Method for the solid-phase parallel synthesis of a 6-alkylamino-2-(functionalized-aminomethyl)-2H-1-benzopyran Library.

A 2000-member library of benzopyran analogues was prepared by using a solid-phase synthesis protocol. Polymer-bound 6-alkylaminobenzopyrans 7 were synthesized as part of a first generation diversification step by employing reactions of a variety of alkyl halides with the amine 6. Transformations of the resin-bound intermediates 8 formed in this manner by reactions with acid halides, sulfonyl chlorides, and isocyanates leads to introduction of the second level of diversification found in the series of 6-alkylamino-2-(functionalized-aminomethyl)-2-methyl-2H-1-benzopyran analogues 11 and 12.

Construction of a 2,6-difunctionalized 2-methyl-2H-1-benzopyran library by using a solid-phase synthesis protocol.

[reaction: see text] A library containing 1200 analogues of 2,6-difunctionalized 2-methyl-2H-1-benzopyran was constructed by using a solid-phase synthesis protocol. Polymer-bound 6-amido-, 6-sulfonamido-, and 6-uredo-functionalized 2-hydroxymethyl-2-methylbenzopyrans 10 were prepared as part of a first-generation diversification step by employing reactions of respective acid halides, sulfonyl chlorides, and isocyanates with the amine precursor 7. Transformations of the resin-bound intermediates 10 by reactions with alkyl and acid halides were then used to produce a diverse series of 2,6-difunctionalized 2-methyl-2H-1-benzopyran analogues 12 and 14.
