- Synthesis of enantiopure (R)-2-(4-methoxy-3-(3-methoxypropoxy)-benzyl)-3-methylbutanoic acid-a key intermediate for the preparation of Aliskiren
-
The enantioselective hydrogenation of (E)-2-(4-methoxy-3-(3-methoxypropoxy)-benzylidene)-3-methylbutanoic acid (1) to (R)-2-(4-methoxy-3-(3-methoxypropoxy)-benzyl)-3-methylbutanoic acid (2)-a key intermediate in the synthesis of the pharmacologically important renin inhibitor Aliskiren-is described. The stereochemistry of the catalytic transformation has been studied using a number of homogeneous chiral Rh(I) and Ru(II) complexes bearing ferrocene-based phosphine ligands. The highest enantioselectivity for the homogeneous hydrogenation of 1 (up to 95% ee) was achieved with a [Rh(NBD)2]BF4 pre-catalyst (substrate/catalyst ratio 100:1, 10 bar H2, 40 °C, in MeOH). To bring the enantioselectivity to perfection an effective method for the isolation of the enantiopure carboxylic acid is suggested likewise.

- A mixed-ligand approach enables the asymmetric hydrogenation of an α-isopropylcinnamic acid en route to the renin inhibitor aliskiren
-
An asymmetric hydrogenation process for the α-isopropyl dihydrocinnamic acid derivative 2, an intermediate for the renin inhibitor aliskiren (4), has been developed using a rhodium catalyst ligated with a chiral monodentate phosphoramidite and a nonchiral phosphine. Whereas catalysts based on two equivalents of monodentate phosphoramidites gave promising results, the rate of hydrogenation and ee of the product could be improved spectacularly by the addition of monodentate non-chiral triarylphosphines to these catalysts. This remarkable mixed-ligand catalyst has been identified using high-throughput experimentation. With the best catalysts turnover numbers >5000 mol mol -1, turnover frequencies >1000 mol mol-1 h -1, and ee's up to 95% have been achieved.

- Convergent Synthesis of the Renin Inhibitor Aliskiren Based on C5-C6 Disconnection and CO2H-NH2 Equivalence
-
A novel synthesis of the renin inhibitor aliskiren based on an unprecedented disconnection between C5 and C6 was developed, in which the C5 carbon acts as a nucleophile and the amino group is introduced by a Curtius rearrangement, which follows a simultaneous stereocontrolled generation of the C4 and C5 stereogenic centers by an asymmetric hydrogenation. Operational simplicity, step economy, and a good overall yield makes this synthesis amenable to manufacture on scale.

- Walphos versus biferrocene-based walphos analogues in the asymmetric hydrogenation of alkenes and ketones
-
Two representative Walphos analogues with an achiral 2,2″- biferrocenediyl backbone were synthesized. These diphosphine ligands were tested in the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of several alkenes and in the ruthenium-catalyzed hydrogenation of two ketones. The results were compared with those previously obtained on using biferrocene ligands with a C 2-symmetric 2,2″-biferrocenediyl backbone as well as with those obtained with Walphos ligands. The application of one newly synthesized ligand in the hydrogenation of 2-methylcinnamic acid gave (R)-2-methyl-3- phenylpropanoic acid with full conversion and with 92% ee. The same ligand was used to transform 2,4-pentanedione quantitatively and diastereoselectively into (S,S)-2,4-pentanediol with 98% ee.

- Biferrocene-based diphosphine ligands: Synthesis and application of walphos analogues in asymmetric hydrogenations
-
A total of four biferrocene-based Walphos-type ligands have been synthesized, structurally characterized, and tested in the rhodium-, ruthenium- and iridium-catalyzed hydrogenation of alkenes and ketones. Negishi coupling conditions allowed the biferrocene backbone of these diphosphine ligands to be built up diastereoselectively from the two nonidentical and nonracemic ferrocene fragments (R)-1-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethylferrocene and (SFc)-2- bromoiodoferrocene. The molecular structures of (SFc)-2- bromoiodoferrocene, the coupling product, two ligands, and the two complexes ([PdCl2(L)] and [RuCl(p-cymene)(L)]PF6) were determined by X-ray diffraction. The structural features of complexes and the catalysis results obtained with the newly synthesized biferrocene-based ligands were compared with those of the corresponding Walphos ligands.

- The nonchiral bislactim diethoxy ether as a highly stereo-inducing synthon for sterically hindered, γ-branched α-amino acids: A practical, large-scale route to an intermediate of the novel renin inhibitor aliskiren
-
The diastereoselective synthesis of the sterically hindered, γ-branched α-amino acid derivative (2S,4S)-24a and its N-[(tert-butoxy)carbonyl](Boc)-protected alcohol (2S,4S)-19, both key intermediates of a novel class of nonpeptide renin inhibitors such as aliskiren (1), is described. Initially, the analogous methyl ester (2S,4S)-17 was obtained by alkylation of the chiral Schoellkopf dihydropyrazine (R)-12a with the dialkoxy-substituted alkyl bromide (R)-11a, which proceeded with explicitly high diastereofacial selectivity (ds > 98%) to give (2S,SR,2′S)-13a (Scheme 4), followed by mild acid hydrolysis and N-Boc protection (Scheme 5). Conversely, the complete lack of stereocontrol and poor yields for the reaction of (R)-11a with the enantiomeric (S)-12b suggested, in addition to the anticipated shielding effect by the iPr group at C(2) of the auxiliary, steric repulsion between the MeO-C(6) and the bulky residues of (R)-11a in the proposed transition state, which would strongly disfavor both the Si and Re attack of the electrophile (see Fig.). Based on this rationale, alkylation of the readily accessible achiral diethoxy-dihydropyrazine 21 with (R)-11a was found to provide a 95:5 mixture of diastereoisomers (2S,2′S)-22a and (2R,2′S)-23a in high yield (Scheme 6), which afforded in two steps and after recrystallization enantiomerically pure (2S,4S)-24a. Similarly, the stereochemical course for the alkylation reactions of the related alkyl bromides (S)-28a and (R)-28b with both (R)-12a and (S)-12b as well as with the achiral 21 was investigated (Schemes 7-9). The precursor bromides (R)-11a, (S)-11b, (R)-28a, and (S)-28b were efficiently synthesized via the diastereoselective alkylation of the Evans 3-isovaleroyloxazolidin-2-ones (R)-7a and (S)-7b either with bromide 6 or with benzyl chloromethyl ether, and subsequent standard transformations (Schemes 3 and 7). A practical and economical protocol of the preparation of (2S,4S)-24a on a multi-100-g scale is given. This is the first report of the application of an achiral dihydropyrazine, i.e., in form of 21, as a highly stereo-inducing synthon providing rapid access to a N-protected γ-branched α-amino acid with (2S) absolute configuration.
