The use of thioesters in solid phase organic synthesis

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(97)01778-4

Mercaptan-resin linkers are used for the synthesis of C-terminal thioesters which are then cleaved with alcohols, amines and organometallic reagents to generate esters, amides, ketones, aldehydes and alcohols as the final products of solid phase synthesis
