G. Manickam et Ad. Schluter, New parts for a construction set of bifunctional oligo(het)arylene building blocks for modular chemistry, SYNTHESIS-S, (3), 2000, pp. 442-446
The 100 mg to 5 g scale synthesis of a variety of arylene (6, 11, 13) and h
etarylene building blocks (15, 17, 18) by and for Suzuki/Stille type cross-
coupling reactions is reported. These building blocks carry solubilizing he
xyloxymethyl substituents as well as boronic acid ester and Br/I functional
ities. This considerably widens the already existing construction set for t
he modular chemistry approach to shape persistent and functional compounds
on the nanometer scale.
