The parallel solid phase synthesis of an 18-member library of 2-substituted pyrimidines is described using a chlorogermane-functionalised resin. The success of the key Pinner-type condensations between a resin-bound enaminone and an array of amidine hydrochlorides highlights the stability of arylgermane linkers (cf. arylsilanes) towards strongly basic/nucleophilic conditions.
