As with many disubstituted furoxans, they are synthesized via the dimerization of the appropriate nitrile oxide. Past procedures to form DFD involve low-yield destructive nitrations, multiple steps, halogenated solvents, or heavy or precious metals. Although these methods are functional enough for lab-scale preparations of DFD, they do not hold up well for economical scale-up. Our reported procedure improves the synthesis of DFD such that it is available from economical and commercially available starting materials in a single-step, one-pot, high-yield (98.5%) synthesis of material with a trivial workup in high purity (98.2% by <sup>1</sup>H quantitative NMR against a 2,4,6-trimethoxy-1,3,5-triazene standard). This improved procedure requires no organic solvents or heavy metals and is the most scalable preparation for this material to date.","PeriodicalId":55,"journal":{"name":"Organic Process Research & Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142317778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An investigation involving 22 different amines presents evidence underpinning the role of dichloromethane (DCM) in forming formaldehyde. Additionally, control experiments combined with existing knowledge on the reactivity of DCM with amine nucleophiles provide a mechanistic discussion on the generation of formaldehyde via known adducts from the reaction between amines, dichloromethane, and water. Finally, a case study involving a key intermediate of a drug candidate under investigation at Bristol Myers Squibb demonstrates the impact of residual DCM-derived formaldehyde in amine starting material on the formation of a daughter impurity during an amidation step.","PeriodicalId":55,"journal":{"name":"Organic Process Research & Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142317779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We found that incorporating amino linkers, specifically the <i>trans</i>-4-hydroxy-<span>l</span>-prolinol backbone, leads to the formation of specific difficult-to-remove impurities. To address these issues, we recommend preloading the linker onto the solid-phase carrier to prevent the generation of phosphoramide impurities. Additionally, using a scavenger during the cleavage and deprotection steps is suggested to minimize unwanted reactions. A significant finding is the crucial role of triethylamine in the washing steps, where increasing its amount effectively prevents the formation of acrylonitrile and acetylation adducts. Through a series of experiments, we have identified the causes of these impurities and proposed strategies for their mitigation. These strategies ensure the efficient synthesis of oligonucleotides with improved purity, enhancing their potential for broader applications in biomedical research and biotechnology.","PeriodicalId":55,"journal":{"name":"Organic Process Research & Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142306299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
