Abstract
a-Sulfanyl-N-aryl-acetamides, attached to resin via the sulfur atom, undergo efficient Pummerer cyclization upon activation of the sulfur link, to give oxindoles, e.g., I. The heterocyclic products can be cleaved from the resin in a traceless manner using samarium(II) iodide. [on SciFinder (R)]
