The general approach that was used was to prepare N-[1-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl]-4-(phenylamino)piperidine using publishedprocedures, convert the nitro group to an azide, and then add the side

*chain with or without the radiolabel by acylation of the secondaryamine. However, there was considerable uncertainty from theliterature in regard to whether these steps could be carried outwithout also encountering unwanted side reactions. Therefore, severalalternative approaches were discussed and some were tested

* *- experimentally.

Published procedures (1,2) were available for that part of thesynthesis shown in Figure 1. Several approaches were considered forconverting the nitro group to an azide and for attaching thepropiorate to 4.

One approach involved the conversion of 4, by acylation withacryloyl chloride to give N-[1-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl]-4-piperidinyl-N-phenyl-acrylamide, 5. In principle 5 could then be reduced withtritium gas in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form theradiolabeled 6. Both the double bond and the nitro group would needto undergo the tritium reduction. After suitable purification, theradiolabeled 6 would then need to undergo diazotization and subsequentreaction with sodium azide to form the desired product, 1. Thestructures of 5 and 6 are described on page 6.

The approach via 5 and 6 was discussed extensively with thecustom synthesis and tritiation personnel at both New England NuclearCo. and Amersham Co., since the tritiation could not be done at thoUniversity. The conclusions from those discussions did not make, th-approach via and 6 look very promising. The cost of the er, iaitritiation was estimated by these companies to require at l,-,t$2,000. This included the cost of 50 Ci of tritium qa, to prl(,h ,i 1r,.

-. would proceed; and further they cautioned that radiolyticdecomposition of the product could be significant. And finally, thecustom synthesis personnel could not propose a simple method to tellwhether or not both of the reductions had occurred as planned. Twopurifications with radiolabeled material would have been required,once after the tritium reductions and again after the diazotization-azide reactions. And finally, there was a slight possibility of a 1,6-->,yiatrophic hydrogen shift in 5, as shown below, which might lead todegradation of the compound. Therefore, the tritium gas doublereduction approach was not used.

the acrylamide attachment) to prevent reaction at the secondary amineas well; however it is shown later that the conversion of the nitrogroup to the azide could be carried out without having to protect thesecondary amine.

These problems in principle could be overcome by an approach thata) put the radiolabel on at the last step, thus requiring only onepurification with the radiolabel attached, and b) that did notnecessitate a tritium gas reduction.

After extensive discussion in this laboratory and with CRDECpersonnel, the approach in Figure 2 was selected. This involved theconversion of 4 to 7, to protect the secondary amine, and thenreduction of the nitro group to produce 8 followed by conversion tothe azide (9). Hydrolytic cleavage of the amide would remove the

N protective group from the secondary amine to produce 1-[2-(4-azidophenyl)ethyl]-4-(phenylamino)-piperidine (10), which could beacylated with a radiolabeled propionylating reagent to give the finalproduct (1).

It was planned to use N-succinimidyl-[2,3- 3H] propionate as theacylating reagent since it was commercially available at about $498/5mCi and specific activity 80-100 Ci/mmol. A more reactive

*propionylating agent, radiolabeled propionyl chloride, would haverequired a $7,000 custom synthesis for 1-5 Ci/mmol at 95% purity. Itwas also planned a) to prepare the non-radiolabeled analog 9 of thedesired product I for use at CRDEC and b) to test the final attachmentchemistry for the radiolabeled group (10 + 11 to give 1) first withnon-radiolabeled compounds (10 + 12 to give 9).

It turned out that the hydrolysis of 9 to produce 10 wasextremely difficult to cary out. Therefore a method was developed togo directly from 4 to the primary amine and then to the azide, 10, asshown in Figure 3.

conditions and the reult s of the characteri'ation measureents for

each compound are given in the last section of the report.

Compound 4 was converted in several aliquots to give 16 g of pur-7 of m.p. 119 120 1 C. Catalytic hydrogenation of 7 over palladium,following the publ i .hid Procedure, gave quanti tative conversion of 7to 8, with a product m.p. of 150-1520 C. Diazotization of 8 with' oiuILm n it r ite and 2N HC I at 00C foll Iowed by the add it i on o f sod ium11azide produced 9, as a colorless material after crystallization fromethyl acetate/ethanol.

Purified 9 had a decomposition poiot at 195 0C and exhibitedintense infrared absorltion at 2110 cm (indicative of the azide

* group) and at 1638 cm- (indicative of the amide carbonyl). Massspectroscopic analysis of 9 showed a molecular ion peak at 377 massunits and another peak at 349 mass units. The loss of 28 mass unitsfrom the molecular ion was indicative of azide breakdown to releasenitrogen to yield a nitrenium ion. Proton NMR spectra were obtainedfor 7, 8, and 9; and the spectra agreed with the assigned structures.Compound 9 was stable, in that no decomgosition was observed (testedby TLC) over several weeks storage at 5 C while protected from light.

The hydrolysis of 9, to remove the non-radiolabeled propionylr oup and form 10, while keeping the azide function intact. proved toI- very difficult to carry out. Both acidic and basic reagents,including various concentrations of hydrochloric acid or sodiumhydroxide, ammonia, HF, and Triton B, were tried. The procedure wascomplicated by two factors: 1) the mobilities of the components of'he reaction mixture seemed peculiar on TLC (this is discussed laterin more detail) and 2) in some of the trials with acidic reagents a', compound that differed from 8, 9, or 10 was formed, a'- -en by

I[C. This new compound did not show an azide peak on IR but did shn',v,-- . 'H and amide carbonyl absorptions. It was postulated that the nrew

c"n, 'pound might have been the resu It of internal NH insertion b t tw,,,4h;, az ide and the N-phenyl to give 13. No attompt wv , I i(, t

In view of the difficulties in hydrolyzing 9 to form 10, severalalternative approaches were tried. One approach was the directsubstitution of the nitro group of -4 with sodium azide in DMSO to give10. Such a procedure had been reported earlier for a similartransformation (4); but this approach was unproductive for our system,even with heating to 70°C. As a second alternative approach to form10, it was thought that the trifluoroactyl function would be moredesirable than the propionyl function as a protective group for thesecondary amine since the trifluoroacetyl group should be moreamenable to cleavage than the propionyl group. Accordingly, 4 wasreacted with trifluoroacetic anhydride to give the trifluoroacetylderivative of 7. A similar trifluoroacetate analog of 8 was preparedby catalytic hydrogenation. Conversion to the azide, and treatment ofthe trifluoroacetate analog of 9 with mild aqueous ammonia wasexpected to remove the protecting group and give the desired 10.However, this trifluoroacetate approach was not characterized fullybecause a more simple procedure was devised to go from 4 to 10 withoutthe need to protect the secondary amine.

Compound 4 was catalytically reduced with hydrogen over palladiumat greater than 80% yield to produce 14 (Figure 3). Earlier it wasthouight that diazotization of 14 would lead to diazotization of theprimary aromatic amine and simultaneous nitrosation of the secondary

" amine. However, conditions were established to convert 14 to 10* without affecting the secondary amine by carrying out the

in Rf could be explained if 10 formed an internal hydrogen bondbetween the secondary amine and the azide (shown below in Figure 4);whereas such a possibility is not present in 9.

The apparent internal hydrogen bond formation in Figure 4suggests that fentanyl type compounds may be able to assume a foldedconformation in which the ends of the molecule are brought into closeproximity. This agrees with the idea presented elsewhere (2) thatfentanyl compounds assume a morphine-like conformation in order toexert their morphinomimetic activity.

With the successful preparation of 10, it was then necessary tosynthesize the non-radiolabeled N-succinimidyl propionate, 12, and todevelop the reaction conditions for coupling 12 and 10 to give the non-radiolabeled analog, 9, of the desired radiolabeled product, 1.Compound 12 was prepared from N-succinimide and propionic acid, underthe catalytic influence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Therecrystallized, pure material (m.p. 33-340 C) had the required IR andNMR characteristics. Several test experiments were performed toestablish the conditions for the maximum conversion of 10 to 9. Theuse of compounds 11 and 12 is described in the literature for theacylation of proteins in aqueous solution; but no information isavailable as to acylation conditions with this reagent in organicsolvents. Toluene was used as the solvent since the radiolabeledmaterial, 11, is available commercially only in toluene. Thequantitative conversion (monitored by TLC) of 10 to 9 could beachieved with an equimolar solution of 10 and 12 in toluene with ther mixture maintained at 900C for 3 hr. The reaction went poorly at roomtemperature, possibly because of the internal hydrogen bonding (seeFigure 4). The azide group was surprisingly stable during the 3 hrreaction at 900C, as determined by IR measurements of the reactantsand products and a control experiment with 10 maintained at 900C fonr 3hr.

The final reaction of 10 with 11 to form the radiolaheled[)rOduct, 1, was carried out in sealed glass tubes at 90(C for 3 hr.Two runs were made, each with 5 mCi (in 5 ml) of 11 at 107 Ci,,'mrilspecific activity. The total quantities used for the reactions were10 mCi (0.094 imoles; MW 171) of 11 and 0.097 moles of 10. At I0N,

" ~ ,fter development and radinchromatogram scanning, the silica gel bandscontaining the product were scrapped off and pooled.

The isolated labelled pro,;uct amounted to a total

-" of 1.365 mCi. Assuming a specific activity of 107 mCiimol, thisamounted to 4.81 p q (13.6% yield) oT 1. The first several extract ionscontained 0.975 mlCi (3.44 j.g) of I and was the material forwarded tothe CRDEC.

The low level of recovery of I might have hoon due 1) to..,tvu:z terification of the silica gel surfa(e by 1 during development

of the chromatogram or 2) 'o the poor ability of the extractionip r'-edure to dislodge I fhom the silica gel. Even after repeated,xtraction, the residual silica gel contained appr,,ciable radioactive

Test runs showed that 10 and 9 could he )eparated by HPIC using aC-18 column with 50% aqueous acetonitrile as the mobile phase."herefore, it was planned to use HPLC for the final purification of Iin the future. However, the project was terminated at this point

The infrared spectra were taken as KBr pellets on a Digilab FTS15 80 FIIR Spectrometer. The spectral frequencies provide convenient,v idence to document the changes in the funct ional groups brought out

hi the synthetic transformations. For instance, tho presence as well,as the removal of the propionyl functionality cru(ia] to the syntheticscheme can be followed by the ppearance and absence of the tertiaryaimide function around 1650 cm- Similarl v the 56c,,0ss of thereduction of the aromatic nitro function to viold compounds 8 and 14can be followed by the disappearance of thy tpir a1 aromatic nitro;rOUp absorptions around 1530 and 1350 cm and i t he appearance ofIrimary amino N-H stretchinfl frqoencis in the rion 3500-3300 cm ]
