Abstract:
The Petasis three-component reaction gives rise to diverse substituted α-aryl glycines from readily available amines, boronic acids and glyoxalic acid. Thus, this reaction is highly attractive for DNA-encoded small molecule screening library synthesis. The Petasis reaction is for instance promoted by a potentially DNA damaging copper(I)/bipyridine reagent system in dry organic solvents. We found that solid phase-coupled DNA strands tolerated this reagent system at elevated temperature allowing for synthesis of diverse substituted DNA-tagged α-aryl glycines from DNA-conjugated secondary amines.
