Summary on Grant Application Form |
We have demonstrated that solid-phase [2+2] cycloadditions of keteniminium salts with resin-bound olefins proceed efficiently, using an ester linker. Further work is required to expand the scope of the reaction by the development of alternative linker strategies. The use of a range of new silicon, and ortho-nitrobenzyl linkers will be studied, and their stability to the [2+2] reaction conditions will be assessed. These linkers are considered particularly suitable due to mild cleavage conditions and broad reagent compatibility.We will establish the scope of the solid-phase cycloaddition reaction with respect to olefin and keteniminium substitution, investigating a range of alkyl, heteroatomic, aromatic and heterocyclic substituents.Elaboration of the resin-bound cyclobutanone and cyclobutanone imine adducts will then be studied. Known solution-phase reactions such as carbonyl addition and ring expansion will be applied to the four-membered ring compounds to provide a diverse set of structural templates. Combination of the newly developed linkers, knowledge regarding the scope of the cycloaddition and further transformations of the resin-bound cycloadducts will set the stage for the solid-phase synthesis of novel compounds related to a variety of pharmacologically active targets.
