Solid phase synthesis compounds

Starting material, we reported the synthesis of four different tricyclic architectures (38-4-1) that were obtained using RCM [29]. For the solid-phase synthesis, compound 42 was obtained from 37 and was successfully loaded onto the alkylsilyl linker-based polystyrene macrobeads, providing 43. In one study, compound 43 was successfully transformed using RCM into the six-membered-ring unsaturated lactam 44. Using this method for library generation remains to be undertaken. 

Triazole-linked analogs of deoxyribonucleic acid or ribonucleic acids ( -DNA and RNA), in which every phosphate unit is replaced by a 1,2,3-triazole moiety, were also prepared, either in solution or using solid-phase synthesis (compounds 47 and 48) (Figure 10.12). Interestingly, the duplex of oligo dT with dA DNA... 

Memfield s concept of a solid phase method for peptide synthesis and his devel opment of methods for carrying it out set the stage for an entirely new way to do chem ical reactions Solid phase synthesis has been extended to include numerous other classes of compounds and has helped spawn a whole new field called combinatorial chemistry Combinatorial synthesis allows a chemist using solid phase techniques to prepare hun dreds of related compounds (called libraries) at a time It is one of the most active areas of organic synthesis especially m the pharmaceutical industry... 

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. 

One widely used method involving protected compounds is solid-phase synthesis (polymer-supponed reagents). This method has the advantage of requiring only a simple workup by filtration such as in automated syntheses, especially of polypeptides, oligonucleotides, and oligosaccharides. 

Representative examples of the recent applications of controlled microwave heating in solid-phase synthesis of heterocychc compounds are summarized. The preparation of monocyclic compoimds is presented hrst, followed by a description of the synthesis of polycyclic structures. 

High throughput methods have increased our capacity for appropriate candidate compounds selection and also for developing libraries of novel compounds from which such candidates can be selected. Chapter 7 discusses the use of solid-phase synthesis for the high throughput production of peptides and other small molecules. In addition, as discussed in Chapter 6 on peptidomimetics, the swift production of novel leads holds considerable promise for future discovery of novel therapeutic agents. 

A further extension to this concept was (dimethylsilyl)propionic acid linker 75 used for the solid-phase synthesis of aryl-containing organic compounds [86], The linker was cleaved smoothly with TFA and has been used for the synthesis of compounds which involved alkylation, acylation, and Mitsunobu reactions.

Such compounds have been used in the solid-phase synthesis of oligoribonucleotides. In the synthesis of (Up)8U, for example, the coupling reaction gave a yield of 96%.[105]... 

Numerous resin supports are commercially available for solid-phase synthesis and some allow the acquisition of quite reasonable quality spectra of compounds bonded to them - and some don t. The resins to avoid (if you intend trying to monitor your reactions by MAS-NMR) are any that are based purely on cross-linked polystyrene. These are too rigid and afford little or no mobility to any bound compound. These resins are relatively cheap and have high specific loadings but will give very poor spectra even in a MAS probe. We see little point in running spectra of compounds on these resins as the quality of the spectra make them virtually useless - and perhaps worse - potentially misleading. 

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>. 

Various heterocyclic structures, among them 3-substituted-hexahydro-277-pyrimido[l,2- ]pyrimidin-2-ones 190, have been prepared by solid-phase synthesis. The acetates 187 were reacted with diaminoalkanes, the resulting diamines 188 cyclized with BrCN to the monocyclic compounds 189, which were cleaved and cyclized with Et3N to give 190 (Scheme 30) <2005TL5289>. 

Sequential pyrrolidine and hydantoin ring-forming reactions via intramolecular [2+3] cycloaddition have been applied to the stereoselective solid-phase synthesis of conformationally constrained tricyclic triazacyclopenta [C]pentalene scaffold 43 < 1999JOC8342>. These novel compounds 43 share the structural complexity characteristic of certain alkaloid natural products, angular triquinanes. The retrosynthetic analysis is shown in Scheme 87. 

A solid-phase synthesis of pyrroloindolizines has been developed using this cycloaddition methodology, whereby an isoxazolopyrroloindolizine can be removed from the polymeric resin upon treatment with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). This also results in ring opening of the isoxazole to give the isolated compound 210 (Scheme 58). A library of 96 such derivatives has been prepared in this way <1998TL5869>. 

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. 

Combs and coworkers have presented a study on the solid-phase synthesis of oxa-zolidinone antimicrobials by microwave-mediated Suzuki coupling [38], A valuable oxazolidinone scaffold was coupled to Bal resin (PS-PEG resin with a 4-formyl-3,5-dimethoxyphenoxy linker) to afford the corresponding resin-bound secondary amine (Scheme 7.18). After subsequent acylation, the resulting intermediate was transformed to the corresponding biaryl compound by microwave-assisted Suzuki coupling. Cleavage with trifluoroacetic acid/dichloromethane yielded the desired target structures.
