Dl. Whitehouse et al., A CHEMOSELECTIVE RHODIUM(II) MEDIATED SOLID-PHASE 1,3-DIPOLAR CYCLOADDITION AND ITS APPLICATION TO A THERMALLY SELF-CLEAVING FURAN SCAFFOLD, Tetrahedron letters, 38(41), 1997, pp. 7139-7142
A chemoselective rhodium(II) mediated 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reacti
on on solid-phase for the construction of a template-directed scaffold
is described. In this paper, the reaction of acetylenes with isomunch
nones is presented as a general methodology for the combinatorial form
ation of a furan based library. Additionally, through the development
of a novel thermolytic cleavage step, this furan synthesis yields pure
product from the solid-phase in a temperature dependent manner. (C) 1
