Aryl iodides anchored to Merrifield resin via the linkages between a carbox
yl, hydroxyl, or hydroxymethyl group and the benzylic chloride moiety in th
e resin reacted efficiently with 1,2-allenic carboxylic acids under the cat
alysis of Pd(0) to afford polymer-supported butenolides. Polysubstituted bu
tenolides can be easily cleaved from the resins by Lewis acid-catalyzed pro
cesses in good yields and purities.
