One-Chamber Solution-Phase Synthesis

One research group has exploited the concept of polymer site-isolation in a multistep/one-chamber solution-phase synthesis in which all the reagents, catalysts, and downstream reactants required for a multistep synthesis were combined in one reaction chamber. For instance, a one-chamber/three-step synthesis of substituted acetophenones has been reported (Scheme 10).84 An a-phenethyl alcohol was introduced into a reaction chamber containing the polymer-supported reagents and reactants necessary to accomplish oxidation by polymer-supported pyridinium dichromate 60 bromination by the A-26 perbromide resin 61 and nucleophilic displacement by the A-26 phenoxide resin 62. Filtration afforded the...
