Microwave assisted synthesis of Py-Im polyamides.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Microwave synthesis was utilized to rapidly build Py-Im polyamides in high yields and purity using Boc-protection chemistry on Kaiser oxime resin. A representative polyamide targeting the 5'-WGWWCW-3' (W = A or T) subset of the consensus Androgen and Glucocorticoid Response Elements was synthesized in 56% yield after 20 linear steps and HPLC purification. It was confirmed by Mosher amide derivatization of the polyamide that a chiral ?-amino acid does not racemize after several additional coupling steps.
