Iron-assisted S(N)Ar reactions were performed for the first time on solid phase, and a library of 36 unsymmetrically substituted phenylpiperazines and phenyl-1,4-diazepanes was synthesized with this novel strategy. The scope of iron-assisted S(N)Ar reactions on solid phase was investigated, and reactions of representative nucleophiles from groups VI (O, S, and Se) and V (N and P) of the periodic table were examined. Decomplexation of resin-bound iron complexes was achieved with 1,10-phenanthroline under irradiation, thereby overcoming the notorious disadvantages of decomplexation observed in solution-phase chemistry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
