Polymer-assisted solution phase synthesis resin

Polymer-assisted solution-phase synthesis offers strategies for chemical library construction that complement solid-phase methods. Tools now available include chemoselective sequestering resins, bifunctional solution-phase linking reagents, bifunctional chemically tagged reagents, and an... 

Thus isolation of oxoammonium salts on insoluble, cross-linked polymer supports was investigated together with integration of the active resins in polymer-assisted solution phase synthesis [11], These isolated oxoammonium salts could be employed in a water-free system with the intention of generating a highly reactive oxidizing agent that avoids over-oxidation to the acid, because of the absence of water. 

Fig. 1. Polymer-assisted solution phase (PASP) synthesis combines the merits of solution-phase chemistry with the advantages of facilitated phase separation by using polymer reagents (a) or scavenger resins (b).

The polymer-assisted solution-phase (PASP) synthesis of a 192-member group of 1,5-biaryl pyrazoles from 1,3-diketones and 4-hydrazinobenzoic acid as precursors has been reported <2004JC0332>. Condensation of aromatic or aliphatic esters with resin-supported sulfonamides 527, followed by cyclization with hydrazines, activation with trimethylsilyldiazomethane, and cleavage using amines, provided highly substituted, isomeric pyrazoles 528 and 529 (Scheme 63) <20000L2789>. 

Polymer-assisted methodology has been used several times for parallel-array synthesis of libraries involving three to five synthetic steps. Scheme 11 shows a three-step solution-phase synthesis of 2-thioxo-4-dihydro-pyrimid-inones wherein the key purification step involved amine resin 1 to sequester excess aldehydes and isot,hiocyanates from upstream transformations. Thermal cyclization of the purified intermediates gave the desired 2-thioxo-4-dihydropyrimidinones in excellent yields and purities.83... 

Under certain condition, however, reactions are still preferably conducted in solution. This is the case e.g., for heterogeneous reactions and for conversions, which deliver complex product mixtures. In the latter case, further conversion of this mixture on the solid support is not desirable. In these instances, the combination of solution chemistry with polymer-assisted conversions can be an advantageous solution. Polymer-assisted synthesis in solution employs the polymer matrix either as a scavenger or for polymeric reagents. In both cases the virtues of solution phase and solid supported chemistry are ideally combined allowing for the preparation of pure products by filtration of the reactive resin. If several reactive polymers are used sequentially, multi-step syntheses can be conducted in a polymer-supported manner in solution as well. As a further advantage, many reactive polymers can be recycled for multiple use.
