Resin-Bound Triaryl Bismuthanes and Bismuth Diacetates:  Novel Multidirectional Linkers and Novel Resin-Bound Arylation Reagents

A general synthesis of resin-bound triaryl bismuthanes and resin-bound triaryl bismuth diacetates starting from commercially available chloromethyl polystyrene is reported. For the first time resin-bound bismuth has been utilized as part of a multidirectional linker system for solid-phase organic synthesis and as a resin-bound arylation reagent.
