wo 9sr~3~si rc~r~rs9sioissa NOVEL SOLID-PHASE SYNTHESIS TECHNIQUES FOR PREPARING MULTIPLE
ANALOGOUS COMPOUNDS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to chemical synthesis using solid-phase techniques.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Solid-phase synthesis techniques are used in preparing peptides (Merrifield, J. Am. Chem.
Soc. 85:2149-2154 ( 1963)), oligonucleotides (Oligonucleotide Synthesis: A
Practical Approach, Gait, ed. IRL Press, Oxford ( 1964)) and small organic molecules (Leznoff, Acc. Chem. Res., 11, 327 (1978); Hermkins, Tetrahedron, 52, 4527-4554 (1996)). Solid-phase synthesis techniques are powerful methods for the combinatorial synthesis of large libraries (Burin et al., J. Am.
Chem. Soc. 114, 10997-10998 (1992)), which libraries are in themselves powerful tools in pharmaceutical research (U.S. Patent No. 5,506,337; Terrett et al., Tetrahedron, 51, 8135-8173 ( 1995)).
One of the advantages of solid-phase techniques is that reactions can be driven to completion by using reagents in large excess, whereupon the excess reagent is removed simply by filtration. The solid-phase supported product is then released from the solid support by a cleaving reagent, whereupon the solution-phase product is separated from the solid-phase by filtration. Alternatively, the final step reaction in the solid-phase synthetic scheme is coupled with the cleavage reaction resulting in the formation of final product and a concomitant release of the product into the solution-phase (Dewitt and Czarnik, Acc. Chem. Res., 29, 114 (1996)).
Thus, as traditionally applied, solid-phase synthetic methods afford a single solution-phase product from each aliquot of solid-phase supported starting material or intermediate. Techniques are needed that wilt allow for the preparation of multiple compounds from one aliquot of solid-phase supported intermediate.
The disclosures of these and other documents referred to throughout this application are incorporated herein by reference.

(a) reacting a solid-phase supported intermediate with a cleaving/condensing reagent by a means which results in the formation of a solution-phase condensation product and affords remainder solid-phase supported intermediate;
(b) separating the solution-phase condensation product formed by step (a) from the solid-phase;
{c) reacting remainder solid-phase supported intermediate with a cleaving/condensing reagent distinct from the cleaving/condensing reagent applied in step (a) to give a solution-phase condensation product analogous to the solution-phase condensation product formed by step (a);
(d) separating the solution-phase condensation product formed by step (c) from the solid-phase; and (e) optionally repeating process steps (c) and (d) one or more additional times, if remainder solid-phase supported intermediate is present, using a further distinct cleaving/condensing reagent for each repetition to give additional analogous solution-phase condensation products.
A second aspect of this invention relates to a process for synthesizing multiple analogous compounds, which process comprises:

A third aspect of this invention relates to a combinatorial library comprising multiple analogous compounds prepared by the processes of this invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Unless otherwise stated, the following terms used in this specification and claims have the meanings given below.
"Alkyl", as in 4-hydroxyphenylthioalkyl, 4-hydroxyphenylsulfinylalkyl, 4-hydroxyphenylsulfonylalkyl, 4-aminosulfonylbenzoylaminoalkyl, and 3-aminosulfonylpropionylaminoalkyl, means a straight branched, saturated, aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
"Analogous compounds" or "analogous solution-phase condensation products"
means that the compounds or products described are chemically similar to one another in that they are derived from similar starting materials or intermediates, but they are chemically distinct.

WO 98/33751 pC"T/US98101854 "Linking group" means a divalent radical which links an intermediate compound to the solid support. For the purposes of this application linking groups are referred to in the specification and the claims as the monovalent precursor radical is attached to the solid support.
Thus, for example, a linking group of the following formula:
s~ mss (CHz~n wherein SS is the solid support, is referred to as 4-hydroxyphenylthioalkyl, which includes, for example, 4-hydroxyphenylthiomethyl.
"Optionally" means that the subsequently described event or circumstance may or may not occur, and that the description includes instances where the event or circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not. For example, the phrase "optionally repeating process steps (c) and (d)" means that the process steps referred to may or may not occur in order to fall within the scope of the invention.
"Remainder solid-phase supported intermediate" means solid-phase supported intermediate that remains unreacted and attached to the solid-phase support after a portion of the solid-phase supported intermediate has been subjected to a cleaving/condensation reaction and the resulting solution-phase condensation product has been separated from the solid-phase.
"Substoichiometric amount" means a molar amount which is less than one molar equivalent. Thus, when refernng to substoichiometric amounts of cleaving/condensing reagents in describing or claiming the process of this invention, it is intended that the molar amount of reagent present in the reaction medium is a fraction of the molar amount of solid-phase supported intermediate present.
The process of this invention relates to the synthesis of multiple analogous compounds by the sequential treatment of a solid-phase supported intermediate by a means that results in the formation of a solution-phase condensation product and affords an amount of the solid-phase supported intermediate in remainder sufficient to perform subsequent WO 98!33751 PCT/US98/01854 cleavage/condensation reactions with other cleaving/condensing reagents. For example, the process of this invention can be depicted by the following reaction scheme:
Scheme 1 R'~ /ss x 1 Ra1' Rt Ra ~z~ 2(a) R'~ /ss x 1(a) Re1' Rt R' ~z~ 2(b) R'~ /ss x 1(b) R"Y
optional Rt~ ~~R"
Z 2(n) R~~ ASS
X 1(n) wherein SS is a solid support, X is a the linking group between the solid support and the solid-phase supported intermediate, Y is any moiety capable of causing a cleavage/condensation reaction, R', Ra, Rb and R° are each any non-reactive moiety and Z is a connecting moiety formed by the condensation reaction.
The process of this invention comprises reacting a solid-phase supported intermediate (Formula 1 ) with an appropriate cleaving/condensing reagent (R'Y) by any means whereby the solid-phase supported intermediate is cleaved from the solid support and concomitantly condensed with the cleaving/condensing agent to form a first solution-phase condensation product (Formula 2(a)) and some fraction of the solid-phase supported intermediate remains unreacted, separating the first solution-phase condensatian product from the solid-phase, reacting the remainder solid-phase supported intermediate (Formula 1 (a)) with a second distinct cleaving/condensing reagent (RbY) to give a second solution-phase condensation product (Formula 2(b)); and then separating the second solution-phase condensation product from the solid-phase. Remainder solid-phase supported intermediate present after separation of the second solution-phase condensation product (Formula 1 (b)) or after any subsequent condensation/cleavage reaction and separation steps (Formula 1 (n)) is optionally further reacted with an appropriate cleaving/condensing reagent (R"Y) to give additional analogous solution-phase condensation products (Formula 2(n)).
Remainder solid-phase supported intermediate can be afforded by any means which results in an incomplete reaction relative to the amount of solid-phase supported intermediate used. For example, an incomplete reaction can be effected by varying the reaction conditions (e.g., reaction temperatures or pressures, solvents, etc.) to slow the rate of reaction or by limiting the reaction times. A convenient means for providing that an incomplete reaction occurs is by using a substoichiometric amount of the cleaving/condensing reagent relative to the amount of solid-phase supported intermediate used.
Suitable solid supports include polymers (e.g., polystyrene, polyethylene glycol) grafted polystyrene, polyethylene glycol) grafted polyacrylamide, etc.), cellulose, derivatized silica gel supports, derivatized controlled-pore glass, and the Like. Suitable linking groups can comprise any chemical functionality or bond that is capable of reacting with the cleaving/condensing reagent. For example, suitable linking groups for carboxylic acid intermediates include 4-hydroxyphenylthioalkyl, 4-hydroxyphenylsulfinylalkyl, 4-hydroxyphenylsulfonylalkyl, 4-hydroxy-2-nitrophenyl, 4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl, and the like, wherein an ester linkage is formed between the intermediate and linking group, or 4-aminosulfonylbenzoylaminoalkyl, 3-aminosulfonylpropionylaminoalkyl, and the like, wherein an amide linkage is formed. Other suitable linkers for various intermediate compounds are known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
Suitable cleaving/condensing reagents include nucleophilic amines, organometallic reagents (e.g., Grignard reagents, organolithium reagents, etc.), alcohols, anilines, phenols, thiols, activated carbon nucleophiles (e.g., beta keto esters, beta diesters, beta cyanoesters, nitroalkanes, etc.), and the like.
While the broadest definition of this invention is set forth in the Summary of the Invention, certain aspects of the invention are preferred. For example, generally preferred is a _'j_ process in which remainder solid-phase supported intermediate is afforded by reacting the solid-phase supported intermediate with a substoichiometric amount of the cleaving/condensing reagent. More preferred is a process in which the solid support is a polymer and the solid-phase supported intermediate is a carboxylic acid derivative which together with the linking group to which it is attached forms an ester or amide linkage. More preferred is a process in which the linking group is selected from 4-hydroxyphenylthioalkyl, 4-hydroxyphenylsulfinylalkyl, 4-hydroxyphenylsulfonylalkyl, 4-hydroxy-2-nitrophenyl, 4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl, 4-aminosulfonylbenzoylaminoalkyl and 3-aminosulfonylpropionylalkyl.
Particularly preferred is a process in which the cleaving/condensing reagent is selected from amines and organometallic reagents or in which the linking group is 4-aminosulfonylbenzoylaminoalkyl or 3-aminosulfonylpropionylaminoalkyl and the cleaving/condensing reagent is selected from alcohols, anilines, thiols and carbon nucleophiles. More particularly preferred is a process in which the solid support is selected from polystyrene and polyethylene glycol) grafted polystyrene. Most preferred is a process in which the solid support is polystyrene, the linking group is 4-hydroxyphenylthiomethyl and the cleaving/condensing reagent is an amine.
By further example, a process of this invention in which the solid-phase supported intermediate forms an ester linkage with the linking group and Y is amino is depicted by the _g_ following reaction scheme:

The process of this invention in which the solid-phase supported intermediate forms an ester linkage with the linking group and the cleaving/condensing reagent is an amine can be carried out under standard acylation reaction conditions and using typical separation techniques.
For example, the cleavage/condensation reaction can be carried out in the presence of a suitable base (e.g., triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, N methylmorpholine, etc., preferably triethylamine) in a suitable solvent (e.g., 2,6-lutidine, pyridine, toluene, tetrahydrofuran, etc., preferably 2,6-lutidine or pyridine) at 0 to 70°C, preferably at approximately ambient temperature, and requires 1 to 100 hours.
The solution-phase condensation product can separated from the solid-phase by filtering and washing WO 98/33751 PCT/US98l01854 _9_ the solid support with suitable solvents (e.g., dichloromethane, methanol, test-butyl methyl ether, toluene, tetrahydrofuran, diethylether, etc.). Certain solid supports (e.g., polystyrene) swell in the presence of organic solvents and in such cases separation can be facilitated by washing the solid support alternately with a solvent that produces a large amount of swelling (e.g., dichloromethane, toluene or tetrahydrofuran) and a solvent that produces a small amount of swelling (e.g., tert-butyl methyl ether, diethyl ether or methanol). Further details of the procedures set forth above are provided in Examples 3 and 4, infra.
The solid-phase supported intermediates used in the process of this invention can be prepared by methods known in the art. For example, solid-phase supported intermediates which form an ester linkage with the linking group, wherein the linking group is 4-hydroxyphenylthioalkyl can be prepared by reacting an appropriate carboxylic acid or activated ester (e.g., carboxylic acid halide), or protected derivative thereof, with an appropriate 4-hydroxyphenylthioalkylpolystyrene. The reaction can be effected in the presence of a suitable coupling agent (e.g., diisopropylcarbodiimide, benzotriazole-1-yloxytrispyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyBOP°), bromotrispyrrolidinophosphonim hexafluorophosphate, O-benzotriazole-N,N,N;N'-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate, N,N,N;N'-tetramethylfluoroformamidinium hexafluorophosphate, etc.) a suitable base (e.g., triethylamine, N methylmorpholine, diisopropylethylamine, etc.) and a suitable catalyst (e.g., 4-dimethylaminopyridine, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole, etc.) at 20 to 60°C, preferably at approximately ambient temperature, and requires 10 to 100 minutes.
Further details of the procedures set forth above are provided in Examples 1 and 2, infra.
Proceeding in a fashion similar to that described above, the process of this invention can be performed and solid-phase supported intermediates can be prepared using the other solid supports and linking groups described herein or known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

An alternative process of this invention can be depicted by the following reaction scheme:
