Abstract: In this article a new kind of polymer-support: 2-polystyrylsulfonylethanol was prepared and used in solid-phase organic synthesis. Sodium polystyrylsulfinate resin 1 reacted with chloroethanol in the presence of phase transfer catalyst Bu4NIand KIas a cocatalyst to give 2-polystyrylsulfonylethanol resin 2 After the esterification of resin 2 with Boc-Gly, deprotection of Boc group with HCl, neutralization by Et3N, conversion of the free amino group with phenyl isocyanate or phenyl isothiocanate to urea to give urea resin 6 The urea resins 6a and 6b were cleaved with 6 mol/L HCl to obtain the hydantoin derivatives 7a and 7b in an overall yields of 29%—30%. While the resin 6 was treated with 4 mol/L NaOHthen HCl to give the urea derivatives 8a and 8b in an overall yields of 20%—21%. The whole synthesis processes were optimized by the trace of the reactions by using IRspectra. The results show that resin 2 can easily form a stable ester linker with carboxylic acids and this kind of linker can be cleaved by the use of both strong acid or dilute base.
