Page/Page column 7, (2018/03/28)
The present invention relates to a method for the stereo-selective production of pentostatin comprising an enzymatic transglycosylation reaction between 6,7-dihydroimidazo-[4,5-d]-[1,3]diazepin-8(3H)-one and a 2'-deoxyribonucleoside, followed by an ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation.

Methods and compositions are provided for efficiently preparing and manufacturing pentostatin. Also provided are novel precursors of pentostatin, pentostatin analogs and derivatives. In one aspect of the invention, a method is provided for total chemical synthesis of pentostatin via a route of heterocyclic ring expansion. For example, a heterocyclic pharmaceutical intermediate for drugs such as pentostatin, e.g., the diazepinone precursor, can be obtained efficiently through a ring expansion of an O-C-N functionality in a hypoxanthine or 2'-deoxyinosine derivative. The methods and compositions can also be used to synthesize and manufacture heterocyclic compounds other than pentostatin, especially pharmaceutically important heterocyclic compounds.
