Abstract

Polystyrene-IIDQ, a polymer-supported coupling reagent, was synthesized in three steps from Merrifield resin in 86% overall conversion. This reagent efficiently coupled carboxylic acids to amines in good yields and high purities, required no pre-activation step, and was tolerant of the order of reagent addition. PS-IIDQ was observed to be more efficient than polymer-supported carbodiimides (PS-EDC and PS-DCC) and gave higher yields than ...
