Aryl acidolytic cleavage

Heterocycles containing an NH group, such as pyrroles, indoles, imidazoles, triazoles, etc., can be linked to insoluble supports as N-alkyl, N-aryl, or N-acyl derivatives (Table 3.29). The optimal choice depends mainly on the NH acidity of the heterocycle in question. Increasing acidity will facilitate the acidolytic cleavage of N-benzyl groups and the nucleophilic cleavage of /V-acyl groups from these heterocycles.
