Facile synthesis of 4-substituted-4-aminopiperidine derivatives, the key building block of piperazine-based CCR5 antagonists.
4-Substituted-4-aminopiperidine is an interesting structural motif found in a number of bioactive compounds. An efficient and convenient method for the synthesis of 4-differently substituted-4-aminopiperidine derivatives was described, employing isonipecotate as a starting material and Curtius rearrangement as a key step. The alkylation of isonipecotate could introduce various substituents at the 4-position of the piperidine ring. With this key building block, we are able to efficiently synthesize piperazino-piperidine based CCR5 antagonist in a highly convergent manner free of using toxic reagents such as diethylaluminum cyanide. The concise synthesis of a potent bioavailable CCR5 antagonist as HIV-1 entry inhibitor, Sch-350634 (1) was accomplished in excellent yield using N'-Boc-4-methyl-4-aminopiperidine 5a as a smart building block. The new methodology provides a facile and practical access to the piperazino-piperidine amide analogs as HIV-1 entry inhibitors.
