Abstract

:
all-endo-3-amino-5-hydroxybicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2-carboxylic acid (13) and all-endo-5-amino-6-(hydroxymethyl)bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-ol (10) were prepared via dihydro-1,3-oxazine or γ-lactone intermediates by the stereoselective functionalization of an N-protected derivative of endo-3-aminobicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene-2-carboxylic acid (2). Ring closure of β-amino ester 4 resulted in tricyclic pyrimidinones 15 and 16. The structures, stereochemistry and relative configurations of the synthesized compounds were determined by IR and NMR.

Graphical Abstract

1. Introduction

The synthesis of non-natural α-amino acids is currently an important synthetic challenge in view of their increasing role in chemistry and biology. Among them, bicyclic amino acids exhibit biological activity; as an example, 2-aminobicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid (BCH) blocks the transport of nonpolar amino acids across cell membranes, acts as an insulin-releasing factor and also inhibits the flavoprotein amino acid oxidases [1]. Straub et al. determined whether protein acylation plays a part in the action of glucose on insulin-secreting β-cells. They reported that BCH, a non-metabolizable analog of leucine that mimics the stimulatory effect of glucose on insulin secretion, increased the incorporation of 3H-palmitic acid into protein [2]. Maechler et al. examined the whether activation of glutamate dehydrogenase (a mitochondrial enzyme playing a key role in the control of insulin secretion) by BCH enhances glutamine oxidation and insulin secretion [3]. BHC is a model compound for the study of amino acid transporters, as it is an L-selective inhibitor that at suitable concentration can induce the suppression of cell growth and cancer cell apoptosis. [4,5] The interest in synthetic amino acids possessing a bicycle[2.2.2]octane structure is highlighted by a number of investigations relating to their biological action. Dihydroxylated derivatives of 4-aminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1-carboxylic acid have been used as scaffolds for antiviral agents [6,7], and 2-amino-bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2-carboxylic acid selectively disturbs levels of neutral amino acids in the cerebral cortex [8,9]. Although of less biological importance than their α-analogs, some bicyclic β-amino acid derivatives exert biological activity [10,11], and are also present in peptides [10,12]. For example, a series of cyclic β-amino acid dipeptide derivatives have been investigated as VLA-4 antagonists in various inflammatory and autoimmune disease states [13].
During the past 20 years, a number of bicyclic β-amino acid derivatives have been synthesized, some of them with useful pharmacological effects [4], and they are widely used for the preparation of saturated 1,3-heterocycles. The synthesis and stereochemical aspects of the diexo- and diendo-fused norbornane- and norbornene-1,3-heterocycles have been thoroughly studied [14]. To date, only a few bicyclo[2.2.2]octene-fused heterocycles have been prepared [15,16,17,18,19]. Because of their therapeutic interest, the syntheses of cycloalkane-fused pyrimidinones have been studied [14], but syntheses of their bicyclo[2.2.2]octene-condensed derivatives have not yet been reported.
cis- and trans-3-Aminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2-carboxylic acid were prepared some years ago [20,21,22], but their partially saturated analogs and further functionalized derivatives have not yet been described. Our work was focused on the syntheses of di-endo-3-aminobicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene-2-carboxylic acid and its hydroxyl-substituted derivatives by stereoselective and regioselective functionalization of the double bond via 1,3-oxazine or γ-lactone intermediates. A further aim was a study of the ring-closure reactions of amino esters, and the retro-Diels-Alder reactions of the synthesized tricyclic pyrimidinones.

2. Results and Discussion

The Diels Alder reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene with maleic anhydride resulted in di-endo-bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid anhydride (1) diastereoseletively. The starting di-endo-3-aminobicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene-2-carboxylic acid (2) was prepared selectively by hypochlorite-mediated Hoffman degradation of the carboxamide obtained by ammonolysis of anhydride 1. Amino acid 2 was esterified in the presence of EtOH and SOCl2, furnishing the amino ester 4. Compound 2 was also transformed into cis-amino acid 3 with H2 in the presence of Pd/C, and it was protected with tert-butoxypyrocarbonate to give N-acylated amino acid 5 (Scheme 1).
We earlier reported several methods for the synthesis of β-amino acids with hydroxy-substituted cyclopentane, cyclohexane, cycloctane and norbornane skeletons. The hydroxy group could be introduced stereoselectively on the ring by starting from cis-, trans- or di-endo-alicyclic aminocarboxylic acids by iodolactonization or via the corresponding oxazine or oxazoline derivatives [23,24,25,26,27,28,29]. Another method of hydroxylation of 2-aminocyclohexenecarboxylic acid is feasible by functionalization of the olefinic bond through epoxidation [30].

Our present aim was the functionalization of the olefinic bond of aminocarboxylic acid derivatives 4 and 5, and the synthesis and structural analysis of new hydroxy-substituted 3-aminobicyclo-[2.2.2]oct-5-ene-2-carboxylic acid derivatives. The first step in these syntheses was the stereoselective iodolactonization of N-Boc-endo-3-aminobicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene-2-carboxylic acid (5) under two-phase conditions, furnishing iodolactone 6, which was reduced with Bu3SnH to give N-Boc lactone 7. When 7 was reacted with TFA or HCl, only the protecting group was eliminated, resulting in lactones 8a or 8b, instead of the all-endo-3-amino-6-hydroxybicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2-carboxylic acid. The similar lactone opening of 7 was also attempted with NaN3 [31,32,33], BF3.OEt2 [34] or LiOH [26], but not even traces of the desired product were observed in the reaction mixture. Reductive opening of the lactone ring of 7 with LiAlH4 in THF resulted in the protected amino alcohol 9, and subsequent deprotection of the amino group by acidic hydrolysis afforded all-endo-5-amino-6-(hydroxymethyl)bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-ol (10) (Scheme 2).

When N-acetyl derivative 11 was reacted with N-iodosuccinimide (NIS), a tricyclic dihydro-iodooxazine derivative was obtained regio- and stereoselectively. Not even traces of other regio- or diastereomers were observed in the crude product. Selective reduction of the halogen group with of this dihydro-iodooxazine Bu3SnH under an argon atmosphere led to the dihydrooxazine. Hydrolysis of this derivative with dilute HCl at room temperature gave N-acetylhydroxy amino acid 12. When 12 was boiled in acidic solution, all-endo-3-amino-5-hydroxybicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2-carboxylic acid hydrochloride (13) was produced in medium yield (Scheme 3).

Amino ester base 4 reacted with PhNCS to give thiourea ester 14. This was cyclized by acid catalysis to 5,8-ethano-3-phenyl-2-thioxo-2,3,r-4a,t-5,t-8,c-8a-hexahydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one (15). In a similar manner as for the related tricyclic 3-substituted 2-thioxo-5,8-methanoquinazolin-4-ones investigated earlier, these compounds readily underwent decomposition when heated to their melting points; cyclopentadiene was split off, and monocyclic 2,3-dihydro-2-thioxopyrimidin-4(1H)-ones were formed [35].
The importance of this retro Diels-Alder procedure (cycloreversion) lies in the fact that 3-substituted 2-thiouracyl derivative of type 17 can be synthesized in this way [36,37]. When 15 was boiled in chlorobenzene, or heated at the melting point, or heated under MW-irradiation, the reaction mixture turned deep-brown, but the formation of 17 was not observed, the starting thioxopyrimidinone derivative 15 was not undergone any transformation.
When boiled in toluene with ethyl 4-chlorobenzimidate, amino ester base 4 furnished 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5,8-ethano-r-4a,t-5,t-8,c-8a-tetrahydroquinazolin-4(3H)-one (16) in good yield. Cyclohexadiene could be split off 16 under mild conditions to give the known pyrimidin-4-(3H)-one 18 [37,38]. When the retro Diels-Alder reaction was carried out without any solvent, by using microwave heating, the product 18 was cleaner, the yield was higher and the reaction was faster than when 16 was boiled in chlorobenzene or heated at the melting point (Scheme 4).

2.1. IR and NMR Results

The presumed structures of the new compounds (2, 4–7, 8a,b and 9–16) follow straightforwardly from the spectral data [Table 1 and Table 2; to facilitate comparison of the analogs’ spectroscopic data, the IUPAC numbering for 13 (Scheme 3) is used in this section and in Table 1 and Table 2]. The following additional remarks are necessary:
The zwitterionic structures of 2 and 3 and the ammonium salt structures of 4, 8, 10 and 13 are supported by the very diffuse νNH3+ band in the 3500–2000 cm−1 IR interval [39a]. The characteristic high νC=O frequency of 6–8 at 1762–1808 cm−1 is evidence of the presence of a carbonyl group in the compound the γ-lactone moiety [39b].
The presence of the 5-iodo substituent in 6 causes downfield shifts of the C–4 and C–6 lines lines in the 13C NMR spectrum (by 7.1 and 7.9 ppm, respectively) and an opposite change in the shift of the C–5 signal (by 4.2 ppm) as compared with 7 (β-effect), in accord with the literature [40a,41,42]. Further proof was supplied by the elemental analysis and the mass spectroscopic measurements.
The endo position of the 2,3-substituents is proved by the doublet split (9.5 ± 0.4 Hz) of the H−2 1H NMR signal for 2–5, 11, 12 and 14. The bulkier carbonyl substituent (relative to 3-NH) forces the flexible bicyclooctane skeleton into a conformation in which the dihedral angle H−1,H−2 is close to 90°, and due to the Karplus relation [42,43], the corresponding vicinal coupling is small. The mutual intensity enhancements of one of H-7endo and H-2 saturating the other of them (in case of compounds 4 and 5) are unambiguous proofs of the endo position of the C-2 substituent. Consequently, only the 3J(H−2,H−3) interaction leads to a well-identifiable split of the H−2 signal.

In 6–8, the condensed γ-lactone ring forces the molecules into a stereo structure in which the dihedral angle H−1,H−2 is smaller, while the angle H−2,H−3 remains practically unaltered. Thus, both interactions lead to well-observable splits and the H−2 signal appears as a double doublet.
The zwitterionic and strained (condensed γ-lactone ring) structures of 2, 3 and 6–8, are manifested, as expected [40b], in low field shifts of the C=O line (175.6, 176.3 and 176.9 ± 0.7 ppm, respectively) relative to the values measured for the other compounds (171.8–174.6 ppm) (thioimide 15 is an exception for which this line is at 167.7 ppm, in accord with the literature data [40b]) in the diendo-position.
In 10, the steric interaction between the 2-hydroxymethyl and 6-hydroxy groups in the di-exo-position compensates the effort of the bulkier NH3+ group to occupy an out of plane position (relative to the plane of the methylene carbon and C-2,3), and consequently the cyclohexane ring bearing three substituents is forced into a nearly ideal boat conformation (in contrast with the other compounds discussed above), with a dihedral angle H−2,H−3 of ca. 0°. Thus, this compound exhibits the highest split (14.5 Hz) of the H−2 doublet.
As a result of steric hindrance of the substituents in 13, here in Pos. 2, 3 and 5, the dihedral angle H−2,H−3 is most distant from 0° and the corresponding split is the smallest (5.8 Hz).
In pyrimidone-condensed 15 and 16, the anisotropy of the neighbouring carbonyl [40c] results in a downfield shift of the H−1 signal (3.32 and 3.23 ppm), in contrast with the values of 1.68–2.80 ppm measured for the other compounds.
The strained skeleton in 6–8 and the steric hindrance in 9 and 10 (between the diendo substituents in Pos. 2 and 6) show up in upfield shifts (steric compression shifts or field effects [40d]) of the C−2 line (at 40.4–43.9 ppm) as compared with the values observed for 2, 4, 5 and 11–14 (46.0–50.2 ppm). In 15 and 16, a similar situation due to the condensed heteroring also leads to strain in the molecular skeleton as proved by upfield shifts of involved carbon signals.
Similarly, the C−7 line is upfield-shifted (14.9–15.6 ppm) for 6, 7 and 8a,b. In the other cases, these shifts are between 24.1 and 25.7 ppm (except for 3 and 13, where the bulky NH3+ and the 7-CH2 groups are also in steric interaction (19.2 and 19.7 ppm)).
Mention should be made of the significant downfield shift of the exo H−8 signal in 6 (at 2.22 ppm, whereas in 7 this shift is ca. 1.75 ppm), which originates from the anisotropic effect of the iodo substituent [40e] at Pos. 5.

3. Experimental

3.1. General

The chemicals were purchased from Aldrich or Fluka. Melting points were determined on a Kofler micro melting point apparatus. Elemental analyses were performed with a Perkin-Elmer CHNS-2400 Ser II Elemental Analyser; Merck Kieselgel 60F254 plates were used for TLC: the eluent was 4:1 toluene-MeOH. Products were purified by column chromatography on Merck 0.063–0.2 mm silica gel; the elution mixtures were determined case by case. Microwave reactions were performed in a CEM Discover LabMate MW reactor. The 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra were recorded in CDCl3 or DMSO-d6 solution in 5 mm tubes at room temperature, on a Bruker DRX 500 spectrometer at 500 (1H) and 125 (13C) MHz, with the deuterium signal of the solvent as the lock and TMS as internal standard. The standard Bruker microprogram NOEMULT.AU to generate NOE was used. DEPT spectra were run in a standard manner, using only the = 135° pulse to separate CH/CH3 and CH2 lines phased “up” and “down”, respectively.
