Traceless solid-phase synthesis of hydroxylated cyclopentenones

Intramolecular nitrone-alkene cycloadditions on solid phase can be performed using polymer-bound hydroxylamine. Condensation of this reagent with sugar derived 4-pentenals followed by N-O cleavage, quaternization of the amine thus produced, and finally oxidative elimination of the amino group detaches the chiral hydroxylated cyclopentenones from the polymer. The natural antibiotic pentenomycin I was prepared in this way.

A representative set of 22 compounds was prepared.     

Traceless solid-phase synthesis of 2-amino-5-alkylidene-thiazol-4-ones

2-Amino-5-alkylidene-thiazol-4-ones bearing two diversity points are prepared by a solid-phase strategy exploiting rhodanine as the starting material. Rhodanine is first loaded on bromo-Wang resin, subjected to Knovenagel condensation with aldehydes, and cleaved off the resin in a traceless manner by means of an amine.     

Traceless solid-phase synthesis of bicyclic dihydropyrimidones using multidirectional cyclization cleavage

Solid-phase and solution-phase protocols for the synthesis of furo[3,4-d]pyrimidines, pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines, and pyrimido[4,5-d]pyridazines are reported. The multistep solid-phase sequence involves the initial high-speed, microwave-promoted acetoacetylation of hydroxymethylpolystyrene resin with methyl 4-chloroacetoacetate. The immobilized 4-chloroacetoacetate precursor was subsequently subjected to three-component Biginelli-type condensations employing urea and a variety of aromatic aldehydes. The resulting 6-chloromethyl-functionalized resin-bound dihydropyrimidones served as common chemical platforms for the generation of the desired heterobicyclic scaffolds using three different traceless cyclative cleavage strategies. The corresponding furo[3,4-d]pyrimidines were obtained by microwave flash heating in a rapid, thermally triggered, cyclative release. Treatment of the chloromethyl dihydropyrimidone intermediates with a variety of primary amines followed by high-temperature microwave heating furnished the anticipated pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine scaffolds via nucleophilic cyclative cleavage. In a similar way, reaction with monosubstituted hydrazines resulted in the formation of pyrimido[4,5-d]pyridazines. All compounds were obtained in moderate to good overall yields and purities.

[reaction: see text]. A solid-phase route to 5-aryl-3-arylthiomethyl-1,2,4-triazoles has been developed that permits the incorporation of two elements of diversity. The heterocycle was constructed upon a novel 4-benzyloxy-2-methoxybenzylamine (BOMBA) resin, from which traceless cleavage could be effected with dilute TFA. A library of 96 triazoles was produced with an average yield of 26% (84% yield per step) and an average purity of 80%. In a direct comparison, the new BOMBA resin proved to be markedly superior to Rink Amide resin for this application.

A highly regioselective and traceless solid-phase route to N1,N7-disubstituted purines has been developed. Key steps in the reaction strategy involves (i) coupling of 6-chloropurine to the REM resin (Michael addition), (ii) oxidation, (iii) N1-alkylation, (iv) quaternization, and (v) product release through Hofmann elimination. A library of 15 N1,N7-disubstituted purines was synthesized.     

Traceless solid-phase synthesis of multiple sulfonamide-containing cyclic sulfides exploiting microwave irradiation

In this Letter, a new synthetic method of sulfonamide-containing cyclic sulfides using a microwave-assisted traceless solid-phase approach is described. Using this new method, many highly pure cyclic sulfides were efficiently synthesized based on intramolecular alkylation of the sulfides followed by elimination of the desired products from the generated sulfonium salts.     

Efficient solid-phase synthesis of 1,3,5-trisubstituted 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triones

The solid-phase synthesis of 1,3-disubstituted and 1,3,5-trisubstituted 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triones from MBHA and Wang resin is described. Reaction of resin-bound amino acids with isocyanates yield resin-bound ureas, which further react with chlorocarbonyl isocyanate in toluene at 65 degrees C to selectively afford the resin-bound 1,3-disubstituted 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triones. Selective alkylation at the N-5 position of the resin-bound 1,3-disubstituted 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triones was accomplished by treatment with alkyl halides in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU). The desired products were cleaved from their solid support and obtained in good yield and purity. The method can be employed in production of toltrazuril analogue libraries for identification of new anticoccidial agents.     

Traceless solid-phase synthesis of N-substituted 3,5-bis(substituted-idene)piperidin-4-one derivatives

A series of N-substituted 3,5-bis(substituted-idene)piperidin-4-ones have been prepared using solid-phase organic synthesis. The synthesis starts with a Michael addition with piperidin-4-one serving as the donor and REM resin as the acceptor. Various aldehydes were then utilized through a Knoevenagel condensation to afford the 3,5-bis(substituted-idene)piperidin-4-ones on the solid support. The final products were removed from the support and a second diversity position was introduced through a Hofmann elimination using different alkyl bromides.     

An efficient solid-phase synthesis of 2-alkyl-4,6-diaminopyrimidines and 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidines

An efficient and simple approach for the solid-phase synthesis of 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidines and 2-alkyl-4,6-diaminopyrimidines is described. Primary amines were immobilized on 2-(4-formyl-3-methoxyphenoxy)ethyl polystyrene resin via reductive amination. Attachment of two different 4,6-dichloropyrimidines led to the corresponding 4-chloro-6-aminopyrimidine intermediates. Aromatic nucleophilic substitution with various aliphatic amines or the corresponding lithium amides afforded the desired aminopyrimidines in high yield and excellent purity after acidic cleavage from the resin. The products were characterized by LC-MS, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Deuterium exchange experiments revealed that the investigated aminopyrimidines have a general tendency toward C-5 protonation.     

Traceless solid-phase synthesis and biological evaluation of purine analogs as inhibitors of multidrug resistance protein 4

The traceless solid-phase syntheses of 6-oxopurines and pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines are presented. The effects of these compounds on multidrug resistance protein 4 (MRP4/ABCC4) facilitated efflux was examined. Four of the compounds, 7b, 7c, 15a, and 17e, were active in inhibiting MRP4-mediated efflux of the bimane-glutathione conjugate. In addition, all four compounds were also able to reverse MRP4-mediated resistance to the anticancer drug 6-thioguanine. In the presence of 25 microM 15a or 17e, there was complete reversal. The reversal of resistance was achieved without any effects on the uptake and metabolism of 6-thioguanine.

The preparation of pyrimidine-2-thione, pyrimidine-2-one, pyrimidine, and benzo[b][1,4]diazepine derivatives using traceless solid-phase sulfone linker strategy is described. Key steps involved are (i) sulfinate S-alkylation, (ii) sulfone anion alkylation with an epoxide, (iii) gamma-hydroxyl sulfone --> gamma-ketosulfone oxidation, and (iv) traceless product release by a one-pot elimination-cyclization process. Elimination-cyclization was carried out under basic conditions with thiourea, methyl thiourea, methyl urea, guanidine hydrochloride, benzamidine hydrochloride and ortho-phenylene diamine. Twenty-three compounds were prepared, and 14 of them were evaluated by the Batrachotoxin (BTX) radioligand binding assay for their binding affinity to neuronal sodium channels. Compound 7c was found to be a potential neuronal sodium channels blocker.

N-Alloc-3-amino-3-(2-fluoro-5-nitrophenyl)propionic acid was tethered to Rink resin via its carboxylic group. The protected amine was coupled with an organic acid after Alloc-deprotection and the arylfluorine was displaced with a primary amine to generate a resin-bound aniline with two diversity points. The aniline was released via cleavage to produce the desired products in high yield and purity.

Supported triazoles showed excellent compatibility with subsequent peptide chemistry. Release of pure material (typically >95%) from the solid support was readily achieved by treatment with aqueous TFA.
