Methods for synthesizing substituted tetracycline compounds

摘要

Methods for synthesizing a carboxaldehyde substituted tetracycline compound comprising reacting a tetracycline reactive intermediate under appropriate conditions with carbon monoxide, a palladium catalyst, a phosphine ligand, a silane and a base, such that said carboxaldehyde substituted tetracycline compound is synthesized. The palladium catalyst is chosen from PdCl2 (tBu2PhP)2 dichlorobis (di-tert-butylphenylphosphine palladium (II)] or PdCl2 (DPEPhos) [bis (diphenylphosphinophenyl) ether palladium (II) chloride]. The tetracycline reactive intermediate contains moieties selected from halogens and triflates. Methods of synthesizing a substituted tetracycline compound comprising reacting the carboxaldehyde substituted tetracycline compound under palladium catalyzed coupling conditions, hydrogenolysis conditions or reductive amination conditions.
