Microwave-assisted solid-phase synthesis of pseudopeptides containing reduced amide bond

Procedures were developed for reducing the reaction time and improving the yield of reductive alkylation in solid phase pseudopeptide synthesis by utilizing microwave irradiation. We chose dipeptides containing the reduced amide bond ψ[CH₂NH] as a model system and optimized the microwave assisted reductive alkylation reaction in solid phase pseudopeptide synthesis using Fmoc chemistry. Under the optimized condition, the reductive alkylation reaction used for incorporating the reduced amide bond into the dipeptides was completed in only 8.5 min, whereas the normal reductive alkylation reaction required a total of 300 min. The purity and yield of the various dipeptides containing the reduced amide bond synthesized in this way are better than those achieved using the reductive alkylation method without microwave irradiation. We chose α helical peptides, which are known as a difficult sequence to synthesize, and incorporated the reduced amide bond by the microwave-assisted reductive alkylation reaction. We successfully synthesized pseudopeptides containing the reduced amide bond as a major product by using the novel microwave-assisted method, whereas the same products were obtained as a minor product when using the reductive alkylation method without microwave irradiation.

Synthesis of phenylacetylene containing 1,2,3-triazole group

Bromination of (E)-1-[4-(2-carboxy-vinyl)phenyl]-[1,2,3]triazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester, which was synthesized in 90% yield by a Huisgen-type [3 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction between 3-(4-azidophenyl) acrylic acid and ethyl propiolate, in CHCl₃ followed by a debrominative decarboxylation reaction with Et₃N in DMF under microwave irradiation condition afforded stereoselective (Z)-1-(4-(2-bromovinyl)phenyl)-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester in 94% yield. Treatment of (Z)-1-(4-(2-bromovinyl)phenyl)-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester with EtONa in DMF afforded 1-(4-ethynylphenyl)-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester in a yield of 90%.     

Microwave-Assisted Solid Phase Organic Synthesis.Application to Indole Library Construction

Microwave-assisted organic synthesis (MAOS) has attained increasing popularity due to recent advancement in the instrumentation of microwave technology. Now, MAOS can be performed under controlled temperature and pressure to yield reproducible results. For combinatorial chemistry,the dramatically increased reaction rate under microwave irradiation at high temperature provides an ideal solution to those sluggish reactions, in particular the combinatorial reactions carried out on solid supports. In this presentation, we describe our results on microwave-assisted solid-phase organic synthesis (MASPOS) applied to the construction of indole libraries such as 5. Compounds 4 were synthesized on the Rink amide resins using IRORI MicroKanTM reactors encoded with a radio-frequency (Rf) tag. The resin-bound terminal alkynes 2, prepared via the amide bond, were cross-coupled with the nitroaryl triflate under the conditions adopted from the solution reactions developed by us1,2. The nitro group of 3 was then reduced and sulfonylated to give 4. Ring closure reactions within 4 with Cu(OAc)2 were examined initially in refluxing DCE for 24 h, but no indole product was detected after cleavage from the resin. Therefore, the same reactions were carried out under microwave irradiation at 200 ℃ for 10 min on a Personal Chemistry Emrys Creator, the desired indoles 5 were obtained in 60-95% overall yields calculated from 1 and in ＞90% purities in most cases3. It is necessary to mention that the IRORI microreactors cannot tolerate the high temperature and the resin-bound 4 must be transferred to the reaction vials for the microwave-assisted ring closure reactions. A traceless synthesis of an indole library via MASPOS will be discussed as well.4     

Covalent immobilization of Candida antarctica lipase B on nanopolystyrene and its application to microwave-assisted esterification

Nanopolystyrene was used as a solid support for the covalent immobilization of Candida antarctica lipase B (CalB) using the photoreactive reagent 1-fluoro-2-nitro-4-azido benzene (FNAB) as a coupling reagent. The obtained derivative was then used as a biocatalyst in a microwave assisted esterification experiment. Factors such as contact time, pH, and enzyme concentration were investigated during immobilization. The hydrolytic activity, thermal, and operational stability of immobilized-CalB were determined. The maximum immobilized yield (218 μg/mg support) obtained at pH 6.8 exhibited optimum hydrolytic activity (4.42 × 10³ mU p-nitrophenol/min). The thermal stability of CalB improved significantly when it was immobilized at pH 10, however, the immobilized yield was very low (93.6 μg/mg support). The immobilized-CalB prepared at pH 6.8 and pH 10 retained 50% of its initial activity after incubation periods of 14 and 16 h, respectively, at 60 ℃. The operational stability was investigated for the microwave assisted esterification of oleic acid with methanol. Immobilized-CalB retained 50% of its initial activity after 15 batch cycles in the microwave-assisted esterification. The esterification time was notably reduced under microwave irradiation. The combined use of a biocatalyst and microwave heating is thus an alternative total green synthesis process.

Rapid microwave-assisted liquid-phase combinatorial synthesis of 2-(arylamino)benzimidazoles

An efficient, facile, and practical liquid-phase combinatorial synthesis of benzimidazoles under microwave irradiation is described. In the first step of reaction sequence, polymer-bound activated aryl fluoride was condensed with selective primary amines via an ipso-fluoro displacement reaction. Reduction of the polymer-bound nitro group followed by cyclization with isothiocyanates afforded immobilized benzimidazoles. The desired products were obtained in high yield with high purity after detaching from the soluble matrix. All reactions involved (S(N)Ar reaction, reduction, cyclization, and support cleavage) were performed completely within a few minutes under microwave irradiation. The coupling of microwave technology with liquid-phase combinatorial synthesis constitutes a novel and particularly attractive avenue for the rapid generation of structurally diverse libraries.     

Microwave-assisted continuous reactive distillation process for preparation of ethyl acetate

As a novel process intensification technology, microwave-assisted continuous reaction distillation (MRD) was proposed for the esterification reaction and separation of ethyl acetate (EtOAc). The effects of reflux ratio, mole ratio of acetic acid (HOAc) to ethanol (EtOH), reboiler duty, microwave power on EtOH conversions, EtOAc purity and mass ratio of distillate to feed (D/F) were explored. In comparison with conventional heating, the experimental results revealed that the EtOAc purity in the distillate under microwave conditions (MC) was improved. Computer simulations for conventional and MRD systems were performed using the Aspen Plus non-equilibrium stage model to substantiate the experimental results. The model predictions are in good agreement with the experimental data, revealing the accuracy and reliability of the non-equilibrium model. This new MRD process can be an effective and productive method of ester production.

Microwave-assisted traceless synthesis of hydantion-fused β-carboline scaffold

Multistep microwave-assisted reactions toward the synthesis of hydantoin-fused tricyclic tetrahydro-β-carbolines on the soluble polymer support have been developed. Polymer-bound tryptophan with various aldehydes has been subjected to Pictet-Spengler reaction to obtain tricyclic β-carboline conjugates. The terminal hydantoinyl moiety is constructed across polymer-bound β-carbolines by the reaction with various isocyanates under microwave irradiation to form urea intermediate. Simultaneous intramolecular cyclization of urea followed by cleavage of the polymer support leads to a traceless synthesis of tetracyclic scaffolds in high yield and high purity.     

Sustainable Access to Acridin-9-(10H)ones with an Embedded m-Terphenyl Moiety Based on a Three-Component Reaction

A Ce(IV)-catalyzed three-component reaction between chalcones, anilines and β-ketoesters followed by a microwave-assisted thermal cyclization afforded 1,3-diaryl-1,2-dihydroacridin-9(10H)-ones. Their microwave irradiation in nitrobenzene, acting both as solvent and oxidant, afforded fully unsaturated 1,3-diarylacridin-9(10H)-ones, which combine acridin-9-(10H)one and m-terphenyl moieties. Overall, the route generates three C-C and one C-N bond and has the advantage of requiring a single chromatographic separation.     

Microwave-assisted synthesis of ethyl laurate using immobilized lipase: Optimization,mechanism and thermodynamic studies

Microwave-assisted synthesis of ethyl laurate using lauric acid and ethanol catalyzed by Fermase CALB has been investigated. The effect of operating parameters like molar ratio (lauric acid: ethanol), enzyme loading, temperature, and molecular sieves was systematically studied. A maximum conversion of 98.2% was obtained in 10 ​min compared to the conventional method, where the reaction required 4 ​h to achieve 92.4% conversion. The optimum parameters for the microwave-assisted synthesis were 1:2 ​M ratio of lauric acid to ethanol, 45 ​°C temperature, 1.8% (w/w) enzyme amount, 1.5% (w/w) molecular sieves. The enzyme lipase was reused for up to seven successive cycles under microwave irradiation. The thermodynamic study was carried out to determine various thermodynamic parameters for the reaction. The esterification mechanism was proposed, and the impact of microwave irradiation on the immobilized enzyme after several reuse was studied by scanning electron microscopy.     

Hydrolysis of poly(l-lactic acid) using microwave irradiation

Poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) was hydrolyzed using microwave irradiation, and yields of the resultant lactic acid and reaction time were compared with those obtained by conventional heating. In both cases, the reaction temperature was maintained at 170 °C and the weight ratio of PLLA:H₂O was 3:1. Under conventional heating, the lactic acid yield reached saturation after 800 min at 45%, whereas only 120 min was required to reach the same yield level under microwave irradiation. The optical purity under conventional heating decreased with hydrolysis of the PLLA and dropped to 94%ee when the lactic acid yield reached at 45%. Under microwave irradiation, however, the optical purity decreased only after the equilibrium state of hydrolysis was attained. Therefore, to maintain the optical purity at 98%ee, it was necessary to stop microwave irradiation when the lactic acid yield reached 45%.     

Liquid phase synthesis of chiral quinoxalinones by microwave irradiation

Single mode microwave-assisted combinatorial synthesis of biologically interesting quinoxalinones is described.

Biologically interesting benzimidazoles were readily assembled utilizing S_NAr reactions, reduction, and followed with mercury(II) mediated cyclization under microwave irradiation. The desired products were then liberated from the soluble matrix in excellent yield and purity after cleavage.     

Novel synthesis of polyimide with pendant 1-phenylethyl ester using DBU and its thermal acid-catalyzed deesterification

A model reaction of o-(N-phenylcarbamoyl)benzoic acid (amic acid) with threefold amounts of 1-phenylethyl bromide (PEB) and 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5,4,0]-7-undecene (DBU) was carried out in NMP. The reaction gave N-[m-(1-phenylethoxycarbonyl)phenyl]phthalimide in almost quantitative yield at room temperature for 2 h. Polyimide containing pendant 1-phenylethyl ester (P-1a) was also prepared from polyamic acid with PEB using DBU according to the model reaction. The obtained polymer was exactly consistent with P-1a synthesized stepwise from the esterification of the corresponding polyimide containing pendant carboxylic acid with PEB. Therefore, the reaction of polyamic acid bearing pendant carboxylic acid with alkyl bromide proceeded quantitatively to give polyimide containing pendant ester in the presence of DBU. Also, this method was applied to the synthesis of polyimide containing 1-phenylethyl ether. However, the polyimide with quantitative etherification was not synthesized. The acid-catalyzed deesterification of P-1a film was carried out by heating the irradiated polymer film containing 10 wt % of p-nitrobenzyl 9,10-diethoxyanthracene-2-sulfonate, which produced sulfonic acid by irradiation, at various temperatures. Although thermal deesterification of P-1a started at 220°C without any acid catalyst, the deesterification occurred when the irradiated film was heated at the lower temperature. The degree of esterification can be determined from the disappearance of absorption at 700 cm⁻¹. The deesterification obeyed first-order kinetics. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Microwave-assisted synthesis of highly substituted aminomethylated 2-pyridones

By employing microwave-assisted organic synthesis (MAOS) efficient conditions to introduce aminomethylene substituents in highly substituted bicyclic 2-pyridones have been established. Primary amino methylene substituents were introduced via a cyanodehalogenation followed by a borane dimethyl sulfide reduction of the afforded nitrile. In both of these transformations, microwave irradiation proved to be superior to traditional conditions and the primary amines were obtained in good overall yields (55-58% over three steps). To incorporate tertiary aminomethylene substituents in the 2-pyridone framework, a microwave-assisted Mannich reaction using preformed iminium salts proved to be effective. Thus highly substituted 2-pyridones were obtained in 48-93% yields.
