Trimethylsilyl-directed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions in the solid-phase synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles.

[reaction: see text] A regioselective method for the preparation of 1,5-trisubstituted 1H-1,2,3-triazoles via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 1-trimethylsilylacetylenes with organoazides is described. Immobilization of the azide on REM resin and subsequent cycloaddition afforded a 2 x 2 x 4 x 3 membered 1,5-disubstituted 1H-1,2,3-triazole library with an average purified yield of 68%.

2-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octa-3,5-dione via a nitrile Diels-Alder reaction.

The hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of an electron-deficient nitrile, p-toluenesulfonyl cyanide, with the silyl enol ether of cyclohexenone produced a hydrolytically sensitive [4 + 2] adduct in good yield. Use of Mander's reagent, ethyl cyanoformate, with the same diene, produced an unstable adduct. Hydrolysis of the tosyl cyanide adduct resulted in the isoquinuclidinone 2-aza[2.2.2]octa-3,5-dione as a crystalline compound in excellent yield from the nitrile.

Oxa-di-pi-methane photochemical rearrangement of quinuclidinones. Synthesis of pyrrolizidinones.

[reaction: see text] The oxa-di-pi-methane (ODPM) photochemical rearrangement, a triplet-sensitized sigmatropic 1,2-acyl shift of beta,gamma-enones, was successful utilizing methyl and heptyl 1-aza-3-carboalkoxybicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-en-5-ones (quinuclidinones) as the photoprecursors. The cyclopropane of the heptyl ester tricyclic photoproduct could be opened with lithium dimethylcuprate or via hydrogenolysis to produce the corresponding pyrrolizidinone skeletons.

Alternative solvents for elevated-temperature solid-phase parallel synthesis. Application to thionation of amides.

A new class of higher-boiling solvents was investigated for elevated-temperature solid-phase parallel synthesis. Extremely low vapor pressures at high temperature and a broader range of solvent effect tuning make this new class of solvents an ideal choice for high-temperature parallel solid-phase synthesis. Benzyl benzoate is identified as a superior high-boiling solvent for parallel solid-phase Lawesson's thionation reactions.
