Drugs Fut 1997, 22, 9, 956出处Drugs Fut1997,22,(9):956备注Synthesis Atorvastatin calcium has been obtained by several different ways: 1) The condensation of 2-(1,3-dixolan-2-yl)ethylam

11、ine (I) with ethyl 2-bromo-2-(4-fluorophenyl)acetate (II) by means of triethylamine in acetonitrile gives ethyl 2-2-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)ethylamino-2-(4-fluorophenyl)acetate (III), which is acylated with isobutyryl chloride (IV) and triethylamine in dichloromethane yielding the corresponding amide (V)

12、. Saponification of the ester (V) with NaOH in methanol/water affords the free acid (VI), which is cyclized with N,3-diphenylpropynamide (VII) obtained in the reaction of 3-phenylpropynoic acid (VIII) with aniline (IX) by means of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) by heating at 90 癈 in acetic anhydride

13、 giving 1-2-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)ethyl-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-isopropyl-N,4 -diphenylpyrrole-3-carboxamide (X). The hydrolysis of the dioxolane group of (X) with HCl yields the corresponding aldehyde (XI), which is condensed with methyl acetoacetate (XII) by means of NaH in THF affording 7-2-(4-fluoroph

14、enyl)-5-isopropyl-3-phenyl-4-(N-phenylcarbamoyl)pyrrol -1-yl-5-hydroxy-3-oxoheptanoic acid methyl ester (XIII). The reduction of the carbonyl group of (XIII) with tributylborane and NaBH4 in THF gives the (3R*,5R*)-dihydroxy ester (XIV), which is saponified with NaOH in water yielding the correspond

15、ing free acid (XV). The lactonization of (XV) by heating in refluxing toluene affords the (R*,R*)-lactone (XVI) (1, 2), which is submitted to optical resolution by reaction with (R)-1-phenylethylamine (XVII) followed by fractional crystallization thus obtaining the amide (XVII) as the pure (R,R,R)-e

16、nantiomer. The hydrolysis of the amide (XVIII) with NaOH, followed by heating in refluxing toluene gives the (R,R)-lactone (XIX) (2, 3), which is finally treated first with NaOH in methanol/water, and then with CaCl2 or calcium acetate (3, 4). 2) The condensation of the already described aldehyde (X

17、I) with (S)-(+)-2-acetoxy-1,1,2-triphenylethanol (XX) by means of lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) in THF gives 5-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-isopropyl-3-phenyl-4-(N-phenylcarbamoyl)pyrrol -1-yl-3(R)-hydroxypentanoic acid 2-hydroxy-1(S),2,2-triphenylethyl ester (XXI), which is trans-esterified with sodium me

18、thoxide in methanol/THF yielding the expected methyl ester (XXII). The condensation of (XXII) with tert-butyl acetate (XXIII) by means of LDA in THF affords (R)-7-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-isopropyl-3-phenyl-4-(N-phenylcarbamoyl) pyrrol-1-yl-5-hydroxy-3-oxoheptanoic acid tert-butyl ester (XXIV), which is

19、 reduced with triethylborane and NaBH4 in THF, hydrolyzed with NaOH, lactonized by heating in refluxing toluene and finally submitted to fractional crystallization in order to separate the two diastereomers of the obtained lactone, (R,R) and (R,S) (2, 3). The (R,R)-diastereomer (XIX), already obtain

20、ed, is finally treated with NaOH and then with CaCl2 (2-4). 3) The condensation of 4-cyano-3(R)-hydroxybutyric acid ethyl ester (XXV) with N,N-diphenylacetamide (R1 = R2 = Ph in XXVI) by means of LDA in THF gives 6-cyano-5(R)-hydroxy-3-oxo-N,N-diphenylhexanamide (XXVII), which is reduced with diethy

21、lmethoxyborane and NaBH4 in THF yielding 6-cyano-3(R),5(R)-dihydroxy-N,N-diphenylhexanamide (XXVIII). The protection of the two OH groups of (XXVIII) with acetone dimethylketal (XXIX) and methanesulfonic acid affords the 1,3-dioxane (XXX), which by reduction of its CN group by hydrogenation with H2

22、over RaNi in methanol/liquid ammonia gives (4R,6R)-2-6-(2-aminoethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-4-yl-N,N -diphenylacetamide (XXXI). The cyclization of (XXXI) with 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-isobutyryl-4-oxo-N-phenylbutyramide (XXXII) (its synthesis is in section 6, Scheme 4) in refluxing toluene yields the

23、protected dihydroxyheptanamide (XXXIII), which is deprotected with HCl in methanol to afford (3R,5R)-7-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-isopropyl-3-phenyl-4-(N -phenylcarbamoyl)pyrrol-1-yl-3,5-dihydroxy-N,N-diphenylheptanamide (XXXIV). Finally, this compound is hydrolyzed with NaOH and treated with calcium acet

24、ate in water (5). Scheme 18007203a. 4) The preceding reaction pathway can be repeated using other substituents for R1 and R2 in acetamide (XXVI) such as R1 = R2 = CH2Ph; R1 = R2 = Et; R1 = Bu, R2 = Me; R1 = t-Bu, R2 = CH2Ph; R1,R2 = -(CH2)5- (5). 5) The hydrolysis of methyl (Et or Bu) 3(R)-(tert-but

25、yldimethylsilyloxy)-4-cyanobutyrate (XXV) with NaOH gives the corresponding free acid (XXXVI), which is condensed with malonic acid mono-tert-butyl ester magnesium salt (XXXVII) by means of carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) yielding tert-butyl 5(R)-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-6-cyano-3-oxohexanoate (XXXVII

26、I). The desilylation of (XXXVIII) with tetrabutylammonium fluoride in acetic acid affords the expected hydroxylated ketoester (XXXIX), which is reduced with diethylmethoxyborane and NaBH4 in methanol giving tert-butyl 6-cyano-3(R),5(R)-dihydroxyhexanoate (XL). The protection of the two OH groups of

27、(XL) with acetone dimethylketal (XXIX) and methanesulfonic acid affords the 1,3-dioxane (XLI) (6), which by reduction of its CN group by hydrogenation with H2 over Pd/C gives intermediate (4R,6R)-2-6-(2-aminoethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-4-ylacetic acid tert-butyl ester (XLII). The cyclization of (

28、XLII) with 4-(4-fluorophenyl-2-isobutyryl-4-oxo-N-phenylbutyramide (XXXII) in refluxing toluene yields the protected dihydroxyheptanoate (XLIII), which is deprotected with HCl in methanol and finally hydrolyzed with NaOH and treated with calcium acetate in water (7). 8) The synthesis of the 4-(4-flu

29、orophenyl)-2-isobutyryl-4-oxo-N-phenylbutyramide (XXXII) is carried out as follows: The condensation of 4-methyl-3-oxo-N-phenylpentanamide (XLIV) with benzaldehyde (XLV) gives 2-benzylidene-4-methyl-3-oxo-N-phenylpentanamide (XLVI), which is then condensed with 4-fluorobenzaldehyde (XLVII) by means

30、of triethylamine in hot ethanol (7). 6) The (4R,6R)-2-6-(cyanomethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-4-ylacetic acid tert-butyl ester (XLI) can also be obtained by reaction of (4R,6R)-2-6-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-4-ylacetic acid tert-butyl ester (XLVIII) with tosyl chloride to give the corr

31、esponding tosylate (XVIX), which is then treated with NaCN (6). 7) The tert-butyl 6-cyano-5(R)-hydroxy-3-oxohexanoate (XXXIX) can also be obtained by condensation of methyl 4-cyano-3(R)-hydroxybutyrate (L) with tert-butyl acetate (XXIII) by means of LDA in THF (6). 8) The synthesis of the 4-(4-fluor

32、ophenyl)-2-isobutyryl-4-oxo-N-phenylbutyramide (XXXII) is carried out as follows: The condensation of 4-methyl-3-oxo-N-phenylpentanamide (XLIV) with benzaldehyde (XLV) gives 2-benzylidene-4-methyl-3-oxo-N-phenylpentanamide (XLVI), which is then condensed with 4-fluorobenzaldehyde (XLVII) by means of

33、 triethylamine in hot ethanol (7). 9) The cyclization of (XXXII) with intermediate (XLII) (preceding synthesis) in refluxing toluene yields the protected dehydroxyheptanoate (XLIII), which is deprotected with HCl in methanol and finally hydrolyzed with NaOH and treated with calcium acetate in water.
