Ester linkage (s) is a key chemical connector in organic chemistry, including natural products, peptides, and synthetic polymers. We herein describe a straightforward method for the efficient formation of ester linkage (s) on solid-phase. This method simply involves the use of amide coupling reagents under microwave irradiation. The robustness of this method relies on the use of classical solid-phase coupling reagents, heating by microwave irradiation, and a short time period, which results in high yields and the minimization of racemization.
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.
