Abstract
Herein, we describe the stereoselective synthesis of delgocitinib and its diastereomer. Delgocitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, is characterized by a diaza-spirocyclic structure consisting of pyrrolidine and azetidine rings. The organocatalyzed Michael addition of propanal with fumarate or maleimide facilitated the formation of contiguous tertiary stereogenic centers, leading to the stereoselective production of each diastereomer. Intramolecular C–H amination reactions introduced a nitrogen atom on one of the tertiary carbons, and subsequent azetidine formation constructed the spirocyclic system.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
