The development of a multigram synthesis of 3--isopropylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2--amine hydrochloride () (also known as BRD4780 and AGN-192403) is described. The process involves protection of the amine as 4-nitrobenzyl carbamate, pNZ, which enables chiral SFC chromatography. The absolute configuration (AC) of the individual enantiomers has been determined by Mosher's amide method, VCD spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. We highlight the VCD approach as a rapid and effective means of AC determination that can be deployed directly on the target compounds.

A series of novel spirocyclic α-proline building blocks with a spiro conjunction in position 3 of the pyrrolidine ring was prepared to employ two convenient and practical synthetic approaches. Both alternative routes utilize simple and readily available starting materials─cyclic ketones and esters─and comprise 6 and 7 steps, respectively. The methodologies feature distinct advantages, using routine organic chemistry transformations, and are suitable for producing multigram amounts of the target prolines.

4'-Thionucleosides (thNAs) are synthetic nucleoside analogues that have attracted attention as leads for drug discovery in oncology and virology. Here we report a thNA synthesis that relies on a scalable α-fluorination and aldol reaction of α-heteroaryl acetaldehydes followed by a streamlined process involving carbonyl reduction, mesylate formation and a double displacement reaction using NaSH. We demonstrate the multigram preparation of 4'-thio-5-methyluridine and highlight the production of purine and pyrimidine thNAs as well as C2'-modified thNAs.

An expedient approach to the synthesis of 4-azaspiro[2.3]hexane derivatives is described. The synthetic scheme consists of Tebbe olefination of -Boc-protected 2-azetidinone (including the first use of the deuterated Petasis reagent CpTi(CD) in the building block preparation) and cyclopropanation of the resulting intermediate.

Enzymatic production of nucleotide sugars on a multigram scale presents a challenge, as only a few processes have been reported for large-scale nucleotide sugar production. They rely primarily on batch synthesis and employ exceptional amounts of enzymes. This study introduces a novel approach for the multigram-scale production of nucleotide sugars with a continuous fed-batch membrane reactor.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTriptycene derivatives are used extensively in supramolecular and materials chemistry, however, most are prepared using a multi-step synthesis involving the generation of a benzyne intermediate, which hinders production on a large scale. Inspired by the ease of the synthesis of resorcinarenes, we report the rapid and efficient preparation of triptycene-like 1,6,2',7'-tetrahydroxynaphthopleiadene directly from 2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene and phthalaldehyde. Structural characterisation confirms the novel bridged bicyclic framework, within which the planes of the single benzene ring and two naphthalene units are fixed at an angle of ∼120° relative to each other.
