Polymer-Supported Tetrafluorophenol: A New Activated Resin for Chemical Library Synthesis

Abstract

A new tetrafluorophenol activated resin that facilitates the use of 19F NMR to quantitate loading is presented. This new resin provides a useful tool for acylation, and a novel activated polymeric sulfonate ester to generate sulfonamides. This activated resin reacts with a wide scope of N-nucleophiles including primary and secondary amines, and anilines. This new activated resin methodology provides a powerful tool for pure single-compound library synthesis.
