Solid-Phase Synthesis of a Tyrphostin Ether Library

Abstract

The solid-phase synthesis of a 4500-member (30 x 15 x 10) tyrphostin library is demonstrated utilizing the Irori-directed sorting system. Fmoc-protected PL-Rink resin was used as the solid support. After Fmoc-deprotection, aryl aldehydes were attached to the resin through reductive amination. Acylation of the resulting secondary amines with cyanoacetic acid was followed by a Knoevenagel condensation with phenolic aldehydes. Mitsunobu coupling of primary alcohols to the resin-bound phenols yielded the final library of compounds 1.
