Alternative Solvents for Elevated-Temperature Solid-Phase Parallel Synthesis. Application to Thionation of Amides

Abstract

A new class of higher-boiling solvents was investigated for elevated-temperature solid-phase parallel synthesis. Extremely low vapor pressures at high temperature and a broader range of solvent effect tuning make this new class of solvents an ideal choice for high-temperature parallel solid-phase synthesis. Benzyl benzoate is identified as a superior high-boiling solvent for parallel solid-phase Lawesson's thionation reactions.
