Microwave-assisted scavenging of electrophiles utilizing polymer-supported sequestration reagents. Application to the synthesis of N3-acylated dihydropyrimidine libraries.

Different scavenging techniques using polymer-supported sequestration agents are described for the purification steps in the synthesis of N3-acylated dihydropyrimidines. For scavenging both excess anhydride and unwanted byproducts, polystyrene and silica supported diamines, aminomethyl-functionalized SynPhase Lanterns and diethylenetriamine StratoSpheres Plugs are used. In both synthesis and purification microwave flash heating was utilized, reducing reaction times from hours to minutes. These two steps coupled with an efficient solid-phase extraction (SPE) workup allowed the generation of a 28-member library of N3-acylated dihydropyrimidines using anhydrides. Using related protocols a 15-member library of N3-functionalized dihydropyrimidines utilizing acid chlorides as acylating reagents was also obtained.

High-speed microwave-promoted hetero-Diels-Alder reactions of 2(1H)-pyrazinones in ionic liquid doped solvents.

Inter- and intramolecular hetero-Diels-Alder reactions in a series of functionalized 2(1H)-pyrazinones were investigated under controlled microwave irradiation. The cycloaddition reactions were efficiently performed in sealed tubes, utilizing either a combination of 1,2-dichloroethane and a thermally stable ionic liquid, or 1,2-dichlorobenzene as reaction medium. In all cases, a significant rate-enhancement using microwave flash heating as compared to thermal heating was observed.

Rapid formation of triarylphosphines by microwave-assisted transition metal-catalyzed C-p cross-coupling reactions.

Rapid, direct transition metal-catalyzed C-P(III) cross-coupling reactions were performed by microwave dielectric heating, employing diphenylphosphine and aryl halides/triflates as substrates. Depending on the specific aryl halide/triflate precursor, the highest yields were obtained utilizing heterogeneous or homogeneous Pd or Ni catalysts in DMF or NMP in the presence of KOAc or DABCO as a base.

Rapid parallel synthesis of polymer-bound enones utilizing microwave-assisted solid-phase chemistry.

A microwave-assisted parallel solid-phase synthesis of a collection of 21 polymer-bound enones has been developed. The two-step protocol involves initial high-speed acetoacetylation of polystyrene Wang resin with a selection of seven common beta-ketoesters. When microwave flash heating at 170 degreesC was employed, complete conversions were achieved within 1-10 min, a significant improvement over the conventional thermal method, which takes several hours for completion. Significant rate enhancements were also observed for the subsequent microwave-heated Knoevenagel condensations with a second set of 13 different aldehydes. Reaction times were reduced to 30-60 min at 125 degreesC in the microwave protocol compared to 1-2 days using conventional thermal conditions. Kinetic comparison studies indicate that the observed rate enhancements can be attributed to the rapid direct heating of the solvent (1,2-dichlorobenzene) by microwaves rather than to any specific microwave effect. All reactions have been carried out in commercially available parallel reactors with on-line temperature measurement, designed specifically for use in multimode microwave cavities.

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.

Preparation of thioamide building blocks via microwave-promoted three-component kindler reactions.

A microwave-enhanced variation of the Kindler thioamide synthesis is introduced. Taking advantage of the sealed vessel capabilities of a dedicated single-mode microwave reacto,r a diverse selection of 13 aldehyde and 12 amine precursors was utilized in the construction of a representative 34-member library of substituted thioamides. The three-component condensations of aldehydes, amines, and elemental sulfur were carried out using 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as solvent employing microwave flash heating at 110-180 degrees C for 2-20 min. A simple workup protocol allows the isolation of synthetically valuable primary, secondary, and tertiary thioamide building blocks in 83% average yield and >90% purity.

Microwave-enhanced and metal-catalyzed functionalizations of the 4-aryl-dihydropyrimidone template.

Progress in organometallic catalysis and recent advancements in the development of carbonylative reaction protocols without direct use of carbon monoxide have been utilized for efficient functionalizations of 4-aryl-dihydropyrimidone structures. The use of modern microwave technology enabled both high reaction rates and convenient handling. Examples of palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings, Heck reactions, amino- and alkoxycarbonylations, and direct N-amidations of 4-(bromophenyl)-dihydropyrimidones were performed. Further, the first N3-arylations of the dihydropyrimidone ring system were successfully completed using the copper-catalyzed Goldberg reaction. Altogether, these protocols provide new tools for rapid generation of novel and diverse dihydropyrimidone derivatives.

The application of "click chemistry" for the decoration of 2(1H)-pyrazinone scaffold: generation of templates.

The "click chemistry" approach has been explored on the 2-(1H)-pyrazinone scaffold for the generation of pharmacologically interesting heterocyclic moieties. Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition has been evaluated as the key step for the construction of the 1,2,3-triazole ring at the C-3 position of 2-(1H)-pyrazinones. Two different pathways have been successfully evaluated: (1) via C-C or C-O linkage of the acetylenic part to the C-3 position of the 2-(1H)-pyrazinone scaffold or (2) via azide introduction in the C-3 position. The subsequent application of "click chemistry" resulted in the formation of hitherto unknown skeletons. Microwave irradiation has successfully been applied in different steps of the sequence.

Combining Biginelli multicomponent and click chemistry: generation of 6-(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-dihydropyrimidone libraries.

Efficient solution-phase protocols for the high-throughput synthesis of 6-(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-dihydropyrimidones are reported. The multistep sequence involves the initial bromination of dihydropyrimidones precursors (DHPMs, Biginelli compounds) at the C6-methyl position, using a recyclable polymer-supported brominating agent under rapid flow-through conditions (residence time of 1 min). The 6-bromomethyldihydropyrimidone intermediates were subsequently subjected to a microwave-assisted azidation step (25 min), providing the key 6-azidomethyldihydropyrimidone precursors. In the final step of the sequence, the azides were treated with terminal acetylenes under Cu(I) catalysis (azide-acetylene ligation, "click chemistry") to provide the target 6-(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-dihydropyrimidones in a regiospecific fashion (1,4-triazoles) in moderate overall yield utilizing controlled microwave irradiation (20 min). In total, a library of 27 compounds was prepared with 4 points of diversity.

Microwave-assisted three-component synthesis of 7-aryl-2-alkylthio-4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]-pyrimidine-6-carboxamides and their selective reduction.

Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) and microwave-assisted organic synthesis (MAOS) have been used as key methods for the synthesis of fused dihydropyrimidine derivatives. The three-component condensation of 3-amino-5-alkylthio-1,2,4-triazoles with aromatic aldehydes and acetoacetamides under microwave irradiation was developed as a rapid and efficient solution-phase method for the high-yielding preparation of 7-aryl-2-alkylthio-4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxamide libraries. In addition, the selective reduction of the formed dihydrotriazolopyrimidines to trans-trans-2-alkylthio-7-aryl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxamides was established. The described synthetic protocols provide rapid access to novel and diversely substituted dihydroazolopyrimidine libraries.
