Significance

Various isothiocyanates were synthesized from aldehydes and polymer-supported thiobenzophenone. The polymer-supported thiobenzophenone 1 was prepared from the PS-DVB co-polymer in two steps (eq. 1). The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the hydroximoyl chlorides, prepared from the corresponding aldehydes, with 1, was carried out in the presence of triethylamine in toluene at 0 °C to afford the polymer-supported oxathiazol 2 (eq. 2). Subsequent Lewis acid assisted fragmentation of the resulting polymer 2 gave the isothiocyanates 3 (60-84% yield).
