A fluorous-tagged "safety catch" linker for preparing heterocycles by ring-closing metathesis

Org Lett. 2009 Feb 19;11(4):915-8. doi: 10.1021/ol802848j.

Abstract

A fluorous-tagged "safety catch" linker is described for the synthesis of heterocycles with use of ring-closing metathesis. The linker facilitates the purification of metathesis substrates, the removal of the catalyst, the functionalization of the products, and the release of only metathesis products. The synthesis of a range of heterocycles is described.
