A gram scale synthesis o
f the glucuronide metabolite o
f ABT-724 is reported. Glycosidic coupling betweena trichloroacetimidate glucuronyl donor and a Cbz-protected hydroxypyridylpiperazine glycosyl acceptoris the key step in the synthesis, since attempts to directly glucuronidate the aglycon, aglycon derivatives,and other truncated glycosyl acceptors were unsuccess
ful. The route was used to produce 2.1 g o
f metabolitein eight steps
from 2-chloro-5-hydroxypyridine in 21% overall yield.
