Abstract

A novel and efficient cleavage reagent, trimethyl aluminum, for traceless sulfinate-functionalized resin has been developed. The synthesis of sulfonamide and urea derivatives via a traceless solid-phase sulfone linker strategy through six synthetic steps comprising utilization of trimethyl aluminum as a novel cleavage reagent was also established. An insight of the plausible mechanism of the cleavage reaction was discussed.
