Polymer-supported hypervalent iodine reagents in ‘clean’ organic synthesis with potential application in combinatorial chemistry

Abstract

A clean oxidation reaction of a variety of substrates using polymer-supported (diacetoxyiodo)benzene (PSDIB) which proceeds in high to excellent yield with maximum purity is described including isolation and regeneration of the polymer reagent.

9. General procedure for oxidative reactions using PSDIB: Oxidation to quinones2a–e: The resin (PSDIB)(2.0 mmol) was added to a solution of the quinol 1a–e(1.0 mmol) in DCM (5 ml) and the resulting mixture stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. Filtration to remove the resin followed by evaporation of the filtrate afforded the pure quinones (Table 1); Oxidative spirocyclisation reactions: The resin (PSDIB)(2.0 mmol) was added to a solution of the tyrosine derivative (1.0 mmol) in DCM–MeCN (1 : 1, 8 ml) and the resulting mixture heated at 60°C for 2 h. After cooling, the suspension was filtered to remove the resin followed by evaporation of the filtrate afforded the spirocyclic dienones 10a–e(Table 1).
