This paper describes the synthesis of a 300 member library of 3,5-substituted enones. The synthesis starts with 6 different bromoenones that are accessed from the corresponding 1,3 diones. These bromides are then diversified by Suzuki coupling with a variety of aromatic and vinyl boronic acids. Additionally a small series of triazoles was synthesized by a Sonogashira coupling reaction dipolar cycloaddition sequence. The library was analyzed by principal component analysis to examine its diversity.

ABSTRACT: This paper describes the synthesis of a 300

member library of 3,5-substituted enones. The synthesis starts

with 6 diﬀerent bromoenones that are accessed from the

corresponding 1,3 diones. These bromides are then diversiﬁed

by Suzuki coupling with a variety of aromatic and vinyl boronic

acids. Additionally a small series of triazoles was synthesized by

a Sonogashira coupling reaction dipolar cycloaddition se-

quence. The library was analyzed by principal component analysis to examine its diversity.

KEYWORDS: enone, Suzuki, library

he ever-increasing demand for novel medicinally active

compounds has resulted in a continuous search for simple

and eﬃcient methods for the generation of libraries to be

examined in biological systems. With that in mind, and as a

continuation of an eﬀort to develop small molecule inhibitors

of anthrax edema factor,¹a library of cyclohexenones has

been developed. In an earlier paper it was reported that

mono substituted cyclohexenones possess activity against the

adenylyl cyclase inhibitor, anthrax edema factor.¹In an

attempt to improve the activity, a new series of cyclohexe-

nones (1) has been developed possessing substituents at the 3

and 5 positions (Figure 1).

Figure 1

Scheme 1^a

For generation of ensembles of the desired molecules, the

Suzuki reaction was an ideal choice in generating libraries with the

basic structure 1.^2,3Diversity at position R¹was obtained by reaction

of bromoenones (Scheme 1) with commercially available boronic

acids (diversity reagent 4).

Six diﬀerent bromoenones (Figure 2, diversity reagent 3) were

used. These consisted of ﬁve with aromatic substituents at position 5

and one with dimethyl substitution at that location. The necessary

bromoenones were prepared in good to excellent yield from 1,3-

diones in a single step through bromination with triphenylpho-

sphine and bromine (Scheme 1).⁴These types of bromides are

excellent substrates for the Suzuki coupling to a variety of boronic

acids in generally good to excellent yields.^1,2

well as acids, esters, amides, aldehydes, nitriles, triﬂuoromethyl

groups, and alkyl groups. Polycyclic aromatic rings such as

naphthalene, phenanthrene, indole, thiophene, benzofuran, and

quinoline were also included. While all possible combinations of

elements 3 and 4 are not represented, three hundred unique

The boronic acids are predominantly aryl with only four vinyl

boronic acids being used in the library (Figure 3). However, the

variety of aromatic boronic acids is extensive; oxygen, nitrogen,

and sulfur heterocycles were used. Substitutents on the benzene

rings were varied from ethers, bromides, chlorides, iodides as

Table 2. Alkynes and Triazoles

principal components illustrates that within each set of com-

pounds there are members of the library that diﬀer considerably

from the aggregate. The labeled circles (Figure 4) represent

examples that fall the farthest from the center of the plot. The

LogP for the library ranged between 1.16 to 6.58 with a mean

value of 4.20. The library’s molecular weigh averaged 335 ranging

from 164 to 462 while the polar surface area ranged from 17 to

103 with a mean value of 35.3. Histograms of this data are

presented in the Supporting Information.

In an extension of this chemistry, a smaller series of triazoles

was synthesized by a Sonogashira coupling to provide an alkyne

that was then reacted with sodium azide. The coupling reaction

(Scheme 2) was catalyzed by PdCl₂(PPh₃)₂and CuI and con-

ducted under microwave conditions (250W at 110 °C for 10 min) in

DMF.⁷In all cases the samples were puriﬁed by column chroma-

tography to remove remaining palladium catalyst and copper iodide.

The corresponding alkynes were reacted with sodium azide in DMF

and heated at 100 °C for 1 h.^8,9The reaction was concentrated and

puriﬁed by column chromatography to give 1,2,3-triazoles analogues

(Table 2). In this case the library size was limited by the use of only

two bromoenones and the availability of diﬀerent alkynes for the

ﬁrst coupling step with 14 alkynes synthesized and corresponding

14 triazoles obtained.

A 300-member library was synthesized by combining six

diﬀerent bromoenones with boronic acids via the Suzuki cou-

pling. The library consisted of enones where the diversity

at position 3 was installed by Suzuki reaction and the diversity

at position 5 originated from the six diﬀerent bromoenones

used as starting material. Principal component analysis (PCA)

indicates that while the molecules are clustered, speciﬁc members

are signiﬁcantly diﬀerent from the group. Additionally fourteen

triazoles were synthesized through a Sonogashira coupling

followed by dipolar cycloaddition of azide. All these compounds

have been submitted to the NIH Molecular Library Small

Molecule Repository (MLSMR) to be distributed to the NIH

screening centers.
