Acylation polymer-supported

A strategy involving sequential 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions has been reported for the synthesis of novel bis-isoxazolo substituted piperidines 192a and 192b (Eqs. 18 and 19) [53]. It consists of the Michael addition of an unsaturated alkox-ide 185 to )3-nitrostyrene 184 followed by an INOC or ISOC reaction to provide isoxazolines 187-189 (Eq. 18 and Table 18). A polymer supported acyl chloride... 

As mentioned before for other azolide reactions, acylations can be carried out with polymer-supported azolides as acylating reagents. For example, acetic acid hydrazide can be prepared with a polymer of l-acetyl-4-vinyl-imidazole/divinylbenzene (96 4) and hydrazine (no diacylation occurs when this method is used) [122]... 

Weik and Rademann have described the use of phosphoranes as polymer-bound acylation equivalents [65]. The authors chose a norstatine isostere as a synthetic target and employed classical polymer-bound triphenylphosphine in their studies (Scheme 7.54). Initial alkylation of the polymer-supported reagent was achieved with bromoacetonitrile under microwave irradiation. Simple treatment with triethyl-amine transformed the polymer-bound phosphonium salt into the corresponding stable phosphorane, which could be efficiently coupled with various protected amino acids. In this acylation step, the exclusion of water was crucial. 

A variation of this method led to the generation of bis-benzimidazoles [81, 82], The versatile immobilized ortho-phenylenediamine template was prepared as described above in several microwave-mediated steps. Additional N-acylation exclusively at the primary aromatic amine moiety was achieved utilizing the initially used 4-fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid at room temperature (Scheme 7.72). Various amines were used to introduce diversity through nucleophilic aromatic substitution. Cyclization to the polymer-bound benzimidazole was achieved by refluxing for several hours in a mixture of trifluoroacetic acid and chloroform. Individual steps at ambient temperature for selective reduction, cyclization with several aldehydes, and final detachment from the polymer support were necessary in order to obtain the desired bis-benzimidazoles. A set of 13 examples was prepared in high yields and good purities [81].

Rice and Nuss report that the Argopore MB-CHO polymer-supported amidoximes 282 (readily available from the nitrile 281), shown in Scheme 46, can be acylated with acid chlorides in the presence of excess pyridine to give the O-acylamidoximes 283. Cyclization was carried out with TBAF in THF at ambient temperature, to give the polymer-supported 1,2,4-oxadiazoles 284. Release of the 1,2,4-oxadiazoles 285 from the polymer support was achieved by treatment with 95% trifluoroacetic acid <2001BML753>. 

Each of the routes discussed thus far in this section are reliant upon amidoxime-based methods. In a change from this paradigm, Makara etal. produced the polymer-supported benzotriazoles 294 and converted them easily into the iV-acyl-177-benzotriazole 1-carboximidamides 295. Cyclization with hydroxylamine gave the supported 3-amino-l,2,4-oxadia-zoles 296 which were cleaved with TFA to give the free 3-amino-l,2,4-oxadiazoles 297 (Scheme 49) <2002TL5043>. 

The use of polymer-supported reagents in combinatorial chemistry has received much attention in recent years, and a polymer-supported acylating reagent (supported on a ROMPGEL) has been used for the synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles in solution, (see Equation 37), <2000CCHT131>. 

Alkyl and glycosyl isocyanates and isothiocyanates are produced in good yield under phase-transfer catalytic conditions using either conventional soluble catalysts or polymer-supported catalysts [32, 33]. Acyl isothiocyanates are obtained under similar conditions [34]. A-Aryl phosphoramidates are converted via their reaction with carbon disulphide under basic conditions into the corresponding aryl isothiocyanates, when the reaction is catalysed by tetra-n-butylammonium bromide [35]. 

In 1982 Cardillo used a three-step sequence involving two supported reagent systems to convert /i-iodoamines into amino alcohols (Scheme 2.23) [45]. Polymer-supported acetate ions were used for the substitution of the iodide which immediately underwent acyl transfer to the amine. The resulting compound (10) was directly treated with hydrochloric acid to cleave the amide and the free base was subsequently obtained from the reaction by treatment with a resin-bound carbonate. This was of particularly synthetic value because of the high water solubiHty of these amino alcohol compounds that would have made aqueous work-up challenging. 

Undesirable intermolecular reactions can be avoided during certain synthetic conversions. Thus it is often useful to carry out C-alkylation and C-acylation of compounds that form enolate anions, for example, esters with a-hydrogens. Such reactions are often complicated by self-condensation since the enolate anion can attack the carbonyl group of a second ester molecule. Attachment of the enolizable ester to a polymer support at low loading levels allows the alkylation and acylation reactions (Eq. 9-79) to be performed under... 

A quaternary ammonium hydroxide ion exchange resin 6 was shown to sequester phenols, hydroxypyrazoles, and other weakly acidic heterocycles.25 The sequestered nucleophiles could also be used as polymer-supported reactants. Similarly, the guanidine-functionalized resin 7 was also shown to be a useful capture agent for weakly acidic nucleophiles, including phenols and cyclic iV-acyl sulfonamides.26... 

The polymer-supported superbase 30 was developed and used for the deprotonation and alkylation of weakly acidic nitrogen heterocycles such as indoles, phthalazinones, and pyrazoles.46 The diagram below illustrates the use of superbase 30 to alkylate a weakly basic pyrazole NH after acylation or alkylation of the more nucleophilic piperidine NH. Ami-nomethyl resin 1 was added after each step to sequester excess alkyl and/or acyl halide from the solution phase.

A related series of 5-substituted-2-amino-oxadiazole compounds have also been prepared in a one-pot procedure using a microwave-assisted cyclisation procedure (Scheme 6.26)164. Rapid preparation of the pre-requisite ureas from the mono acyl hydrazines and various isocyanates (or the isothiocyanate) was easily achieved by simple mixing. The resulting products were then cyclo dehydrated by one of the two procedures either by the addition of polymer-supported DMAP and tosyl chloride or alternatively with an immobilised carbodiimide and catalytic sulphonic acid. Purity in most cases was excellent after only filtration through a small plug of silica but an SCX-2 cartridge (sulphonic acid functionalised - catch and release) could be used in the cases where reactions required additional purification. 

Thiamine-catalyzed transformations are reversible, thus TV,/V-dialkyl hydrazones were selected as alternative acyl anion equivalents that were reported to react with electrophiles without acidic activation.41 One especially reactive example, formaldehyde hydrazone resin 13, was constructed from polymer-supported hydrazines and was employed in the first polymer-supported, uncatalyzed acyl anion additions (Fig. 8).38 As test substrates, nitroalkenes (as Michael acceptors) and activated aldehydes were selected. Reactivity of these acyl anion equivalents depended critically not only on the nature of the starting hydrazine, but also on the protocol for hydrazine formation. 

The solid-state synthesis of thienopyridines by the Gewald reaction was documented. For example, 214 was prepared in 92% yield by cyanoacetylation of a polymer support and the reaction of the resulting ester on the polymer support with sulfur and piperidin-4-one 212 followed by acylation and elimination of the polymer matrix (2001TL7181). 

An extended application of the resin-capture-release technique is depicted in Scheme 13. With the help of reagent 31, a functionalized pyridine was captured as an acyl pyridinium cation 32 on a solid support which was followed by Grignard addition and hydrolysis under acidic conditions to afford polymer-supported N-acylated dehydropyridinones 33 [39]. Advantageously, any unreacted acylium complex collapses to the parent resin upon workup. These heterocycles, which ideally can serve as scaffolds, are then released under basic conditions.
