An automated process research approach to reaction optimization was developed. Chemical process research can be greatly accelerated by coupling automated synthesis equipment with statistical design of experiments (DoE). With the use of an automated process approach, multiple experiments can be performed in parallel on an automated platform, and multiple parameters that may influence process performance can be examined within one set of experiments generated from statistical design. We have successfully applied an automated process research approach to optimize the Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction that was used in our total synthesis of (+)-calanolide A, a potential anti-HIV agent currently in clinical trials. The in situ yield for a coumarin product was successfully optimized, increasing from 70% to 97% by HPLC analysis.

, (2008/06/13)
A method of preparing (+/-)-calanolide A, 1, a potent HIV reverse transcriptase inhibitor, from chromene 4 is provided. Useful intermediates for preparing (+/-)-calanolide A and its derivatives are also provided. According to the disclosed method, chromene 4 intermediate was reacted with acetaldehyde diethyl acetal or paraldehyde in the presence of an acid catalyst with heating, or a two-step reaction including an aldol reaction with acetaldehyde and cyclization either under acidic conditions or neutral Mitsunobu conditions, to produce chromanone 7. Reduction of chromanone 7 with sodium borohydride, in the presence of cerium trichloride, produced (+/-)-calanolide A. A method for resolving (+/-)-calanolide A into its optically active forms by a chiral HPLC system or by enzymatic acylation and hydrolysis is also disclosed. Finally, a method for treating or preventing a viral infections using (+/-)-calanolide or (-)-calanolide is provided.

, (2008/06/13)
A method of preparing (+)-calanolide A, 1, a potent HIV reverse transcriptase inhibitor, from chromene 4 is provided. According to the disclosed method, chromene 4 intermediate was subjected to a chlorotitanium-mediated aldol reaction with acetaldehyde to selectively produce (±)-8a. Separation and enzyme-mediated resolution of (±)-8a produced (+)-8a. Cyclization of (+)-8a under neutral Mitsunobu conditions followed by Luche reduction of (+)-7 produced (+)-calanolide A in high yield and enantiomeric purity. The method of the invention has been extended to produce potent antiviral calanolide A analogues.

The anti-HIV agent (±)-calanolide A (1) has been synthesized in a five- step approach starting with phloroglucinol [→ 5 → 6 → 11 → 18 → (±)- 1], which includes Pechmann reaction, Friedel-Crafts acylation, chromenylation with 4,4-dimethoxy-2-methylbutan-2-ol, cyclization, and Luche reduction. Cyclization of chromene 11 to chromanone 18 was achieved by employing either acetaldehyde diethyl acetal or paraldehyde in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid and pyridine or PPTS. Luche reduction of chromanone 18 at lower temperature preferably yielded (±)-1. Reduction of chromone 12, synthesized by Kostanecki-Robinson reaction from chromene 11, failed to afford (±)-1. The synthetic (±)-1 has been chromatographically resolved into its optically active forms, (+)- and (-)-1. The anti-HIV activities for synthetic (±)-1, as well as resultant (+)- and (-)-1, have been determined. Only (+)-1 accounted for anti-HIV activity, which was similar to the data reported for the natural product, and (-)-1 was inactive.
