Abstract

:
We describe a protocol developed for the preparation of β-enaminoketones derived from 1,3-cyclohexanediones, and their subsequent reduction by sodium in THF-isopropyl alcohol to afford cis- and trans-3-aminocyclohexanols.

1. Introduction

Amino alcohols are of great interest because of their biological and structural importance. For example, acyclic 1,3-amino alcohols are key structural components of numerous natural products [1,2,3,4,5,6], potent drugs [7,8], and components of numerous medicinal compounds such as HIV-protease inhibitors [9], μ-opioid receptor antagonists [10], potent antibiotic negamycin [11,12,13], serotonin reuptake inhibitor, and antidepressants [14]. Additionally, 1,3-amino alcohols are useful chiral building blocks in asymmetric synthesis functioning as chiral ligands and auxiliaries [15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23]. Despite their prevalence and the importance of acyclic 1,3-amino alcohols [24,25,26,27], there are only a few synthetic methods reported in the literature to access to this important class of compounds [28,29,30,31], and even fewer reports exist regarding the synthesis of 1,3-aminocyclohexanols [32,33,34]. We wish to report herein our results on the reduction of β-enaminoketones, leading to the synthesis of both cis- and trans-3-aminocyclohexanols.

2. Results and Discussion

Our method starts with the condensation reaction of 4,4-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione with either benzylamine or (S)-α-methylbenzylamine in toluene at reflux, conditions that lead to the β-enaminoketones 1 and 2 in 85 and 87% yield, respectively (Scheme 1) [35,36]. Both products were fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy and the stereochemistry was corroborated by their X-ray crystal structure [37] (Figure 1).

In a subsequent step, the reduction of β-enaminoketones 1 and 2 was carried out following a procedure described in the literature [38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45]. Thus, the reaction of 1 and 2 with sodium in a mixture of THF/isopropyl alcohol at room temperature afforded the corresponding diasteromeric mixture of amino alcohols 3 and 4 in 77 and 75% yield, respectively (Scheme 2).

A percolation of the reaction mixture followed by GC-MS analysis using a cyclosil-B chiral column revealed the presence of four major stereoisomers in identical ratio for compound 3 and two stereoisomers for compound 4 (cis and trans in 89:11 ratio). The diastereoisomeric separation of 3 was not attempted; however, column chromatography separation of 4 afforded the cis-4 and trans-4 in 69 and 6% yield, respectively.
Considering the X-ray structure of β-enaminoketone 2, a reasonable explanation of the high cis:trans diastereoselectivity in its reduction step can be explained assuming that the allyl anion A obtained by successive electron-transfers from the sodium to the conjugate system of enaminone, is the more stable conformation, because it avoids the interaction of C-10 or Ph with C2-H observed in conformation B. Thus, protonation with isopropyl alcohol of the corresponding allyl anion in the conformation A takes place selectively from the bottom-face, since the top-face is hindered by the methyl group (Figure 2).

Additionally, structural elucidation for cis-4 and trans-4 was accomplished through 1H- and 13C-NMR, as well as 2D NMR spectra like COSY, HSQC and NOESY. Spectra data for cis-4 and trans-4 are shown in Table 1. In the 1H-NMR spectra of compound cis-4, protons H1 and H3 exhibit a triplet of triplets multiplicity, with coupling constants of 11.2, 4.8 Hz and 11.6, 4.0 Hz, respectively. Analysis of these coupling constants confirms the axial disposition of both protons establishing then an equatorial distribution of the OH and NHR groups. Additionally, proton H2b presents a quadruple signal (J = 11.6 Hz) which determines its axial position whereas H2a is occupies an equatorial position. The multiplicity of H4a (ddt) shows three couplings constants 2J = 12.8 Hz, 3Jec/ax = 3.6 Hz and 4JH4a/H6a = 2 Hz, this scalar coupling establishes that H1 and H3 occupy axial positions (Figure 3).

The coupling pattern shown by compound cis-4 establishes a syn diequatorial distribution of the OH and NHR groups. A NOESY experiment (Figure 4) carried out on this compound, shows that H1 interacts with H3 and both protons are close to the equatorial H2a. In addition, H2b, H6b and H4b show dipolar couplings confirming the analysis of the coupling constants described previously.
The 1H-NMR spectra of the compound trans-4 displays similar data to those observed for the cis-4 stereoisomer, the main difference being the chemical shift for protons H2a, H2b, and H4a. On the other hand, its 13C-NMR data shows that C4 is shifted downfield by 2.0 ppm. This can be attributed to a lesser ring strain around this atom. In addition, the coupling pattern for proton H2a is different due to dihedral angles variations (Figure 5).

Compound trans-4 shows a triplet of triplets for the H1 and H3 protons (J = 11.8, 4.4 Hz and J = 11.6, 4.0 Hz respectively), which are similar to those observed for cis-4. However, in the NOESY experiment (Figure 6) these two protons do not interact spatially, suggesting an anti-arrangement of the hydroxyl and amino groups.

In order to establish the relative configuration at C-1 and C-3 of compound 4, we also carried out a NOESY experiment (Figure 7). If a chair conformation is considered for compound trans-4 (A), the fact that H3 has a dihedral angle below 60° with respect to H2a, H2b, H4a and H4b, would generate coupling constants with magnitude around ~3–5 Hz according to the Karplus rule, however, this is not observed in the spectrum of this compound.

These experimental data thus confirm that the compound trans-4 does not adopt a chair conformation as its isomer cis-4 does. Therefore, we carried out an additional NOESY experiment in order to establish the relative configurations at C-1 and C-3, analyzing the coupling constants and spatial interactions of the two possible conformations C and D (Table 2).

In conformation D, proton H3 shows a dihedral angle larger than 120° with H2a and H4a, this spatial arrangement exhibits coupling constants of ~12.0 Hz, and the coupling with H2b and H4b of 4.0 Hz. On the other hand the NOESY experiment shows the spatial proximity of H4b to both methyl groups at C5, and of proton H1 to both H2a and H6a. In addition the fact that proton H3 shows a proximity to H4b, suggests a boat conformation for compound trans-4. The shielding of H4a is caused by the proximity of the NHR substituent, the torsional effect and the steric hindrance of the boat conformation explains the variation of the chemical shift of C4 in comparison to that of compound cis-4.

3. Experimental

Reagents were obtained from commercial suppliers and were used without further purification. Melting points were determined in a Fischer-Johns apparatus and are uncorrected. NMR studies were carried out with a Varian Gemini 200 and Varian Inova 400 instruments using TMS as a standard (1H, 13C). Chemical shifts are stated in parts per million. IR spectra have been recorded on a Bruker Vector 22 FT spectrophotometer. The diastereoisomeric composition were determined by GC-MS on the HP 5989A, Cyclosil-B column, 30 m, 0.25 mm (ID), 0.25 μm (film), transfer line 220 °C, injection 220 °C, and HRMS in Jeol JMS 700 equipment. X-ray diffraction studies were performed on a Bruker-APEX diffractometer with a CCD area detector at 100 K (λMoKα = 0.71073 A, monochromator: graphite). Specific rotations were measured in a Perkin-Elmer 341 polarimeter at room temperature and λ = 589 nm.

3.2. General Procedure for the Reduction of β-Enaminoketones 1 and 2

The β-enaminoketones (2.0 mmol) were dissolved in a mixture of isopropyl alcohol (2 mL) and THF (5 mL). The resulting solution was treated with an excess of small pieces of metallic sodium (0.27 g, 12.0 g-atoms) and stirred from 0 °C to room temperature until the reaction was complete (TLC). After removal of the unreacted sodium, the reaction mixture was poured into a saturated aqueous solution of NH4Cl and extracted with AcOEt. The organic layers were combined, dried over Na2SO4 filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting materials were submitted to an initial percolation and then were submitted to HPLC-MS analysis. The materials were separated by column chromatography (silica gel, 230–400) eluting with 65:25:10 proportions of hexane/ethyl acetate/isopropyl alcohol or 95:5, CH2Cl2/CH3OH.

4. Conclusions

In conclusion, 1,3-amino alcohols 3 and 4 were obtained as diastereoisomeric mixtures in good yield by reduction of the corresponding β-enaminoketones 1 and 2, which were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry using a chiral column. Two diastereomeric pairs were identified for compound 3 and two diasteromeric pairs, cis-4 and trans 4, for compound 4. Chromatographic techniques allowed the separation of cis-4 and trans-4. On the other hand, NMR NOESY experiments enabled us to establish a chair conformation and a syn-orientation of the hydroxyl and amino groups for cis-4 and a boat conformation with anti-orientation of the hydroxyl and amino groups for trans-4.
