After protection of 4-bromobenzaldehyde (I) with triethyl orthoformate in MeOH, the resultant bromo ketal (II) was converted to the corresponding Grignard reagent (III) with magnesium in THF. Conjugate addition of (III) to the steroid epoxide (IV) in the presence of CuCl gave rise to the 11-beta-aryl steroid (V). Introduction of a 17-spiro oxirane moiety into ketone (V) to yield (VI) was accomplished by reaction with the sulfur ylide generated from trimethylsulfonium iodide and potassium tert-butoxide. Subsequent epoxide opening in (VI) with NaOMe gave rise to the methoxy alcohol (VII), which was further alkylated with iodomethane under Williamson's ether synthesis conditions to provide the dimethoxy derivative (VIII). Acid hydrolysis of both ketal groups of (VIII) with concomitant alcohol dehydration led to the dienone (IX). The aldehyde function of (IX) was finally converted to the target oxime by treatment with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in pyridine.

1) The reaction of 4-bromobenzaldehyde (I) with trimethylorthoformate (II) and p-toluenesulfonic acid in methanol gives ketal (III), which is condensed with 2-pyridylmagnesium bromide in THF, yielding 4-(2-pyridyl)benzaldehyde (IV). The reaction of (IV) with tert-butyl carbazate (V) in refluxing ethanol affords hydrazone (VI), which is reduced with H2 over Pd/C in methanol to the hydrazine (VII). The condensation of (VII) with the epoxide (VIII) in hot isopropanol gives the expected addition product (IX), which by treatment with HCl or formic acid results in the fully deprotected intermediate (X). Finally, this compound is condensed with N-(methoxycarbonyl)-L-tert-leucine (XI) by means of O-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-1-pyridyl)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TPTU) in dichloromethane or DMF.

Condensation of 4-bromobenzaldehyde (I) with 4-fluorophenol (II) in the presence of K2CO3 in refluxing dimethylacetamide gave ether (III). Subsequent reductive amination of (III) with cycloheptylamine (IV) using ethanolic NaBH4 afforded secondary amine (V). Phenyl carbamate (VIII) was obtained by treatment of aminopyridine (VI) with phenyl chloroformate (VII) and dimethylaniline. Condensation of this carbamate with amine (V) in the presence of Et3N in refluxing toluene furnished urea (IX) (1). Both sulfide groups of (IX) were finally oxidized to sulfone using meta-chloroperbenzoic acid in CH2Cl2.

Subsequent reductive amination of (III) with cycloheptylamine (IV) using ethanolic NaBH4 afforded secondary amine (V). Phenyl carbamate (VIII) was obtained by treatment of aminopyridine (VI) with phenyl chloroformate (VII) and dimethylaniline.

Palladium-catalyzed coupling of 4-bromobenzaldehyde (I) with methyl acrylate (II) furnished methyl 4-formylcinnamate (III). After aldehyde protection as the ethylene acetal (IV), ester group reduction using DIBAL in cold CH2Cl2 gave rise to the cinnamyl alcohol (V). O-Alkylation of (V) with ethyl iodide in the presence of NaH produced the corresponding ethyl ether (VI). The acetal protecting group of (VI) was then hydrolyzed with HCl to yield aldehyde (VII).

Suzuki coupling between 4-bromobenzaldehyde (XII) and 4-trifluoromethylbenzeneboronic acid (XIII) produced the biphenyl compound (XIV). The reductive amination of aldehyde (XIV) with N,N-diethyl ethylenediamine (XV) gave diamine (XVI) (1). This was finally coupled with the intermediate carboxylic acid (XI) to afford the title amide.

The cyclization of 4-bromobenzaldehyde (I) with butanedione monooxime (II) by means of HCl in acetic acid gives 2-(4-bromophenyl)-4,5-dimethyloxazole N-oxide (III), which is chlorinated with POCl3 in refluxing chloroform to yield the chloromethyl derivative (IV). The reaction of (IV) with KCN and KI in hot DMF affords the cyanomethyl compound (V), which is hydrolyzed with KOH in water/2-methoxyethanol to provide the acetic acid derivative (VI). The reduction of (VI) with BH3/THF in THF gives the ethanol intermediate (VII), which is condensed with phenylboronic acid (VIII) by means of PPh3 and Pd(OAc)2 in propanol to yield the biphenyl derivative (IX). The reaction of the OH group of (IX) with tosyl anhydride in dichloromethane affords the tosylate (X), which is condensed with 2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)-2-methylpropionic aid ethyl ester (XI) by means of Cs2CO3 in hot DMF to provide the ethyl ester precursor (XII). Finally, this compound is hydrolyzed with NaOH in methanol/water to obtain the target propionic acid.

Suzuki coupling between 4-bromobenzaldehyde (XI) and 4-trifluoromethylbenzeneboronic acid (XII) affords the biphenylyl aldehyde (XIII). This is then reductively aminated with N,N-diethylethylenediamine (XIV) and NaBH4 to produce diamine (XV) (1,3). Finally, coupling between amine (XV) and carboxylic acid (VIII) leads to the title carboxamide

合成路线9

The esterification of 4-formylcinnamic acid (I) with methanol and HCl gives the methyl ester (II), which can be obtained by Heck coupling of 4-bromobenzaldehyde (III) with methyl acrylate (IV). The reductocondensation of (II) with tryptamine (V) by means of NaBH(OAc)3 in dichloroethane yields the secondary amine (VI), which is alkylated with 2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl bromide (VII) by means of DIEA in DMSO to afford the tertiary amine (VIII). The reaction of the methyl ester group of (VIII) with KOH and hydroxylamine in methanol provides the silylated hydroxamic acid (IX), which is finally deprotected with TFA in water.
