GRANTED


This invention relates to a process for the cyanation of aldehydes, particularly to the asymmetric cyanation of aldehydes, including the synthesis of chiral cyanohydrins and derivatives thereof, such as chiral O-acyl cyanohydrins.
The synthesis of chiral intermediates such as chiral cyanohydrins and derivatives is an important process for use in the manufacture of fine chemicals, agrochemicals and phamaceuticals Enantiomerically pure cyanohydrins and derivatives are known to be versatile intemediates. for the synthesis of a wide range of commercially important compounds. For example chiral cyanohydrins and derivatives are intermediates for the synthesis of: a-hydroxy-acids, a-amiho alcohols, and 1,2-diols. In addition, chiral cyanohydrins are themselves components of highly successful pyrethroid insecticides.
There are a number of synthetic routes available for the asymmetric synthesis of cyanohydrins and derivatives, virtually all of which involve the use of a chiral catalyst to induce the asymmetric addition of a cyanide source to a prochiral aldehyde or ketone. The available catalysts include enzymes, cyclic peptides and transition metal complexes. However, all of these methods suffer from one or more significant disadvantages which have negated their commercial exploitation. Many of the methods employ highly toxic and hazardous HCN, require very low (ca. -80°C) reaction temperatures, and/or give products with low to moderate enantiomeric excesses.
Processes for the asymmetric synthesis cyanohydrins and derivatives are disclosed by M.North, Synlett, 1993, 807-20; F.Effenberger, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl.

wherein each R1 and R2 independently is H, alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkoxy, aryloxy,
halogen, nitro, halo-alkyl, amino (including with alkyl or aryl substituents on the nitrogen
atom), or amido. Preferably, R1 and R2 = CMe3. However, whilst the chemistry shown in
Scheme 1 is academically interesting, it is of little commercial relevance due to the
prohibitive cost of trimethylsilyl cyanide. Additionally, trimethylsilyl cyanide is highly
volatile and hazardous to handle.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a process for" cyanating an aldehyde which comprises reacting the aldehyde with: i) a cyanide source which does not comprise a Si-CN bond or a C-(C=0)-CN moiety; and ii) a substrate susceptible to nucleophilic attack not comprising a halogen leaving group; in the presence of a chiral catalyst.
Aldehydes which can be employed in the process of the present invention have the chemical formula R-CHO, wherein R is a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl group, including perhalogenated hydrocarbyl groups. Hydrocarbyl groups which may be represented by R include alkyl, alkenyl, aryl and heterocyclic groups, and any combination thereof, such as aralkyl and alkaryl, for example benzyl groups.

Alkyl groups which may be represented by R include linear and branched alkyl groups comprising up to 20 carbon atoms, particularly from 1 to 7 carbon atoms and preferably from 1 to 5 carbon atoms. When the alkyl groups are branched, the groups often comprise up to 10 branched chain carbon atoms, preferably up to 4 branched chain atoms. In certain embodiments, the alkyl group may be cyclic, commonly comprising from 3 to 10 carbon atoms in the largest ring and optionally featuring one or more bridging rings. Examples of alkyl groups which may be represented by R include methyl, ethyl, propyl, 2-propyl, butyl, 2-butyl, t-butyl and cyclohexyl groups.
Alkenyl groups which may be represented by R include C2-2o, and preferably C2-6 alkenyl groups. One or more carbon - carbon double bonds may be present. The alkenyl group may carry one or more substituents, particularly phenyl substituents. Examples of alkenyl groups include vinyl, styryl and indenyl groups.
Aryl groups which may be represented by R may contain 1 ring or 2 or more fused rings which may include cycloalkyl, aryl or heterocyclic rings. Examples of aryl groups which may be represented by R include phenyl, tolyl, fluorophenyl, chlorophenyl, bromophenyl, trifluoromethylphenyl, anisyl, naphthyl and ferrocenyl groups.
Perhalogenated hydrocarbyl groups which may be represented by R include perhalogenated alkyl and aryl groups, and any combination thereof, such as aralky! and alkaryl groups. Examples of perhalogenated alkyl groups which may be represented by R include -CF3 and -C2F5.
Heterocyclic groups which may be represented by R include aromatic, saturated and partially unsaturated ring systems and may constitute 1 ring or 2 or more fused rings which may include cycloalkyl, aryl or heterocyclic rings. The heterocyclic group will contain at least one heterocyclic ring, the largest of which will commonly comprise from 3 to 7 ring atoms in which at least one atom is carbon and at least one atom is any of N, O, S or P. Examples of heterocyclic groups which may be represented by R include pyridyl, pyrimidyl, pyrrolyl, thiophenyl, furanyl, indolyl, quinolyl, isoquinolyl, imidazoyl and triazoyl groups.
When R is a substituted hydrocarbyl or heterocyclic group, the substituent(s) should be such so as not to adversely affect the reaction. Optional substituents include halogen, cyano, nitro, hydroxy, amino, thiol, acyl, hydrocarbyl, perhalogenated hydrocarbyl, heterocyclyl, hydrocarbyloxy, mono or di-hydrocarbylamino, hydrocarbylthio, esters, carbonates, amides, sulphonyl and sulphonamido groups wherein the hydrocarbyl groups are as defined for R above. One or more substituents may be present.
Cyanide sources not comprising a Si-CN bond or a C-(C=0)-CN moiety which can be employed in the process of the present invention include dicyanogen; ammonium cyanide salts, particularly quaternary ammonium salts such as tetraalkyl, preferably tetra Ct.6alkyl-, ammonium salts; sulfonyl cyanides, for example. tosyl cyanide and mesyl cyanide; and organic cyanides having the formula R3-0-CO-CN, where R3 is H or a

substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl group as described above, commonly a C1-6 alkyl group. In many embodiments, the cyanide source is an inorganic cyanide, preferably a metal cyanide or an in situ source of inorganic cyanide such as acetone cyanohydrin. Particularly preferred cyanide sources comprise alkali metal and alkaline earth metal cyanides, for example, lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium, magnesium and calcium cyanides. The most preferred cyanide source is potassium cyanide.
The reaction between the aldehyde and the cyanide source occurs in the presence of a substrate susceptible to nucleophilic attack which does not comprise a halogen leaving group. Examples of such substrates are compounds having the general formula Q-Y, wherein Q represents an organic acid radical, and Y represents a non-halogen leaving group. In many embodiments, the leaving group, Y, is a leaving group the conjugate acid of which has a pKa of greater than about -2, such as greater than 3, and often less than 12. Examples of leaving groups include alkyl and aryl sulphonates, such as mesylate and tosylate; carbonates; especially alkyl carbonates; carboxylates, especially alkyl carboxylates; and groups of formula -NRxRy, wherein Rx and Ry together with the nitrogen atom form an unsaturated heterocyclic ring which may comprise one or more additional heteroatoms, especially nitrogen, particularly imidazole or benzimidazole rings. Organic acid radicals which may be represented by Q include groups of formulae R-(C=0)-, R-(C=S)-, RO-(C=0)-, RN-(C=0)-, RO-(C=S)-, RN-(C=S)-, RS-(C=0)-, RS-(C=S)-, R-(P=0)(OR)-, R-S02- and R-SO-, wherein R represents a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl group as described above.
In many embodiments, the substrate susceptible to nucleophilic attack which does not comprise a halogen leaving group has the general formula R4-(C=X)-A-Z, wherein R4 represents an organic radical, such as a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl group as described above or a hydrocarbyloxy group wherein the hydrocarbyl moiety is as described above; X represents O, S, N-R or NOR wherein R represents H or a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl group as described above; A represents a chalcogen, preferably O or S and Z represents a group of formula (C=0)-R4 or (C=S)-R4 wherein R4 is as described above; or -A-Z represents a group of formula -NRxRy as described above. Preferably, X and A each represent O, and Z is a group of formula (C=0)-R4.
Commonly, the substrate susceptible to nucleophilic attack which does not comprise a halogen leaving group is a carboxylic acid anhydride or an anhydride of a carbonic acid. Carboxylic anhydrides include mixed anhydrides and are often the anhydrides of C^ alkyl or aryl carboxylic acids, such as acetic anhydride and trifluoroacetic anhydride. Carbonic acid anhydrides include di-tert-butyldicarbonate, (tBuOCOOCOOtBu), N,N"-disuccinyldicarbonate, N,N"-dimaleimyldicarbonate, N-(tert-butyl-oxycarbonyloxy) maleimide or succinimide, and N-(benzyloxycarbonyloxy) maleimide or succinimide.

Chiral catalysts that can be employed in the process of the present invention are those known in the art for catalysing the addition of a cyanide group to a carbonyl group, and include enzymes and cyclic peptides. Preferably, the chiral catalysts are metal complexes of metals, for example B, Mg, Al, Sn, Bi, particularly transition-metal complexes comprising a chiral ligand, for example Re and lanthanides. In many embodiments, the transition metal is a Lewis acid capable of forming tetra coordinate complexes with chiral ligands. Preferred transition metal complexes are complexes of titanium and vanadium, especially titanium (IV) and vanadium (V). The chiral ligands are preferably tetradentate and commonly coordinate via oxygen and/or nitrogen atoms. Examples include binol, taddol, sulfoximines, salicylimines and tartrates, especially tartrate esters. However, the most preferred class of ligands are chiral Salen ligands and derivatives thereof. Particularly preferably, the chiral catalyst employed in the process according to the present invention is a catalyst of formula 1 or 2 described above. When a catalyst of formula 1 is employed, it is also possible to use a mixed catalyst containing one vanadium and one titanium ion in each bimetallic catalyst unit.
The process according to the present invention is commonly carried out in the presence of a .solvent Preferred solvents are polar, aprotic solvents, including halocarbons, for example dichloromethane, chloroform and 1,2-dichloroethane; nitriles, for example acetonitrile; ketones, for example acetone and methylethylketone; ethers, for example diethylether and tetrahydrofuran; and amides, for example dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide and N-methylpyrotidinone.
Advantageously, the process of the present invention is carried out in the presence of an additive which accelerates the rate of reaction. Commonly these additives are inorganic bases such as Na2C03, K2C03 or CaC03 or comprise a nucleophilic heteroatom, and often have pKa of greater than 10, for example in the range from 15-35, such as from 15-25. Examples of preferred additives include organic bases, such as pyridine, 2,6-lutidine and imidazole; alcohols, .such as C-|.6 alcohols, especially tertiary alcohols such as t-butanol; and water.
It will be recognised that when the cyanide source is a metal cyanide, the reaction mixture-will be heterogeneous. In such circumstances, it is therefore desirable to employ efficient agitation of the reaction mixture. Agitation means known in the art, for example mechanical stirrers and ultrasonic agitators, selected appropriately according to the scale of reaction can be employed as desired.
The process of the present invention is often carried out a temperature of from about -40"C to about 40°C. Lower temperatures may be employed if desired, although they are not believed to be advantageous. Commonly, the reaction is carried out a temperature of from -25°C to ambient temperature, such as 15-25°C.
The product of the cyanation reaction in the presence of the substrate susceptible to nucleophilic attack which does not comprise a halogen leaving group can then be
6

reacted, for example by hydrolysis, to form a cyanohydrin. When the substrate susceptible to nucleophilic attack which does not comprise a halogen leaving group has the general formula Q-Y, the process can be represented by the sequence:
CN H
R-CHO + CN + Q-Y *» V +Y
R O-Q
The process according to the present invention is particularly suited to the
enantioslective cyanation of aldehydes. It has been found that particularly effective
enantioselective cyanation of aldehydes can be achieved by employing an order of
addition in which a mixture of chiral catalyst, cyanide source, solvent and aldehyde are
prepared, preferably an additive as described above is added to this mixture. The
temperature of this mixture is then adjusted to the desired reaction temperature if
necessary, and the substrate susceptible to nucleophilic attack not comprising a halogen
leaving group is added. This approach has been found to be especially suited when the
additive comprises lutidine and the substrate susceptible to nucleophilic attack not
comprising a halogen leaving group is a carboxylic anhydride. Y
Certain embodiments of the present invention comprise the use of a heterogeneous mixture of an alkali metal cyanide, or alkaline earth metal cyanide (or other inexpensive cyanide sources such as acetone cyanohydrin), an additive (which may be a base e.g. pyridine; or water) and acetic anhydride (or other carboxylic acid anhydrides) to generate a cyanating agent for aldehydes. This can be carried out in situ with catalyst 1 (and related catalysts) and an aldehyde to generate chiral O-acyl cyanohydrins (conditions as illustrated in Scheme 2). This methodology uses only inexpensive reagents, and produces cyanohydrin derivatives which are not sensitive to moisture and do not spontaneously racemize.
