NEW METHODS FOR THE PREPARATION OF TAXANES USING CHIRAL AUXILIARIES
-
Page/Page column 44, (2008/06/13)
The present invention relates to a stereoselective synthesis of novel β-lactam dimers as useful precursors for the preparation of paclitaxel, docetaxel, and analogues thereof. More particularly, the new β-lactams are prepared from readily available and enantiomerically pure chiral auxiliaries. The β-lactams are then reacted with a suitably protected taxane to produce diastereomerically enriched side chain-bearing taxanes. Finally, the chiral auxiliary is cleaved and protecting groups are removed to provide the desired taxane.

A short and efficient synthesis of 2'-O-methoxyethylguanosine (8) is described. Central to this strategy is the development of a novel silicon-based protecting group (MDPSCl(2), 2) used to protect the 3',5'-hydroxyl groups of the ribose. Silylation of guanosine with 2 proceeded with excellent regioselectivity and in 79% yield. Alkylation of the 2'-hydroxyl group of 6 proceeded with methoxyethyl bromide and NaHMDS and afforded compound 7 in 85% yield, without any noticeable cleavage of the silyl protecting group and without the need to protect the guanine base moiety. Finally, deprotection of 7 was achieved using TBAF and produced 8 in 97% yield.
