Fek. Kroll et al., RESIN-IMMOBILIZED BENZYL AND ARYL VINYL SULFONES - NEW VERSATILE TRACELESS LINKERS FOR SOLID-PHASE ORGANIC-SYNTHESIS, Tetrahedron letters, 38(49), 1997, pp. 8573-8576
New polystyrene-based resins containing benzyl and aryl vinyl sulfone
groups are described. The vinyl sulfone group reacts efficiently with
2 degrees amines, via conjugate addition, and the resin-bound 3 degree
s amine products can be quaternised through alkylation. Subsequent dea
mination to give 3 degrees amines and the regenerated vinyl sulfone oc
curs in moderate to good yield. Both systems can be recycled and show
moderate stability to acids and high stability to nucleophiles includi
ng Grignard reagents. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
