Preparation of polymer-bound pyrazolone active esters for combinatorial chemistry

The preparation of solid-phase active esters from a new pyrazolone linker resin is described. N-Acylation using this resin provides various amide products with a high conversion rate and good purity under mild conditions. The polymer-bound pyrazolone linkers are stable in the reaction conditions and are resistant to hydrolysis. Moreover, this resin can also be reused repeatedly without a loss of reactivity.
