Studies on the Stereoselective Synthesis of Sacubitril via a Chiral Amine Transfer Approach.

We present a comprehensive account of our efforts directed towards the synthesis of sacubitril, a neprilysin inhibitor used in combination with valsartan and marketed as Entresto™. Our initial approach to the formal synthesis of sacubitril employed a chiral pool strategy, utilizing (S)-pyroglutamic acid as a key building block and Cu(I)-mediated Csp-Csp cross-coupling as a key transformation. Further investigations led to the development of chiral amine transfer (CAT) reagents-based stereoselective synthesis.

The synthesis of the spirocyclic imine fragment of the portimine family of marine toxins has been achieved. A densely functionalized key lactone-ester intermediate was assembled via a highly diastereoselective Diels-Alder cycloaddition, involving a novel γ-hydroxymethyl-α,β-butenolide dienophile. A Stille coupling was employed to install the vinyl group.

Fast and efficient galvanostatic conversion of 2,4-diarylfurans into dimeric furan-2(5)-ones is now possible in one pot and good yields at room temperature in sustainable aqueous organic solvent. Recent applications of these highly desired structures demand our attention since they are a versatile alternative to acrylates in polymerization to achieve green materials. The reaction mechanism proposal, supported by density functional theory (DFT) theoretical calculations, involves furanoxy radicals, detected by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), as the last intermediate before a homocoupling step that affords butenolides.

The synthesis of heretofore unknown γ-spirobutenolides has been achieved via an -CPBA-mediated oxidation of β-furyl amides. The reaction employs a tethered amide, ostensibly a poorly reactive carbonyl, as a nontraditional nucleophile resulting in spirolactone formation and concurrent amide cleavage. The transformation exhibits functional group tolerance and compatibility with complex compounds.

The intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction (IMDA) of a butenolide derivative, as an entry to the type II abyssomicin scaffold, and the total synthesis of (±)-abyssomicin 2 and (±)-neoabyssomicin B are reported for the first time. A facile route to the IMDA precursor, the formation of a type I intermediate and two paths to (±)-neoabyssomicin B are also discussed.
