Efforts towards the implementations of high-load ROMP-derived oligomers with tunable properties for production of medium-sized libraries are presented. The scaffolds generated are: (1) cyclic sulfamide heterocycles and (2) potential methionine aminopeptidase inhibitors. A general coupling protocol using ROMP-derived DCC with different benzylic, aromatic, secondary amines, sulfonamides, heterocyclic amines and alcohols to provide the corresponding products has been accomplished. Currently we are investigating a catch-release strategy to generate a library of substituted aryl-furoic acid and aryl-thiophene carboxylic acids.
