Several reviews on the synthesis and reactions of aziridines have been published in the previous year. These publications include a review on [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements of vinylaziridines <07SL1190>, a review on the synthesis and reactivity of C-heteroatom-substituted aziridines <07CRV2080>, a review on aziridines in parallel- and solid-phase synthesis <07EJO1717>, and a review on less conventional reactions of aziridines in synthesis <07PAC269>. 

The often potent biological properties of piperidine derivatives underlie their vast use in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and natural products. It is for this reason that there exists a myriad of synthetic routes to variously functionalized and substituted piperidine derivatives, which will be highlighted in the subsequent section. In the past year there have been two reviews highlighting two approaches to the synthesis of piperidines. One review focused on the use of aziridines in parallel and solid-phase synthesis of substituted piperidine derivatives as well as other scaffolds <07EJO1717>. The other review covered the synthesis of 3-arylpiperidines by radical 1,4- and 1,2-aryl migration <07T7187>. 

The major impetus for the development of solid phase synthesis centers around applications in combinatorial chemistry. The notion that new drug leads and catalysts can be discovered in a high tiuoughput fashion has been demonstrated many times over as is evidenced from the number of publications that have arisen (see references at the end of this chapter). A number of )proaches to combinatorial chemistry exist. These include the split-mix method, serial techniques and parallel methods to generate libraries of compounds. The advances in combinatorial chemistry are also accompani by sophisticated methods in deconvolution and identification of compounds from libraries. In a number of cases, innovative hardware and software has been developed tor these purposes.

If small or medium libraries for lead optimization are demanded and all synthetic products are to be screened individually, most often parallel synthesis is the method of choice. Parallel syntheses can be conducted in solution, on solid phase, with polymer-assisted solution phase syntheses or with a combination of several of these methods. Preferably, parallel syntheses are automated, either employing integrated synthesis robots or by automation of single steps such as washing, isolation, or identification. The latter concept often allows a more flexible and less expensive automation of parallel synthesis. 

Microwave and fluorous technologies have been combined in the solution phase parallel synthesis of 3-aminoimidazo[l,2-a]pyridines and -pyrazines [63]. The three-component condensation of a perfluorooctane-sulfonyl (Rfs = CgFiy) substituted benzaldehyde by microwave irradiation in a single-mode instrument at 150 °C for 10 min in CH2CI2 - MeOH in the presence of Sc(OTf)3 gave the imidazo-annulated heterocycles that could be purified by fluorous solid phase extraction (Scheme 9). Subsequent Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of the fluorous sulfonates with arylboronic acids or thiols gave biaryls or aryl sulfides, respectively, albeit it in relatively low yields. 

Microwave-assisted solid-phase parallel synthesis has also been reported using multi-well filter-bottom polypropylene plates [45,155]. However, it should be mentioned that the thermal instability of the polypropylene plates is a limitation of this setup. In addition, uneven heating across the plate results in higher temperatures (AT 10-20 °C) being observed at the center of the plate than at the edges. 

Solid-phase, parallel-synthesis approaches to the imidazole derivatives 49 <96TL937>, 50 and 51 <96TL835>, 52 <96TL751>, and 53 <96TL4865> were also reported in 1996. 

The protocol offers a direct and efficient method for the synthesis of the boronic ester in the solid phase, which hitherto met with little success using classical methodology (Scheme 1-42). A solid-phase boronate (113 [155], 114 [156]) is quantitatively obtained by treating a polymer-bound iodoarene with the diboron (82). The subsequent coupling with haloarenes furnishes various biaryls. The robot synthesis or the parallel synthesis on the surface of resin is the topic of further accounts of the research.

Today, multi-parallel synthesis lies at the forefront of organic and medicinal chemistry, and plays a major role in lead discovery and lead optimization programs in the pharmaceutical industry. The first solid-phase domino reactions were developed by Tietze and coworkers [6] using a domino Knoevenagel/hetero-Diels-Alder and a domino Knoevenagel/ene protocol. Reaction of solid-phase bound 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds such as 10-22 with aldehydes and enol ethers in the presence of piperidinium acetate led to the 1-oxa-1,3-butadiene 10-23, which underwent an intermolecular hetero-Diels-Alder reaction with the enol ethers to give the resin-bound products 10-24. Solvolysis with NaOMe afforded the desired dihydro-pyranes, 10-25 with over 90 % purity. Ene reactions have also been performed in a similar manner [7]. 

Tietze and coworkers developed two new domino approaches in the field of combinatorial chemistry, which are of interest for the synthesis of bioactive compounds. Combinatorial chemistry can be performed either on solid phase or in solution using parallel synthesis. The former approach has the advantage that purification of the products is simple and an excess of reagents can be used. This is not possible for reactions in solution, but on the other hand all known transformations can be used. The Tietze group has now developed a protocol which combines the... 

Depending on the reaction temperature and reaction time, tetrahydroisoquinoline 357 afforded different mixtures of 1,2,3,4,11,11 a-hcxahydro-6//-pyrazino[ 1,2-3]isoquinolines 358-361 and tetracyclic compound 362 (Scheme 30) <2005JA16796>. Each of the individual diastereoisomers 358-361 could be transformed into the compound 362. z7r-3//,4a//-3-Phcnylpcrhydropyra/ino[ 1,2-7]isoquinoline-l,4-dione was prepared via automated parallel solid-phase synthesis on Kaiser oxime resin <1998BML2369>. l,2,3,5,6,7-Hexahydropyrido[l,2,3-r/f ]quinoxaline-2,5-dionc was obtained by catalytic hydrogenation of ethyl 3-(2-oxo-l,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5-quinoxalinyl)acrylate in the presence of TsOH over 5% Pd/C catalyst under 40 psi of hydrogen <1996JME4654>. 

Combinatorial chemistry and parallel synthesis are now the dominant methods of compound synthesis at the lead discovery stage [2]. The method of chemistry synthesis is important because it dictates compound physical form and therefore compound aqueous solubility. As the volume of chemistry synthetic output increases due to combinatorial chemistry and parallel synthesis, there is an increasing probability that resultant chemistry physical form will be amorphous or a neat material of indeterminate solid appearance. There are two major styles of combinatorial chemistry - solid-phase and solution-phase synthesis. There is some uncertainty as to the true relative contribution of each method to chemistry output in the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry. Published reviews of combinatorial library synthesis suggest that solid-phase synthesis is currently the dominant style contributing to about 80% of combinatorial libraries [3]. In solid-phase synthesis the mode of synthesis dictates that relatively small quantitities of compounds are made.

Other microwave-assisted parallel processes, for example those involving solid-phase organic synthesis, are discussed in Section 7.1. In the majority of the cases described so far, domestic multimode microwave ovens were used as heating devices, without utilizing specialized reactor equipment. Since reactions in household multimode ovens are notoriously difficult to reproduce due to the lack of temperature and pressure control, pulsed irradiation, uneven electromagnetic field distribution, and the unpredictable formation of hotspots (Section 3.2), in most contemporary published methods dedicated commercially available multimode reactor systems for parallel processing are used. These multivessel rotor systems are described in detail in Section 3.4. 

Varma and Kappe have developed a method that enables the rapid and parallel synthesis of DHPM 58 (Scheme 8.22) but does not rely on polymer-supported building blocks and therefore does not require the development of solid-phase linkingcleaving chemistry. They showed that polyphosphate ester (PPE) serves as an excel-...
