From Cyclic Peptoids to Peraza-macrocycles: A General Reductive Approach

Peraza-macrocycles form chelates of high thermodynamic and kinetic stability useful in diagnostic imaging (MRI, SPECT, PET), in coordination chemistry, and as catalysts. In this letter, we report an advantageous method to prepare these compounds via BHsu

Preparation of N-arylmethyl aziridine derivatives, 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane derivatives obtained therefrom and N-arylmethyl-ethanol-amine sulphonate esters as intermediates

PCT No. PCT/GB96/00552 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 2, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 2, 1997 PCT Filed Mar. 8, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/28420 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 19, 1996Aziridines may be subjected to a cyclooligomerization reaction to produce polyazacycloalkane compounds useful for example in the preparation of chelating agents for use in diagnostic imaging contrast agents. N-benzyl-aziridine in particular is useful as it can be cyclotetramerized and debenzylated to yield cyclen, a key intermediate in chelating agent preparation. The invention provides a particularly attractive route to production of N-benzyl and other N-arylmethyl aziridines of formula (I) where each R1 is independently hydrogen or a group AR and Ar is an optionally substituted phenyl group. The process comprises reacting a purified N-arylmethylethanolaminesulphonate ester with a base. N-arylmethyl-ethanolamine sulphonate ester of the formula R'NHCH2CH2OSO3H, wherein the N-arylmethyl group R' is an N-(bisarylmethyl) or N-(triarylmethyl) group, as intermediates. In a further aspect, the invention provides compounds of formula (II) where Ar and R1 are as hereinabove defined and at least two differing ArCHR21 moieties are present.
