FLUOROUS SILYL PROTECTING GROUP FOR 5'-HYDROXYL PROTECTION OF OLIGONUCLEOSIDES

A new approach for the synthesis of O-glycopeptides through a combination of solid-phase glycosylation and fluorous tagging chemistry (SHGPFT)

A new and efficient hybrid approach has been developed for the synthesis and purification of O-linked glycopeptides with high purity.

Fluorous methods for the synthesis of peptides and oligonucleotides

The non-covalent affinity of a perfluoro chain towards similar has been exploited by many to separate fluorous tagged compounds from non-fluorous compounds by F-SPE or F-LLE. This purification strategy found its application across diverse fields including peptide and oligonucleotide synthesis where even slight inefficient couplings result in deletion sequences that are often difficult to remove from the target sequence. Two commonly employed strategies to address this problem involve end-tagging the target sequence or capping the deletion sequences with fluorous tags. Solution phase syntheses using soluble fluorous supports are easier and quicker. These approaches are reviewed here in detail.

A fluorous phosphate protecting group with applications to carbohydrate synthesis

The first fluorous protecting group for phosphate is reported. This group can be used as a facile tag for purification and be removed under mild reducing conditions using zinc and ammonium formate. Synthesis of a disaccharide from Leishmania using this fluorous protecting group demonstrated the group's stability to the acidic conditions necessary for glycosylation as well as its orthogonality to several other common protecting groups.

Comparison of the Relative Reactivities of the Triisopropylsilyl Group With Two Fluorous Analogs

The relative stabilities of two fluorous analogs, diisopropyl(3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-heptadecafluorodecyl)silyl and diisopropyl-(4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,11,11,11-heptadeca-fluoroundecyl)silyl [C(8)F(17)(CH(2))(n)Si(i-Pr)(2), where n = 2 or 3], of the standard triisopropylsilyl (TIPS) group are compared in the setting of alcohol protection. The fluorous silyl groups can be installed under standard conditions in comparable yields to the TIPS group, but the derived fluorous silyl ethers are more labile than TIPS ethers towards cleavage by both acids and fluoride.

Fluorous mixture synthesis of two libraries with hydantoin-, and benzodiazepinedione-fused heterocyclic scaffolds

Diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) and fluorous mixture synthesis (FMS) are two aspects of combinatorial chemistry. DOS generates library scaffolds with skeletal, substitution, and stereochemistry variations, whereas FMS is a highly efficient tool for library production. The combination of these two aspects in solution-phase synthesis of two novel heterocyclic compound libraries is presented in this paper. Mixtures of different fluorous amino acids undergo [3 + 2] cycloadditions followed by postcondensation reactions. The mixtures are then demixed by fluorous HPLC. Fluorous tags are removed by cyclization to afford hydantoin- and benzodiazepinedione-fused heterocyclic compounds as individual, pure, and structurally defined molecules. The application of MS-directed HPLC purification and parallel four-channel LC/MS analysis further increases the efficiency of FMS.
