Significance

A novel method for the parallel ­solid-phase synthesis of iodinated analogues of the CB1 receptor inverse agonist rimonabant was described. HypoGel-bound 1,5-diarylpyrazole tert-butyl ester 6 was prepared by employing ­HypoGel-bound gelmanium bromide 4 via transmetalation. Parallel amidation of 6 with hydrazines and amines gave HypoGel-bound 1,5-arylpyrazolyl hydrazides/amides 7a-e. Cleavage of the Ge linker with concomitant ipso-iodination afforded iodinated rimonabant analogues 1a-e (5 examples, 42-63% yield, 1-6 h).
