Abstract

The acid lability of electron-rich N-benzylanilines has been exploited in a linker for the traceless solid-phase synthesis of benzimidazoles, 2-aminobenzimidazoles, quinoxalinones and tetrahydroquinoxalines. The target compound precursors were assembled on a solid-phase support derivatized with either a benzylamine or a benzhydrylamine linker. Exposure to an acidic reagent caused cleavage of the C(benzyl)-N(aniline) bond, releasing the product with only a hydrogen atom on the descending nitrogen. The Encore technique for directed sorting on SynPhase Lanterns has been developed and applied to combinatorial synthesis of generic drug discovery libraries.
