A solid phase organic synthesis method has been developed for the preparation of substituted methylene
malonamic acids and malonic ester mono acids 5. Two substituents are introduced into the core molecule
5 by preparation of unsymmetrical malonic acid derivatives 2, followed by Knoevenagel condensation with
aromatic or aliphatic aldehydes, giving resin-bound 4. Evaluation of the scope of these reactions led to the
preparation of a 96-member library from a set of eight amines/alcohols (seven amines and one alcohol) and
11 aldehydes leading to 88 substituted methylene malonamic/malonate mono acids 5 and eight unsymmetrical
malonamic/malonate mono acids 3. Structural validation and quantitation for every member of the library
was obtained by evaluation of 1H NMR and HPLC, respectively. The 1H NMR data were obtained using
automated delivery of DMSO solutions of every library member from a 96-deep well microtiter plate to a
flow probe-equipped NMR spectrometer. HPLC data were used for determination of the extent of conversion
of malonamic/malonate esters 2 to the products 5 by an external standard method. Summary information
from the 1H NMR and HPLC data is viewed as plate diagrams for analysis of the final library.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
