New multi-component reactions

New multi-component reactions

The purpose of this thesis was to develop new high-throughput methodologies for the discovery and optimisation of multi-component reactions (MCRs) involving isocyanides. Initially, a novel method to synthesise isocyanides from the corresponding amines was developed using first a resin-supported benzotriazole and secondly a resin-supported sulfonyl chloride. This proved to be a highly efficient and clean technique to access this important class of compounds.

A tagging concept was then intensively studied focusing on the Ugi reaction, and validated to explore new directions. This involved, in particular, the use of a resin capture process, allowing only the compounds formed on the solid-support to be released after cleavage, and their tags analysed to identify the starting materials that were incorporated into the isolated product.

A methodology involving mass spectrometry was also examined to obtain rapid one-pot monomers reactivity profiles. This proved particularly useful in determination of the most efficient substrates and to allow exploration of the scope of the multi-component reactions.

Finally, a tagging concept developed around Ugi reactions was extended to a screening for new reactions and the results obtained following this strategy were reported, in particular a new reaction was found between an amine, an isocyanide and a carboxylic acid.

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis was to develop new high-throughput methodologies for the discovery and optimisation of multi-component reactions (MCRs) involving isocyanides. Initially, a novel method to synthesise isocyanides from the corresponding amines was developed using first a resin-supported benzotriazole and secondly a resin-supported sulfonyl chloride. This proved to be a highly efficient and clean technique to access this important class of compounds.

A tagging concept was then intensively studied focusing on the Ugi reaction, and validated to explore new directions. This involved, in particular, the use of a resin capture process, allowing only the compounds formed on the solid-support to be released after cleavage, and their tags analysed to identify the starting materials that were incorporated into the isolated product.

A methodology involving mass spectrometry was also examined to obtain rapid one-pot monomers reactivity profiles. This proved particularly useful in determination of the most efficient substrates and to allow exploration of the scope of the multi-component reactions.

Finally, a tagging concept developed around Ugi reactions was extended to a screening for new reactions and the results obtained following this strategy were reported, in particular a new reaction was found between an amine, an isocyanide and a carboxylic acid.
