General description
IIDQ-polystyrene (IIDQ-PS) [1] is a polymer-supported version of the IIDQ coupling reagent [2]. IIDQ has many advantages over conventional carbodiimide- or uronium-based reagents: no preactivation step is required, and acid, amine and coupling reagent can be added in any order; in contrast to uronium-based reagents like HBTU, it cannot form guanidinium by-products; and it is totally stable to base. The treatment of a carboxylic acid with IIDQ-PS in DCM or MeCN rapidly generates in situ the corresponding isobutoxycarbonyl mixed anhydride [3]. Attack by nucleophiles preferentially takes place at the less hindered and more electrophilic carbonyl of the carboxylic acid moiety, releasing only volatile carbon dioxide and isobutanol as by-products. If reaction is carried out in the presence of an amine, amide bond formation occurs concurrently with generation of the anhydride. Alternatively, addition of NaBH4 or polymer-supported borohydride to the anhydride will lead directly to the corresponding alcohol. IIDQ-PS appears to be particularly effective for mediating the acylation for anilines, and has also been found to couple peptide fragments without epimerization. In a comparative study, IIDQ-PS was found to give higher yields and greater purities than HATU, EDC-PS or DCC-PS [4]. Occasionally, with some secondary amines the formation of isobutyl carbamate by-products has been observed, resulting from attack by the amine at the carbonyl group.
