Addition of benzylic and allylic organozinc and Grignard reagents to resin-bound imines to provide alpha-branched secondary amines bearing a wide variety of functional groups. Utility in the synthesis of beta-3 adrenergic receptor agonists

摘要

Benzylic and allylic organozinc and Grignard reagents have been added to resin-bound imines to provide alpha-branched secondary amines. Many functional groups, including electrophilic groups, were compatible with this methodology. Three modules-a resin-bound primary amine, an aromatic aldehyde, and the organometallic-were independently varied to produce a combinatorial library of alpha-branched secondary amines designed as beta-3 adrenergic receptor agonists.
