Xy. Zhao et al., SOLUBLE POLYMER SYNTHESIS - AN IMPROVED TRACELESS LINKER METHODOLOGY FOR ALIPHATIC C-H BOND FORMATION, Tetrahedron letters, 38(6), 1997, pp. 977-980
A traceless linker was developed on a soluble polymer support. The met
hodology allows for the facile attachment of molecules possessing an a
lkyl halide appendage. The coupled molecule can be further functionali
zed before subsequent cleavage via a two-step oxidation-reduction sequ
ence. This sequence allows for the synthesis of molecules containing n
o trace of the linker and the formation of a new C-H bond. (C) 1997, E
