Solid-phase synthesis of piperazinones via disrupted Ugi condensation

Org Lett. 2014 Sep 5;16(17):4674-7. doi: 10.1021/ol5023118. Epub 2014 Aug 25.

Abstract

The first application of aziridine aldehyde dimers in solid-phase synthesis is reported. The solid-supported disrupted Ugi condensation between an aziridine aldehyde dimer, isonitrile, and backbone-anchored amino acids delivered N-acyl aziridine intermediates, which were reacted with nucleophiles to yield the corresponding piperazinones. Subsequent cleavage from the resin provided a diverse set of 2,3,6-trisubstituted piperazinones starting from various amino acids, aziridine aldehydes, and nucleophiles.
