Abstract:
The first application of aziridine aldehyde dimers in solid-phase synthesis is reported. The solid-supported disrupted Ugi condensation between an aziridine aldehyde dimer, isonitrile, and backbone-anchored amino acids delivered N-acyl aziridine intermediates, which were reacted with nucleophiles to yield the corresponding piperazinones. Subsequent cleavage from the resin provided a diverse set of 2,3,6-trisubstituted piperazinones starting from various amino acids, aziridine aldehydes, and nucleophiles.

Strong bases like NaOH or KOH deprotonate the phthalimide to form the corresponding anion, which acts as a nucleophile. Further, the anion attacks an...
Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
