Novel polymer-supported chiral catalysts for asymmetric synthesis

Hydroxy amino acid monomers 3, 5 and amino acid monomers 10, 11 were prepared. Suspension polymerization of these chiral monomers with styrene and crosslinking agent afforded insoluble chiral polymers which were used as chiral ligands of the enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction catalysts. A continuous flow system using polymeric catalyst was also successfully achieved in the same reaction.     

Utility of polymer-supported reagents in the total synthesis of lamellarins

Four solid-supported reagents have been utilized in the multistep synthesis of lamellarins. The use of Amberlyst A-26 Br(3)(-) and polymer bound pyridine hydrobromide perbromide (PVPHP) for keto alpha-bromination of the less studied ortho-substituted acetophenone derivatives selectively furnished the corresponding monobromination products (phenacyl bromide derivatives), which were used directly in condensation reactions with benzyldihydroisoquinoline mediated by Amberlyst A-26 NaCO(3)(-). The 2H-pyrrole carbonates subsequently underwent intramolecular Friedel-Crafts transacylation followed by lactonization to provide the lamellarin skeleton. Alternatively, Amberlyst A-26 NaCO(3)(-) effectively served as base in condensation reaction of benzyldihydroisoquinoline with alpha-nitrocinnamate derivatives to provide the corresponding 2-ethoxycarbonyl pyrroles, which smoothly underwent O-debenzylation reaction followed by lactonization to furnish the lamellarin skeleton. The novel Amberlyst-15 mediated lactonization reactions effectively combined the otherwise two separate steps into a single transformation.     

PS-COD and PS-9-BBN: polymer-supported reagents for solution-phase parallel synthesis

1,5-Cyclooctadiene was deprotonated under LICKOR conditions and reacted with Merrifield resin to afford an immobilized cyclooctadiene in high yield. This polymer is effective as a halogen scavenger, while hydroboration leads to a supported 9-BBN analogue. The latter exhibits similar regioselectivity to 9-BBN in olefin hydroboration.

An expeditious and convenient synthesis of acylsulfonamides utilizing polymer-supported reagents

Acylsulfonamides can be rapidly and conveniently synthesized from a variety of carboxylic acids and sulfonamides utilizing the commercially available reagents, PS-DCC and DMAP under mild reaction conditions. DMAP can be efficiently scavenged by utilization of a silica-supported tosic acid cartridge (Si-SCX). In most of the cases studied, products with high purities and yields were obtained without the need for further purification.     

New polyfunctional magnesium reagents for organic synthesis

The iodine-magnesium exchange reaction allows the preparation of polyfunctional aryl, heteroaryl, or alkenyl magnesium reagents at low temperature. These reagents display the typical reactivity of Grignard compounds and undergo various copper-catalyzed reactions such as allylation or 1,4-addition. Using this halogen-metal exchange reaction, it was possible to generate polyfunctional magnesium reagents on the solid phase.     

New and efficient synthesis of solid-supported organotin reagents and their use in organic synthesis

Novel resin-bound organotin reagents have been prepared, including for the first time resin-bound dimethyl tin reagents. Mild methodology has also been developed for the very efficient synthesis of resin-bound distannanes. The resin-bound tin chloride reagents have been used in a catalytic Stille coupling cycle and the resin-bound distannanes have been used in atom transfer cyclisations and proved to be much more effective than previously described resin-bound distannanes. As expected the use of resin-bound tin reagents facilitated their easy removal at the end of the reaction, and consequently residual tin levels in the organic products were low or negligible. The resin-bound distannanes could not, however, be successfully used for the palladium catalysed stannylation of a simple aryl iodide, which would have provided a useful approach to radiolabeling of aromatic substrates. The reasons for the failure in the stannylation process is unclear but crystal structure evidence indicates that there is a hypervalent interaction between the resin-bound tin atom and an adjacent ether oxygen which may effect the reactivity of the tin intermediates in the stannylation sequence.     

Novel proton acceptor immonium-type coupling reagents: application in solution and solid-phase peptide synthesis

A novel proton acceptor coupling reagent shows superiority to those described previously. The oxygen in the carbocation moiety confers more solubility to the reagent. Furthermore, it enhances coupling yields and decreases racemization, allowing the use of 1 equiv of base.     

Polymer-micelle incarcerated scandium as a polymer-supported catalyst for high-throughput organic synthesis

A novel immobilization technique for Sc(OTf)3, a polymer-micelle incarcerated (PMI) method, has been developed. PMI Sc(OTf)3 is highly active in several fundamental carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. The catalyst is recovered quantitatively by simple filtration and reused several times without loss of catalytic activity, and no Sc leaching was observed in all reactions (<0.1 ppm). In addition, several solvents are available, and these aspects are suitable for high-throughput organic synthesis (HTOS). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of immobilization of Lewis acids utilizing polymer micelles.

High-yield solution-phase synthesis of di- and trinucleotide blocks assisted by polymer-supported reagents

A new solution-phase phosphoramidite approach is reported for oligonucleotide synthesis employing recyclable solid-supported reagents. It uses polyvinyl pyridinium tosylate as the activator of a nucleoside-3'-O-phosphoramidite in the coupling step with a 5'-OH nucleoside or dinucleotide. The resulting phosphite triester was either sulfurized or oxidized using polystyrene-bound trimethylammonium tetrathionate or periodiate. This method avoids complicated purification steps, as excess reagents are easily removed by filtration. [reaction: see text]
