Solid-supported [2+2+2] cyclotrimerization offers a solution to low selectivity in aromatic ring synthesis. This method enables rapid combinatorial access to diverse carbo- and heterocyclic small-molecule libraries with high yields and purity.

Area of Science:

  • Organic Chemistry
  • Synthetic Chemistry
  • Medicinal Chemistry

Background:

  • Transition-metal-catalyzed [2+2+2] cyclotrimerization is a convergent route to substituted aromatic rings.
  • Traditional methods suffer from low chemo- and regioselectivities, limiting combinatorial synthesis applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop solid-supported [2+2+2]-cycloaddition reactions to overcome selectivity issues.
  • To enable rapid combinatorial access to diverse carbo- and heterocyclic small-molecule arrays.

Main Methods:

  • Investigated various immobilization strategies for solid-supported reactions.
  • Examined different diyne precursors and functionalized alkyne reaction partners.
  • Utilized transition-metal catalysis for the cycloaddition reactions.
