Abstract
An efficient PEG-supported liquid-phase parallel synthesis of phenyloxyacetyl thioureas is described. PEG-bound phenol reacted with chloroacetic acid to afford PEG-bound phenyloxyacetic acid, which was readily converted into corresponding phenyloxyacetyl chloride. Subsequent nucleophilic substitution with ammonium thiocyanate followed by addition of primary arylamine gave PEG-bound phenyloxyacetyl thioureas, which was easily cleaved to give the resulting library in good to high yield and high purity.
