racemization. Under the influence of micelles of PS-750-M,
where each micelle has multiple numbers of DMF or DMAc
equivalents, the anticipated reaction rate is faster for the
desired pathways, not allowing the formation of undesired rac-
Ia or cyclization of IIa to prevent epimerization. HPLC
analysis was performed for the products 23 and 27 to test the
correlation of epimerization and fast reaction rate (also see the
SI). No epimerization was evidenced in our analysis (see
Scheme 4b).
In summary, while harnessing the higher concentration of
DMF or DMAc equivalents in the micelles of PS-750-M, we
have developed a totally organic solvent- and HOBt-free
methodology for fast and clean amide couplings. The method
is scalable and reproducible on different reaction scales. It also
significantly meets the standards established by ACS GCIPR.
