Reaction Steps

To a mixture of above resin-bound 3-bromo-4-fluoro-benzylamine (200 mg, 1.15 mmol/g (theoretical loading), 0.23 mmol) in DCE/DMF (1:1, 8 mL) was added 3-formylbenzoic acid (350 mg, 2.3 mmol) and DIC (0.36 mL, 2.3 mmol). The mixture was shaken at rt for overnight and was then washed with DMF (20 mL×2), DCM (20 mL×2), MeOH (20 mL×2) and DCM (20 mL×2). The resulting resin was dried in vacuum oven at 20° C. for overnight to yield DMHB resin-bound N-[(3-bromo-4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-3-formylbenzamide (0.23 mmol). An analytical amount of the resin was cleaved with 50% of TFA in DCE for 10 min. The resulting solution was concentrated in vacuo and dissolved in 0.5 mL of CH3CN. MS (ESI): 336 [M+H]+.
