The formation of diarylamines by reacting anilines with aromatic electrophiles is, usually, a reaction demanding long reaction times, high temperatures and strong bases, in order to obtain acceptable yield, due to the low nucleophilicity of anilines.1 The Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling reaction is a very useable and elegant solution to this problem.2,3,4 Anticipating the classical metal-free SNAr-amination reaction, without using Pd-catalysts and strong bases, with only higher temperature and pressure as tool as depicted in the Scheme below,1 gives no product at all at 180 ºC and very low conversion (9 %) at 220 ºC for 15 minutes when heating by microwaves.5 Remainder was unreacted starting material.

Vial preparation: 1) Remember to add stir bar for efficient mixing. Catalysts, salts, or visible precipitate should be washed clear of head space and into solution. Particles adhering to glass head space could cause excessive heating increasing possibility of failure of vial. Stay within specified vial volume range (see diagram for proper filling).

In order to obtain a fast synthesis of an N-unprotected tripeptide, microwave (mw) assisted deprotection, coupling and partial deprotection were applied starting with a purified protected dipeptide [Fig. 1]. The three consecutive mw assisted steps were performed without any intermediate purifications and were accomplished within some 30 minutes. The resulting crude mixture containing the Boc deprotected tripeptide ester was shown to be quite complex [Fig. 2]. The crude product was subjected to automated reversed phase flash chromatography, followed by automated fraction pooling and “thin film evaporation”. The total time for the entire procedure was 1 h 20 min. The purity of the product was > 99%.

For high efficiencyin parallel synthesisand method developement short reaction timesare essential. We have examinedthe possibilityof maintaining reported selectivities[1]in rapid, high temperaturepalladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylations. Reactions were promotedby useof singlemode microwave heating(vide infra),[2]which oppositeto conventional oilbath heating(wallheat transfer) rapidlyand almost homogeneouslyheat largeparts of the sample(internalheat transfer).

This white paper has discussed design criteria for an effective high-performance microwave for chemical synthesis. Criteria have been outlined for the safe and effective operation or any system that superheats chemical reactions, and the reasons for these requirements have been discussed. Using these considerations Biotage have developed their Initiator+ system.
