Background Information Lavendamycin (1), a naturally occurring compound produced by the soil bacterium Streptomyces lavendulae, was first isolated and described in 1981 by Doyle and associates at Bristol Laboratories. 1 The similarity in structure of lavendamycin and a known antitumor/antibiotic, streptonigrin (2), was noted. The two compounds also displayed similar biological activities, with lavendamycin showing limited antimicrobial action and significant activity against ras k leukemia cells in mice. 2 o MeO COOH H2N COOH H2N 0 CH 3 CH 3 1 2 OMe Figure 1: Lavendamycin and Streptonigrin The prospect of anti-tumor activity, coupled with the extreme difficulty in isolating the natural product, sparked several research groups to begin efforts at a total synthesis of lavendamycin. In 1984, Kende and Ebetino were the first to report synthesis of lavendamycin methyl ester. 3 • 4 Their synthesis pathway used a Friedlander condensation to produce the A-B ring portion and a Bischler-Napierski cyclodehydration to complete the five-ring system. This was followed in 1985 by Hibino reporting the synthesis of lavendamycin methyl ester by first constructing the complete ring system with a Pictet-Spengler condensation between a quinoline analog and ~-methyl tryptophan, followed by several steps to functionalize the five ring system. 5 Also in 1985 Boger reported a complicated synthesis involving twenty steps with an overall yield less than 1%.6 Then in 1993, Behforouz reported a synthesis of only five steps to an overall yield of 33%.7 This five step route involved a Diels-Alder condensation to produce the A-B ring system, along with a Pictet-Spengler condensation similar to that - reported by Hibino, with all functionalizations occurring before the Pictet-Spengler condensation. Behforouz then improved on the method in 5 - 1996, producing lavendamycin methyl ester in six steps with a yield of 40%, this time using 8-hydroxyquinaldine as the starting material and avoiding the Diels-Alder condensation. B • 9 Since 1993, Behforouz's group has been conducting a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study on analogs of lavendamycin in order to better understand the mechanism of these compounds in biological activity. II. Synthesis of Lavendamycin Analogs The potent antitumor capacity of both lavendanmycin and streptonigrin was originally overshadowed by their high toxici ty 2,10.11 and lavendamycin's low solubility in pharmaceutical solvents. 1 An SAR study of lavendamycin analogs allows researchers to select for more soluble analogs and search for compounds with more selective cytotoxicity. cleavage 12 , Quinones often are highly cytotoxic, resulting in DNA and many have shown anti-cancer potential. It has also been suggested that the quinone toxicity is due to effects on the electron transport system in mitochondria. 13-17 In hopes of gaining a better understanding of these mechanisms and possibly discovering a useful chemotherapeutic agent, Behforouz and his group at Ball State University began an SAR study on lavendamycin analogs, using the five step syntheses reported in 1993 and 1996. It is the concise and practical nature of these synthesis routes that has allowed the SAR study to take place. In 1993 7 (Scheme 1a) Behforouz reported the use of a Diels-Alder condensation between the bromoquinone (3) and the azadiene (4), to produce the quinolinedione (5) portion of lavendamycin. Oxidation of the methyl group on the quinolinedione provided the aldehyde (6) used in a Pictet-Spengler condensation with ~-methyl tryptophan methyl ester (7) to produce 7-N-acetyllavendamycin methyl ester (8), which was then hydrolyzed to give the final product (9). 6 0 + 1 CeHsCI heat b-~ AcHN • W N~ CH 3 0 5 4 3 ~ + ACHNVN~HO o Xyfene Reflux 7 6 AcHN .. 600 • Scheme 1a 10 11 10 ACHNV~CH3 o 5 138: R=OH 13b: R=OAc Scheme 1b In 1996 8 ,9 Behforouz modified the method (Scheme 1b) and increased the yield from 33% to 40% by using 8-hydroxyquinaldine (10) as starting 7 In 1996 8 ,9 Behforouz modified the method (Scheme 1b) and increased the yield from 33% to 40% by using 8-hydroxyquinaldine (10) as starting material for the A-B portion of the ring system, and thus avoiding the relatively low-yield Diels-Alder reaction. It is this improved method that has been used for the research presented in this thesis. IV. 7-N-acetyllavendamycin esters It has been discovered in the SAR study that the 7-N-acetyl analogs of lavendamycin proved a much more selective toxicity against the rask tumor cells than the amino counterparts. 18 The 7-N-acetyl compound 8 displayed 9-fold selectivity against the tumor cells compared to the much lower O.S-fold selectivity displayed by 9. Because the 7-N-acetyl analogs are more selective and are produced in one less step than the amino counterpart, the target molecule for this project was chosen to be a 7-N-acetyl analog. V. Total Synthesis: A. 7-N-Acetyl-6-ethyl-lavendamycin methyl ester The key reaction in Behforouz's synthesis route to lavendamycin analogs is the Pictet-Spengler condensation of a formylquinolinedione and a tryptophan. The novel work presented in this thesis involves new functionalization on the quinolinedione portion of the lavendamycin molecule. The final product, 7-N-acetyl-6-ethyl-lavendamycin methyl ester was produced as follows. 8-hydroxyquinaldine (lO), available commercially, was nitrated with a 70:30 mixture of concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids. The reaction was quite exothermic, so an ice bath was used to maintain room temperature. The hydroxy group on the 8-hydroxyquinaldine acts as an ortho-para director, and the nitrogen on the opposite ring deactivates the positions on that ring, so the nitro groups are added only ortho and para to the hydroxy group. 8 - The resulting yellow 5,7-dinitro-8-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline (11) was then hydrogenated using a Parr hydrogenator. The dinitro is mixed with 5% Pd-C and a 10% HCI solution, and shaken under H2 at 30 psi for 20 hours to give the dark red dihydrochloride salt 12. amino group, This salt, which protects the sensitive is not isolated, but is reacted immediately with sodium sulfite, sodium acetate, and a slow addition of acetic anhydride to give the diacetamido compound 13. The reaction proceeds by nucleophilic attack of the amino groups to the carbonyl carbons in the acetic anhydride. There was possibly a mixture of the hydroxy and acetoxy groups at the 8 position, but these do not need to be separated as they do not affect the next step. This white acetoxy/hydroxy mixture was then oxidized with K2Cr207 in acetic acid solution, extracted with dichloromethane, and neutralized with 5% NaHC0 3 to give the bright yellow quinolinedione 5. - The mechanism for this reaction is unknown. The remainder of the steps in the synthesis can be seen in Scheme 2. Compound 5 was reacted with a 1M diethylaluminum cyanide/toluene solution to give, surprisingly, a major product of the ethylated compound 14. This most likely occurred by way of a 1,4-Michael addition, rather than the previously reported 1,2-addition resulting in 17 19 , or the originally expected 1,4conjugate addition of HCN. There was also recovery of a smaller amount of starting material. The methyl group of this quinolinedione was then oxidized with selenium dioxide in 1,4-dioxane and a small amount of water to give the aldehyde 15. The water and Se02 react, forming a reactive selenium oxide, which then reacts selectively to oxidize only the methyl group on the quinolinedione. 9 Scheme 2 -EVoICN (1 M!Toluene) 5 .. 8e02 • heat ..

CH3 CH2 C02CH 3 0 CH3 Next, the Pictet-Spengler condensation was performed with the aldehyde and the commercially available p-methyl tryptophan methyl ester (7), refluxing in xylene, to yield the final product 16. In the Pictet-Spengler condensation, the aldehyde of the quinolinedione and the amine group of the tryptophan react, are thought to form a spiroindolenine intermediate 20 , and result in a new carbon-carbon bond. B. Reaction of Diethylaluminum Cyanide with a,~­ unsaturated Ketones For many years, diethylaluminum cyanide has been known to produce p-cyano carbonyl compounds by way of a conjugate addition to a,p-unsaturated ketones. 21 In early 1998 Behforouz reported from our own research group a reaction in which diethylaluminum cyanide added to the quinolinedione 5 in a 1,2 fashion, resulting in the quinoline quinol 17 and a small amount of recovered starting material. 19 10 - W I /- I AcHN f0 CH2~3 HO N o • // CH3 ACHNyN~CH3 o 17 + E~ //. ~A ACHNYN o 5 CH3 18 1 CH3CH2~ I I ~ AcHN N 0 CH3 14 Quinoline quinols have shown promise as chemotherapeutic agents, so the project was begun intending to produce a lavendamycin analog with a quinoline quinol portion. Instead, working under the same reaction conditions but with a different reagent bottle, I repeated the published reaction with compound 7 and diethylaluminum cyanide and obtained a major product of compound 14, along with a small amount of recovered starting material 7. The proposed mechanism for this reaction would be a 1,4 conjugate addition, but with an ethyl group acting as the nucleophile ,- rather than the expected cyano group. VI. Experimental A. General Infor.mation Reagents: 8-hydroxyquinaldine, selenium dioxide, diethylaluminum cyanide (1M in toluene), and ~-methyl ester were purchased from the Aldrich Chemical Co. Solvents: All solvents used were reagent grade, excluding 1,4- dioxane, xylene, and in specified instances, dichloromethane. NMR Spectra: The IH NMR spectra were recorded with a Varian Gemini 200 spectrometer, and the samples were prepared in CDCI 3 (w/TMS as internal standard) or DMSO. IR Spectra: The IR spectra were recorded with a Perkin-Elmer Spectrum 1000 FT-IR Spectrometer and the samples were prepared in -- KBr pellets. 11 -- B. Solvent Purification For the reaction with diethylaluminum cyanide, dichloromethane was distilled over CaH 2 and stored under argon. l,4-dioxane was first refluxed with potassium hydroxide, decanted, refluxed with benzophenone and sodium spheres until dry, and then distilled. The potassium hydroxide breaks down the dioxane into monomers, and the sodium is a drying agent. The benzophenone acts as an indicator of complete dryness, and the solution turns blue at such time. The xylene is also purified by refluxing with sodium spheres and benzophenone, followed by distillation. c. Procedures Preparation of 8-Bydroxy-2-methyl-S,7-dinitroquinoline (11) In a 1L erlenmeyer flask cooled by ice, concentrated nitric acid (140 ml) and concentrated sulfuric acid (60 ml) were combined and stirred. In small portions over a one hour period was added 8-hydroxyquinaldine (10; 20.00 g, 0.125 mol), while keeping the solution at room temperature. Once the addition was complete, the reddish solution was allowed to stir in the ice bath for an additional two hours. This solution was then poured into a 2L beaker containing ice water(l:l, 1200 ml), and stirred with a glass rod. The solution immediately precipitated a bright yellow solid, which was then vacuum filtered, washed with water and diethyl ether to yield 17.68 g (56%) of product 11. mp 292-296 °c. lH NMR(DMSO):a 9.68(lH, d,J=9.1Hz,C-4H),9.22(lH,s, C-6B),8.15(lH,d,J=9.1Hz,C-3B),2.95(3H,s,CB3 ) • Preparation of S,7-Diacetamido-8-acetoxy-2-methylquinloine (13) In a thick walled 500 ml hydrogenation flask, 2.0 g 5% Pd-C catalyst was added to a suspension of finely powdered 8-hydroxy2-methylquinoline-5,7-dinitroquinoline (11; 5.98 g, .024 mol) in 12 - 100 ml 10% hydrochloric acid. This mixture was placed on a Parr hydrogenator and shaken under 30 psi for 21 hours. The resulting red solution was immediately filtered to remove the Pd-C, and the filter cake rinsed with 10-20 ml water. Immediately, 20.0 g sodium acetate and 10.0 g sodium sulfite was added to the dark red filtrate and stirred. Then 67 ml acetic anhydride was added dropwise while stirring and cooling in an ice bath. turned yellow as precipitate formed. The solution Once the addition was complete, the solution was allowed to stir for an additional 30 minutes, then the precipitate was filtered off and rinsed with 20 ml water. The filtrate was then concentrated to approximately 25-30 ml, and an extra 13 ml acetic anhydride was added dropwise over fifteen minutes, causing more precipitate to form. The solution was filtered again, and the filter cakes were combined and dried to give 6.10 g -- (81%) of 13. Preparation of 7-Acetamido-2-methylquinoline-s,8-dione(s) In a 500 ml erlenmeyer flask, methylquinoline (13; 3.15 g, 5,7-diacetamido-8-acetoxy-2- .01 mol) was dissolved and stirred in 120 ml glacial acetic acid. Potassium dichromate (8.75 g, .03 mol) was then dissolved in 100 ml water and added to the acetic acid solution. This solution was then stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. the resulting black solution was poured into 900 ml water in a 2L separatory funnel, and extracted with dichloromethane (4 x 250 ml). The yellow organic extracts were then combined and washed with 5% sodium carbonate in saturated sodium chloride solution (3 x 200 ml) to neutralize the acid. The organic solution was then dried over magnesium sulfate overnight. The next day, the solution was rota-evaporated to dryness and dried under vacuum to yield 1.18 g solid 5. mp 216-218 °C.

To this bright yellow solution was added a 1M solution of diethylaluminum cyanide in Toluene (5 ml,5mmol,5 eq), which immediately turned the solution to a thick brown mixture. The mixture was then stirred in an argon atmosphere for one hour. Next, 40 ml of ice-cooled saturated sodium potassium tartrate was added and stirred for 20 minutes. Then 100 ml dichloromethane and another 40 ml saturated sodium potassium tartrate was added and stirred for an additional 20 minutes. The resulting mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (3 x 100 ml) and the yellow organic layers combined, washed with 200 ml water, and dried over magnesium sulfate. 5 mI.
