60. 3-Bn, 69% side reaction; R = 4-I-Bn, 59%; R = 4-Cl-Bn, 32%; R = Bn, 24%; R = 4-tBu-Bn, 13%; R = 3-I-Bn, 46%; R = 2-I-Bn, 31%.) Replacement of the ω-aminocaproic acid spacer with glycine or removal of the spacer altogether actually decreases the amount of 10 formed. (For 12, R = 4-I-Bn: Aca spacer, 59% side reaction; Gly spacer, 36%; no spacer 29%.) Interestingly, substitution at the benzylic carbon eliminates the side reaction altogether (for 12, R = 4-I-α-Me-Bn, 0% side reaction). Moreover, solution-phase aminolysis of the tetracycle below results in no side reaction. Control experiments verified that the side reaction is not caused by photocleavage. (illustration presented)
61. Aminolysis in the presence of sodium cyanide in MeOH, sodium hydride in DMA, sodium methoxide in benzene, ferric chloride in MeOH, lithium chloride in MeOH, and lithium hydroxide in MeOH all appeared to result in degradation of the linker. Aminolysis in the presence of the Otera organotin catalyst in toluene did not reduce the amount of epoxycyclohexenol recovered.
