Abstract

Abstract Methods for solid phase synthesis of N-alkyl amides comprise reductive amination of carbonyl compounds using a reducing agent and an amine-containing linker bound to a solid support. The methods afford high yields of linker-bound, monoalkylated amines, and subsequent coupling with acid derivatives provide derivatized N-substituted amides in excellent yields after cleavage from the solid-phase. Compositions useful in solid phase synthesis are also described.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim 97 words
A method for the solid phase synthesis of an N-substituted amide product, comprising: a) providing: i) a carbonyl compound, ii) a linker bound to a solid support, said solid support-bound linker comprising at least one amine group, iii) a reducing agent, and iv) an aqueous solvent system; b) reacting said amine group of said solid support-bound linker with said carbonyl compound and said reducing agent, said reaction occurring in the presence of said aqueous solvent system and yielding an N-alkylated solid support-bound linker; and c) treating said N-alkylated solid support-bound linker, thereby generating said N-substituted amide product.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 97 words
A method for the solid phase synthesis of an N-substituted amide product, comprising: a) providing: i) a carbonyl compound, ii) a linker bound to a solid support, said solid support-bound linker comprising at least one amine group, iii) a reducing agent, and iv) an aqueous solvent system; b) reacting said amine group of said solid support-bound linker with said carbonyl compound and said reducing agent, said reaction occurring in the presence of said aqueous solvent system and yielding an N-alkylated solid support-bound linker; and c) treating said N-alkylated solid support-bound linker, thereby generating said N-substituted amide product.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 23 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said linker is selected from the group consisting of benzhydrylamine, benzhydrylamine derivatives, methylbenzhydrylamine and methylbe drylamine derivatives.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 15 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said solid support-bound linker is 4 (2',4'-dimethoxyphenyl)-aminomethyl!-phenoxymethyl-linked polystyrene resin.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 19 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said carbonyl compound is selected from the group consisting of aldehydes and ketones.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 14 words
