APPLICATION OF THE SULFONAMIDE FUNCTIONAL GROUP AS AN ANCHOR FOR SOLID PHASE ORGANIC SYNTHESIS (SPOS)

Abstract Sulfonyl chlorides have been found to readily couple to an amino functionalized resin. The resulting sulfonamide anchoring group is stable to a variety of reactions commonly used in SPOS. Acid induced cleavage is facile, affording functionalized sulfonamides in high yields.

Solid phase organic synthesis (SPOS): A novel route to diketopiperazines and diketomorpholines

SummaryThe solid phase synthesis of libraries containing a 1,3,4,6-tetrasubstituted-2,5-diketo-1,4-piperazine scaffold (DKP) or a 3,4,6-trisubstituted-2,5-diketo-1,4-morpholme scaffold (DKM) from α-bromocarboxylic acids and amines is described. Using a design strategy which we refer to as divergent library design, both templates were prepared from a common intermediate. The general utility of this synthetic route in creating novel, non-peptidyl chemical libraries is discussed.
