A sulfur HASC (
-hetero-atom substituted carbonyl) linker has been utilized in solid-phase approachesto oxindoles and tetrahydroquinolones. The route to oxindoles employs the first Pummerer cyclizationson solid phase, whereas the route to tetrahydroquinolones involves a microwave-assisted Heck reactionfollowed by a Michael cyclization. In both cases, the linker is cleaved in a traceless fashion by electrontransfer from samarium(II) iodide. The routes illustrate the compatibility of the linker system with anumber of reaction types and its utility for library synthesis.
