`
`Scheme 1-10 illustrate methods of synthesizing compoundsof the formula |.
`
`Referring to Scheme1, the starting material of formula Ill is reacted with trifluoroacetic
`
`anhydride,
`
`in the presence of pyridine, to form the compound of formula IV This reaction is
`
`typically conducted in methylene chloride at a temperature from about 0°C to about room
`
`temperature.
`
`10
`
`The compound of formula IV is then converted into the dinitro derivative of formula IIA
`
`by the following process. The compound ofthe formula IV is added to a mixture of 4 or more
`
`equivalents oftrifluoromethanesulfonic acid (CF;50,0H) and 2 to 3 equivalents ofnitric acid, in
`
`a chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent such as chloroform, dichoroethane (DCE) or methylene
`chloride. The resulting mixture is allowed to react for about 5 to 24 hours. Both of the foregoing
`reactions are generally conducted at a temperature ranging from about -78°C to about O°C for
`
`15
`
`about 2 hours, and then allowed to warm to room temperature for the remaining time.
`
`Reduction of the compound offormuia IIA, using methods well known to thoseofskill in
`
`the art. yields the compound of formula IIB This reduction can be accampiished, for example,
`
`using hydrogen and a palladium catalyst such as palladium hydroxide and running the reaction
`in methanol at about room temperature.
`
`20
`
`Referring ta Scheme 2, the compoundof formula IIA is converted into the corresponding
`compound wherein the tnfluoroacety! protecting group !s replaced by a t-Boc protecting group
`(VIA) by reacting it first with an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal (or ammonium) hydroxide or
`carbonate, and then reacting the isolated product
`from the foregoing reaction with di-t-
` butyldicarbonate. The reaction with the alkali or alkaline earth metal (or ammonium) hydroxide
`
`25
`
`or carbonate ts generally carned out in an aqueous alcohol, dioxane or tetrahydrofuran (THF) at
`
`a temperature from about room temperature to about 70°C, preferably at about 70°C, for about
`
`one to about 24 hours. The reaction of the isolated, unprotected amine or an acid addition salt of
`
`such amine, from the above reaction with di-t-butyldicarbonate 1s preferably carned out in a
`
`
`
`30=solvent such as THF, dioxane or methylene chloride at a ternperature from about 0°C to about
`
`raom temperature This reaction may or may not be conducted in the presence of a base.
`
`Whenthe reactantis a salt of the amine, use of a base is preferred The resuiting compound of
`
`formula VIA can be converted into the corresponding diamino derivative of formula VIB using the
`
`procedure described above for converting the dinitro compound of formula JIA into the
`
`35
`
`corresponding diamino compound of formuia IIB.
`
`The conversion of the compound of formula VIB into the desired compound of the
`formula Vil can be accomplished by reacting the compoundof formula VIB with a compound of
`the formula
