Yx. Han et al., A divergent protocol for solid-phase synthesis of highly substituted Bi-aryl furan derivatives, TETRAHEDR L, 41(29), 2000, pp. 5447-5451
A versatile protocol for the solid-phase synthesis of highly substituted fu
ran derivatives is discussed. This approach employs zincate 1 as the scaffo
ld followed by sequential palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions as t
he C-C bond-formation step. This methodology allows convenient modification
of the furan core in three dimensions, giving rise to structurally diverse
derivatives with overall good chemical purity and yield. (C) 2000 Publishe
