A new strategy for synthesis of polymeric supports with triazene linkers

A new strategy based on the use of diethylamine triazenes for stabilization and generation of polymer supported diazonium ions was described. New economical syntheses of four new polymeric supports with 3- and 6-carbon atom spacers and triazene linkers derived from meta- and para-aminophenol were described and compared to the traditional methods. The possible application of the polymer bound triazene masked diazonium salts as supports for immobilization of secondary amines (nortropine and 4-piperidinole and their esterification and oxidation), and as amine scavengers was shown. The new supports with meta-C3-T2 and para-C3-T2 linkers showed higher loadings and typically gave products with good yields and purities.
