a formaldehyde acetal of the formula II ##STR5## where R.sup.1 is hydrogen, alkyl, optionally substituted one or more times by halogen, azide, alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkynyloxy, alkylthio, alkenylthio, alkynylthio, dialkylamino, dialkenylamino, dialkynylamino, benzyloxy, benzylthio, dibenzylamino or phthalimido groups and/or by --P(O)(OR.sup.4)(OR.sup.5), --P(R.sup.6)(O)(OR.sup.5), --O--CH.sub.2 --P(O)(OR.sup.4)(OR.sup.5) or --O--CH.sub.2 --P(R.sup.6)(O)(OR.sup.5) radicals, where R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 can each, independently of one another, be alkyl;
R.sup.2 is alkyl, benzyl or a --CH.sub.2 --P(O)(OR.sup.4)(OR.sup.5) or --CH.sub.2 --P(R.sup.6)(O)(OR.sup.5) radical, where R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 can each, independently of one another, be alkyl;
R.sup.3 is hydrogen, alkyl, optionally substituted one or more times by halogen, azide, alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkynyloxy, alkylthio, alkenylthio, alkynylthio, dialkylamino, dialkenylamino, dialkynylamino, benzyloxy, benzylthio, dibenzylamino or phthalimido groups and/or by --P(O)(OR.sup.4)(OR.sup.5), --P(R.sup.6)(O)(OR.sup.5), --O--CH.sub.2 --P(O)(OR.sup.4)(OR.sup.5)or --O--CH.sub.2 --P(R.sup.6)(O)(OR.sup.5) radicals, where R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 can each, independently of one another, be alkyl; and to introduce the group ##STR6## a suitably substituted nitrogen-containing heterocyclic system is reacted with a compound of the formula II.
The process according to the invention is suitable for preparing substituted, nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Examples of these which may be mentioned are: purines such as purine, adenine, 2-chloro-6-aminopurine, hypoxanthine, 6-thiopurine, xanthine, guanine, 2-amino-6-mercaptopurine, 2,6-diaminopurine, 2-aminopurine, 2,6-dihalogenopurine; azapurines such as 8-azapurine, 8-azaadenine, 8-azaguanine; deazapurines such as 1-deazapurines, 3-deazapurines, 7-deazapurines, 9-deazapurines; benzimidazoles; indoles; pyrimidines such as cytosine, 5-halogenocytosines, 4-amino-2-mercaptopyrimidine, uracil, 5-halogenouracils, 4-hydroxy-2-mercaptopyrimidine, thymine, 4-hydroxy-2-mercapto-5-methylpyrimidine, 5-(2-bromovinyl)uracil, 6-substituted pyrimidines such as 6-phenylthiothymine; 2-hydroxypyridines, 4-hydroxypyridines; 1,2,3-triazoles, 1,2,4-triazoles, tetrazoles; imidazoles; pyrroles.
It is particularly important for the preparation of substituted acyclic purine and pyrimidine nucleosides.
The process according to the invention is very particularly important for the preparation of purine nucleosides in which the purine derivative employed is a compound of the formula VI ##STR7## in which Z.sup.1 is trialkylsilyl, R.sup.7 is halogen and R.sup.8 is trialkylsilylated acylamino, and where the reaction leads to a compound of the formula VIa ##STR8## in which the substituents R.sup.1 -R.sup.8 have the abovementioned meanings, and subsequently the substituent R.sup.8 can be solvolyzed to the acylamino group.

The alkyl, alkenyl and alkynyl groups mentioned as substituents can be straight-chain, branched or cyclic. Examples of suitable alkyl groups are methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl; examples of suitable alkenyl groups are propenyl, 3-isobutenyl, 3-cyclohexenyl; examples of suitable alkynyl groups are 3-propynyl or 4-butynyl.
The said acyl groups can be straight-chain, branched, cycloaliphatic or aromatic. Examples of suitable acyl groups are acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, isobutyryl, valeroyl, cyclopentanoyl, cyclohexanoyl, benzoyl or 4-methylbenzoyl.
The compounds of the formula II can have one or more chiral centers. The compounds are usually in the form of racemates; preparation or isolation of the pure enantiomers is possible. The invention therefore relates both to the pure enantiomers and to mixtures thereof such as, for example, the relevant racemate.
The present invention additionally relates to a process for the preparation of compounds of the formula II, which comprises reacting the compounds of the formula I with paraformaldehyde, formaldehyde dimethyl acetal or formaldehyde diethyl acetal in the presence of a catalyst. To carry out the process, an alkanol of the formula I, paraformaldehyde or formaldehyde dimethyl acetal or formaldehyde diethyl acetal, preferably formaldehyde, are mixed with a solvent such as, for example, toluene, but preferably without a solvent, with an inorganic protonic acid catalyst such as concentrated sulfuric acid or with an organic protonic acid catalyst such as para-toluenesulfonic acid or with a cation exchanger or with a Lewis acid catalyst such as anhydrous calcium chloride or iron trichloride, preferably para-toluenesulfonic acid, and heated under pressure in an autoclave, but preferably under atmospheric pressure, with stirring at 50.degree. to 200.degree. C., preferably at 100.degree. C., for 1 to 24 hours, preferably for 3-7 hours. The water formed in this reaction can be removed by distillation, where appropriate azeotropically. It is alternatively possible to add a dehydrating agent such as activated 4 Angstrom molecular sieves. The most favorable molar ratio of formaldehyde (equivalent):alkanol is 0.2:1.0 to 1.5:1.0, preferably 0.33:1.0.
Similar processes are described, for example, in Houben-Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie (Methods of Organic Chemistry) Volume VI/3, pp. 203 et seq., Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart, 1965.
The reaction mixture can be worked up by conventional methods. The working up is carried out in such a way, for example, that the reaction mixture is fractionally distilled in vacuo, but preferably in such a way that the reaction mixture is dissolved in a dialkyl ether, extracted by shaking several times with water and dried over sodium sulfate before it is fractionally distilled in vacuo. The fractional distillation not only yields the symmetrical formaldehyde acetal of the formula II but also recovers unreacted alkanol of the formula I.
The present invention also relates to a process for the preparation of acyclic nucleosides substituted by a ##STR12## group, which comprises reacting a compound of the formula II with a suitable nitrogen-containing heterocycle, where the substituents R.sup.1 -R.sup.3 have the abovementioned meanings.
The present invention particularly relates to a process for the preparation of the abovementioned compounds of the formula VIa, wherein the purine derivative employed is a compound of the abovementioned formula VI in which Z.sup.1 is trialkylsilyl, especially trimethylsilyl, R.sup.7 is halogen, especially chlorine, and R.sup.8 is trialkylsilylated acylamino, preferably trimethylsilylated benzoylamino or trimethylsilylated C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 aliphatic acylamino, especially trimethylsilylated acetamido.
The purine derivative is reacted with a symmetrical formaldehyde acetal according to the invention, of the formula II, whose radicals R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are as described above under A), B) or C), preferably in an aprotic solvent such as benzene, toluene, xylene, acetonitrile, dichloromethane or 1,2-dichloroethane or mixtures thereof in the presence of an acid catalyst, preferably of a Lewis acid catalyst such as aluminum trichloride, aluminum sulfate, iron trichloride, gallium trichloride, tin tetrachloride, titanium tetrachloride, boron trifluoride, cesium fluoride, cesium sulfate or trialkylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonates, especially trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate, where the amounts of these catalyst reagents are 0.1-10, preferably 0.8-7 equivalents based on the amount of the symmetrical formaldehyde acetal employed in each case, at temperatures between -70.degree. C. and +80.degree. C., preferably between -40.degree. C. and +30.degree. C., for 2 to 24 hours, preferably for 2 to 6 hours.
This process yields with high regioselectivity, as a rule >>9:1, preferentially the N7 isomer of the particular purine derivative of the formula VIa with R.sup.7 =acylamino after the labile trialkylsilyl protective group has been removed by mild solvolysis with water, with aqueous or alcoholic ammonia or with aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution or by alcoholysis.
The products of the formula VIa can be reacted further to other purine derivatives as described in German Patent Application P 40 08 858.8.
The present invention furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of the abovementioned compounds of the formula VIIa, wherein the purine derivative employed is a compound of the abovementioned formula VII in which Z.sup.2 is benzoyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 aliphatic or cycloaliphatic acyl, especially acetyl, R.sup.9 is halogen, especially chlorine, and R.sup.10 is benzoyl- or C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 aliphatic or cycloaliphatic acylamino, especially acetamido. The purine derivative is reacted with a symmetrical formaldehyde acetal according to the invention, of the formula II, whose radicals R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are as described above under A), B) or C), preferably in a polar aprotic solvent such as sulfolane, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone or mixtures thereof, preferably N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, in the presence of a protic acid catalyst such as para-toluenesulfonic acid or bis(4-nitrophenyl) phosphate, preferably a Lewis acid catalyst such as aluminum trichloride, aluminum sulfate, iron trichloride, gallium trichloride, tin tetrachloride, titanium tetrachloride, cesium fluoride, cesium sulfate, boron trifluoride or boron trifluoride-dialkyl ether complex, particularly preferably aluminum sulfate or boron trifluoride-dialkyl ether complex, where the amounts of these catalyst reagents are 0.1-10, 0.2-5 equivalents based on the amount of the symmetrical formaldehyde acetal employed in each case, at temperatures between 0.degree. C. and 200.degree. C., preferably between 70.degree. C. and 120.degree. C., for 2-24 hours, preferably for 2-8 hours. This process yields with high regioselectivity, usually >>9:1, preferentially the N9 isomer of the particular purine derivative of the formula VIIa.
The present patent application additionally relates to compounds of the formula ##STR13## in which R.sup.9 is halogen or hydrogen and R.sup.11 is isopropyl or benzyl.
These compounds have antiviral activity and are, furthermore, important for the preparation of other purine nucleosides.

Example 2.1.
Compound of the formula VIa in which R.sup.7 is chlorine, R.sup.8 is acetamido, R.sup.1 is isopropoxymethyl, R.sup.2 is isopropyl and R.sup.3 is hydrogen:
6.9 g (0.033 mol) of 2-acetamido-6-chloropurine are reacted in 28 ml of dry xylene with 28 ml of hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) and 0.2 g of ammonium sulfate at the reflux temperature for 3 hours, and give a compound of the formula VI in which R.sup.7 is chlorine, R.sup.8 is trimethylsilylated acetamido and Z.sup.1 is trimethylsilyl. The solvent and excess HMDS are removed from the reaction mixture, which is dissolved in 85 ml of dry 1,2-dichloroethane and added at -30.degree. C. to a solution of 11.96 g (0.033 mol) of formaldehyde bis-(1,3-bis-isopropoxy-2-propyl) acetal (compound from Example 1) in 85 ml of dry 1,2-dichloroethane. Then, at -30.degree. C., 5 ml (0.026 mol) of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate are slowly added, and the reaction mixture is stirred at -30.degree. C. for 2 hours.
