Abstract
With the implementation of combinatorial chemistry into the modern drug discovery process, the approach to novel diverse heterocycle libraries is an indispensable requirement. Triazenes, which are concealed diazonium salts, can be used to link functionalized arenes and amines to generate various heterocyclic structures, namely, benzoannelated nitrogen heterocycles, upon cleavage from the resin. Since triazene anchors are stable toward various reagents and perform well under a range of reaction conditions, these multifunctional linkers are well suited for automated solid-phase syntheses and the syntheses of complex organic molecules, such as natural products, on solid supports.
