Ketones 2 (MSDC-0160) and 3 (MSDC-0602) had been selected for clinical development, however their initial syntheses were considered suboptimal for application deep into clinical trials. Difficulties ranging from the nature of the starting material, alcohol oxidation problems, epoxide opening regioisomeric issues, and endgame ketone redox problems had been encountered. Direct ketone introduction/maintenance was desired for maximum efficiency and convergence was found to be critically dependent upon the acidity of the nucleophilic species (13, 18) and the use of pre- or post-alkylative oximino-ether/oxime protection (vide infra). Improvements in overall yield for the syntheses of 2 (MSDC-0160) and 3 (MSDC-0602) from 20% (2) and 31% (3) respectively, to 44% (2) and 59% (3) were realized.

The present invention provides novel methods for synthesizing PPARgamma sparing compounds, e.g., thiazolidinediones, that are useful for preventing and/or treating metabolic disorders such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and inflammatory diseases.

An efficient six-step synthesis has been developed for the preparation of the thiazolidinedione analogue PNU-91325 (3) from the commercially available olefin 12. This process involves a novel epoxide ring opening with a deactivated phenol under phase-transfer conditions. Significant improvements were made in the oxidation of a secondary alcohol to the ketone and the 1,4-reduction of an enone from a previous process. Overall, this route allows for the preparation of PNU-91325 in 25% yield.
