A new supported reagent for the parallel synthesis of primary and secondary O-alkyl hydroxylamines through a base-catalyzed Mitsunobu reaction

摘要

The growing field of applications of O-alkyl hydroxylamines in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology has motivated the search for a parallel synthesis. A solid-phase approach based on the alkylation by alcohols of a new supported N-hydroxyphthalimide reagent using a Mitsunobu reaction followed by methylaminolysis has been optimized. This study points out the importance of the linker and a specific base effect for the Mitsunobu reaction. A large variety of alcohols can be used to give with moderate to high yields diverse O-alkyl hydroxylamines in high purity.
