  • Publication number: 20230357286
    Abstract: Provided are new nickel./zirconium-mediated coupling reactions useful in the synthesis of ketone-containing compounds, e.g., halichondrin natural products and related molecules. A feature of the present disclosure is the use of a nickel(I) catalyst in tandem with a nickel (II) catalyst in the Ni/Zr-mediated coupling reactions. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the nickel (I) catalyst selectively activates the electrophilic coupling partner (i.e., the compound of Formula (A)), and the nickel(ll) catalyst selectively activates the nucleophilic coupling partner (i.e., a thioester of Formula (B)). This dual catalyst system leads to improved coupling efficiency and eliminates the need for a large excess of one of the coupling partners (i.e., a compound of Formula (A) or (B)).

  • Patent number: 11220513
    Abstract: The present invention provides unified synthesis of the C1-C19 building blocks of halichondrins and analogs thereof using selective coupling of poly-halogenated nucleophiles in chromium-mediated coupling reactions. The present invention also provides a practical and efficient synthesis of C20-C38 building blocks of halichondrins and analogs thereof. Also provided herein are general methods of selective activation and coupling of poly-halogenated analogs with an aldehyde. The provided coupling reactions are selective for halo-enone and halo-acetylenic ketal over vinyl halide and halide attached to a sp hybridized carbon. The provided efficient selective coupling reactions can allow easy access to the C1-C19 building blocks and C20-C38 building blocks of halichondrins and analogs thereof with limited or no purification or separation of the intermediates.

  • Patent number: 11155562
    Abstract: The present invention provides halichondrin analogs, such as compounds of Formula (I). The compounds may bind to microtubule sites, thereby inhibiting microtubule dynamics. Also provided are methods of synthesis, pharmaceutical compositions, kits, methods of treatment, and uses that involve the compounds for treatment of a proliferative disease (e.g., cancer). Compounds of the present invention are particularly useful for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, and sarcoma. The included methods of synthesis are useful for the preparation of compounds of Formula (I)-(III) along with naturally occurring halicondrins (e.g., halichondrin B & C, norhalichondrin A, B, & C, and homohalichondrin A, B, & C). Also included are methods for interconverting between the halichondrins, norhalichondrins, and homohalichondrins and their unnatural epimers at the C38 ketal stereocenter through the use of an acid-mediated equilibration.
