Jg. Rodriguez et al., SOLID-PHASE SYNTHESIS OF ANHYDRIDES AND AMIDES - POLYMER-ASSISTED REACTION IN THE SYNTHESIS OF DIPEPTIDES, New journal of chemistry, 22(8), 1998, pp. 865-868
Linear poly-4- and poly-2-vinylpyridines and copolymers of these with
divinylbenzene have been used as an efficient solid phase for the synt
hesis of acid anhydrides and amides, by pyridinium catalyzed acyl tran
sfer to carboxylic acids or amines, respectively, in equimolar amounts
. (S,S)-CBZAla-TrpCO(2)Me dipeptide was obtained in good yield in a mu
lti-phase application.
