Solid-phase linkers Wang linker

The solid-phase synthesis of the 2(lff)-pyrazinone scaffold is based on a Strecker reaction of commercially available Wang amide linker with appropriate aldehyde and tetramethylsilyl (TMS) cyanide, followed by cyclization of a-aminonitrile with oxalyl chloride resulting in the resin linked pyrazinones. This approach allows a wide diversity at the C-6-position of pyrazinone scaffold (Scheme 35, Table 1). As it has been shown for the solution phase, the sensitive imidoyl chloride moiety can easily undergo an addition/elimination reaction with in situ-generated sodium methoxide affording the resin-linked... 

For the solid-phase experiments [115], the commercially available Wang and HMPB-AM resins were chosen due their stability under the applied reaction conditions and an easy cleavage with TFA/DCM mixtures. Moreover, a novel, tailor-made and readily available linker, derived from inexpensive syringaldehyde was designed and proven to be superior to both standard Wang and HMPB-AM resins. For an initial study, as a proof of concept , the Wang linker was mimicked with a 4-methoxybenzyl group at N-1 position of a pyrazinone, and the sequence was evaluated in solution (Scheme 41). 

The investigation of minor groove-binding polyamides was greatly accelerated by the implementation of solid-phase synthesis [48]. Originally demonstrated on Boc-y9-Ala-PAM resin with Boc-protected monomers, it was also shown that Fmoc chemistry could be employed with suitably protected monomers and Fmoc-y9-Ala-Wang resin (Fig. 3.8) [49]. Recently, Pessi and coworkers used a sulfonamide-based safety-catch resin to prepare derivatives of hairpin polyamides [50]. Upon activation of the linker, resin-bound polyamides were readily cleaved with stoichiometric quantities of nucleophile to provide thioesters or peptide conjugates.

A very similar approach to the same solid-phase supported dendrimers was reported by Portnoy and coworkers by means of iterative Mitsunobu/reduction steps starting with a Wang resin [56]. They used [Gl] (loading 0.62 mmol g ) to [G3] (loading 0.32 mmol g ) dendrimers for synthetic applications. The synthesis of a tripeptide was carried out without previous linker introduction to yield a dendri-... 

Derivatization of functional groups in a natural-product scaffold can also be effectively performed on the solid-phase. An example of this is the synthesis of a small compound collection (27-compounds) based on the tetrahydroquinoline scaffold. A chiral tetrahydroquinoline scaffold was synthesized in solution from 5-hydroxy-2-nitrobenzaldehyde (Scheme 4). The synthesis involved a key asymmetric aminohydroxylation step. This building block was anchored to the solid support with a Wang linker and diversity was introduced by selective deprotection and derivatization of the protected hydroxyl and amino substituents. 

In a parallel study, Wipf and Fritch11041 have shown that also urethane-protected (Boc), and even amino acid segments, are tolerated as acyl compounds on the aziridine nitrogen. The best results were obtained with alkylcopper reagents derived from CuCN and an alkyl-lithium in the presence of boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex. Some 6-alkylated compounds (11-15%) were isolated as well. This work was extended to a solid-phase procedure that resulted in resin-bound alkene isosteres that could immediately be used in further peptide synthesis.11051 For this purpose, the 2-nitrophenylsulfonyl (oNbs) group was used for nitrogen protection and aziridine activation. It could be readily cleaved with benzenethio-late, which was compatible with the acid-sensitive Wang linker used. 

Dialkoxy- and trialkoxybenzyl esters are even more acid-labile than the Wang linker, and can, for example, be cleaved with dilute TFA, acetic acid, or hexafluoroiso-propanol without simultaneous acidolysis of Boc groups. These linkers thus enable the solid-phase synthesis of protected peptide fragments or other acid-sensitive products [33]. 

Nitro- or 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonamides of primary or secondary amines can be hydrolyzed under mildly basic conditions, and are increasingly being used for amine protection (see Section 10.1.10.7 [123,139,140]). /V-(2-Nitrobenzenesulfonyl)amino acids can be used as an alternative to TV-Fmoc amino acids for the solid-phase synthesis of peptides [141]. Deprotection is achieved by treatment of the polystyrene-bound sulfonamide with a solution of PhSH (0.5 mol/L) and K2C03 (2 mol/L) in DMF for 10 min at room temperature [141], conditions that do not lead to cleavage of esters (e.g. of the Wang linker) or to racemization. The condensation of polystyrene-bound sulfinamides H2N-SO-Pol with aldehydes yields /V-sulfinylimines, which add... 

For solid-phase synthesis various linker molecules were constructed on the ULTRA resin 15. To determine the optimal spacer length, ULTRA resins were coupled with spacers of variable length. With 4-(4 -acetoxy-methyl-3 -methoxy-phenoxy) butyrate and a loading of 2.5 mmol/g the synthesis of heterocycles and peptides was investigated. A pyrazole carboxylic acid was prepared using a procedure established for Wang polystyrene... 

To utilize the N -protected hydrazide approach for solid-phase synthesis, different hydrazide linkers for polystyrene resins were developed by Wang and MerrifieldP l (Table 2). Generally, the first N -protected amino acid is attached to the linker by treatment with DCC in presence of additives (HOBt, HOSu). The Bpoc groupf which is readily cleaved with 0.5% TFA in dichloromethane in 15 minutes at room temperature, was used as temporary N -protection. After completion of the peptide synthesis on the solid support, the hydrazides are cleaved from the resin with 50% TFA in 30 minutes. The dibenzocycloheptadienyl-hydrazide linker allows the synthesis of protected hydrazides by the Fmoc/tBu strategy, as the hydrazides are cleaved from the resin with 1% TFA in dichloromethane in less than 3 hours.
