A Novel Synthetic Process of KRAS G12C Inhibitors Intermediate(2-((Tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-5,7-difluorobenzo[d]thiazol-4-yl)boronic Acid
RAS gene mutation is a common type of gene mutation in cancers,and KARS gene mutation is the most influential mutation among RAS mutations.The KRAS G12C mutation is a mutation with a high incidence in the KRAS gene,and is an important target for current drug development.The struc-ture-activity relationship shows that the introduction of benzo[d]thiazole fragment helps to improve the inhibitory activity of the compound on KRAS G12C.Therefore,the synthetic process of this key inter-mediate is further studied.In this study,the synthetic process of KRAS G12C inhibitors intermediate(2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-5,7-difluorobenzo[d]thiazol-4-yl)(A)boronic acid was improved,and(2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-5,7-difluorobenzo[d]thiazol-4-yl)boronic acid was prepared by four steps from 2-bromo-3,5-difluoroaniline as the starting material.This method saved two steps compared with the literature method,and did not need to use expensive palladium catalyst.Moreover,the key process steps were optimized.NBS/MeSO3H was selected for ring closure and the yield of in-termediate 2 could reach more than 90%at 80 ℃ for 4 h.Furthermore,the last step of borylation re-action was optimized.It was found that triisopropyl borate and n-butyllithium could be used to prepare the boric acid instead of palladium catalyst,and the yield could reach more than 30%after purification by column chromatography,and the structure was confirmed by MS and 1H NMR.
