Obtenção de compostos intermediários para a síntese do agente anti-HIV Tenofovir, e de derivados do D-manitol

Abstract

In this study we investigated the resolution of rac-1,2-propanediol and rac-2,3- isopropylidene glycerol using chiral amines (R)- and (S)-1-phenylethylamine (27). The alcohols are esterified to form hemi-phthalates, and treated with the enantiomers of 27 resulting in the following salts (R)-27.(±)-52 and (S)-27.(±)-52 in good yields. However, salts (R)-27.(±)-33 and (S)-27.(±)-33 did not form crystalline material. In addition we studied the resolution of (±)-14 and (±)-31 through the use of amino acids benzyl esters and brucine as auxiliaries. Attempts to obtain the benzyl ester of L-tryptophan (59) were negative; attempts to obtain benzyl esters of Lphenylalanine (58) and L-lysine (57) were also negative. In the case of brucine (35) there was no noticeable diastereoisomeric enrichment during repeated crystallizations. As an extension to this, we performed dehydration of D-mannitol (40) in an acid medium. Modifications of the published method resulted in obtaining a new derivative, the 2,5-anhydro-1,3-O-benzyl-D-mannitol (81) whose structure was established via x-ray study.
