4.1.1. Preparation of resin-bound CF3-containing
building block -3)
Resin 2 was prepared from Wang resin according to
Hanessian's method [20]. For high loaded Wang resin
*1.70 mmol/g), the reaction should be repeated. Theoretical
loading for resin 2 was 1.31 mmol/g. The CF3-containing
acid was prepared according to the literature [19].
To a suspension of resin 2 *3.0 g, 3.93 mmol) in CH2Cl2
*30 ml), acid 1 *3.54 g, 11.79 mmol) was added. The result-
ing mixture was shaken for 30 h at 258C. The resin was
®ltered, washed successively with CH2Cl2, DMSO, THF and
CH2Cl2 *three times for each solvent) and dried in vacuum.
To a suspension of this resin intermediate in CH2Cl2 *30 ml),
Et3N *1.64 ml, 11.79 mmol) was added. The mixture was
shaken for 8 h at 258C. The resin was ®ltered, washed
successively with CH2Cl2, DMSO, THF and CH2Cl2 *three
times for each solvent) and dried in vacuum to give to give
resin-bound CF3-containing building block *3) *3.19 g).
Theoretical loading for resin 3 was 1.23 mmol/g.

was stirred under argon for 24 h at 808C. After cooling to
room temperature, the resin was ®ltered, washed succes-
sively with DMF, DMF/H2O *1:1), THF, MeOH and CH2Cl2

give the crude ester mixture. The ratio was determined by
19F NMR analysis. Chromatography of the crude ester
mixture gave the major products, 3-aryl-5-tri¯uoromethyl-
4-isoxazolecarboxylates *8).
