Exploring functional and molecular diversity with polymer-bound p-alkoxybenzyl ethers - Scope and applicaitons of preparatively useful organic reactions

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(97)10685-2

Alcohols immobilized as p-alkoxybenzyl ethers on Wang resins have been subjected to a variety of chemical transformations based on existing functionality (enolate chemistry, carbonyl group reactivity, Mitsunobu inversion, ozonolysis, Heck reactions, etc.), in an effort to test the suitability of this novel resin-bound ether linkage. The modified substrate was released from the resin by mild acid treatment.
