Multipolymer solution-phase reactions: application to the Mitsunobu reaction

J Am Chem Soc. 2005 Jan 12;127(1):52-3. doi: 10.1021/ja045188r.

Abstract

The realization of the first polymer-on-polymer Mitsunobu reaction, in which a polymeric phosphine is used simultaneously with a polymeric azodicarboxylate, is reported. This strategy employs the use of soluble oligomers generated from ring-opening methathesis polymerization. 31P NMR analysis revealed that the two polymers were interacting to generate the Mitsunobu products. Application to several substrates, as well as comparison experiments with other polymeric reagents, is described.
