benzoin condensation on a solid support yielding benzils in trace
amounts (4-6%) only. However, further reaction
of the resin-bound benzils towards heterocycles was not reported.

Experimental Procedure for the Synthesis of Quinoxalines
4-[Oxo(phenyl)acetyl]benzoic
acid functionalized Wang resin (4a, 108
mg, 0.10 mmol, loading of 0.93 mmol/g) was suspended in
TMOF (3 mL) and charged with 2-amino-aniline (270 mg, 25 equiv,
2.50 mmol). The reaction mixture was shaken at r.t. for 18 h. The
resin was filtered off and washed successively with DMF, THF, as
well as CH2Cl2. The resin was cleaved with
TFA-CH2Cl2 (2 mL, v/v = 1:1) at
r.t. for 1 h, filtered, and washed with CH2Cl2 (1

References and Notes
Purities and product identities were determined by LC-MS analysis using a Hewlett-Packard HP 1100 liquid chroma-tography system coupled to a Micromass ZMD-400 spectrometer equipped with an Intersil column (ODS-3, 50 × 2.1 mm). The mobile phase was H2O (A) and MeCN (B), both containing 0.1% TFA. A gradient was used increasing from 10-95% B in 9 min followed by a hold at 95% B for 1 min and then re-equilibration for 3 min at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The column was maintained at 35 ˚C. Mass spectra were acquired in either the positive or negative ion mode under electrospray ionization (ESI). The compound purity was monitored based on the UV absorbency at 210 nm. The presence of all desired compounds was confirmed by their molecular mass.
11Yields refer to the crude products and were calculated on the basis of the initial loading of the resin.

Experimental Procedure for the Preparation of 1,2-Diketones
Wang
resin (6.00 g, 7.14 mmol, loading of 1.19 mmol/g, 1% cross-linking,
100-200 mesh) was suspended in DMF (40 mL). The suspension
was charged with 4-idodobenzoic
acid (3.19 g, 1.8 equiv,
12.85 mmol), 2,6-dichlorobenzoyl chloride (2.99 g, 2.0 equiv, 14.27
mmol), and pyridine (1.91 mL, 1.86 g, 3.3 equiv, 23.55 mmol), and
the reaction mixture was shaken at r.t. for 18 h. The resin was
filtered off and washed successively with DMF, MeOH, THF, as well
as CH2Cl2. Residual traces of solvent were
removed in vacuo overnight to provide the derivatized resin 2 with a theoretical loading capacity of
0.93 mmol/g based on 100% conversion. Under an
atmosphere of argon 4-iodobenzoic acid functionalized Wang resin 2 (3.00 g, 2.80 mmol, loading: 0.93 mmol/g)
was suspended in a solution of phenyl-acetylene (3.0 equiv, 858
mg, 8.41 mmol) in DMF-DIPEA (15 mL, v/v = 3:1).
Bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) dichloride (197 mg, 0.1 equiv,
0.28 mmol) and copper(I) iodide (213 mg, 0.4 equiv, 1.12 mmol) were
added, and the reaction mixture was shaken at r.t. for 18 h. After
filtration, the resin was washed with DMF, 50% aq AcOH,
MeOH, THF, and CH2Cl2. Residual traces of
solvent were removed in vacuo overnight to provide the derivatized
resin 3a with a theoretical loading capacity
of 0.96 mmol/g based on 100% conversion. An analytical
sample of the resin was treated with TFA in CH2Cl2 (v/v = 1:1)
for 1 h at r.t. Filtration and evaporation yielded 4-(phenylethynyl)benzoic
acid.

Wang resin (3a, 209 mg, 0.20 mmol, loading:
0.957 mmol/g) was suspended in anhyd DMSO (2 mL) and charged
with iodine (51 mg, 1 equiv, 0.20 mmol). The reaction mixture was
heated to 155 ˚C for 1 h. The resin was then filtered
off and successively washed with DMF, 50% aq AcOH, MeOH,
THF, as well as CH2Cl2. Residual traces of
solvent were removed in vacuo overnight to provide the derivatized
resin 4a with a theoretical loading capacity

was cleaved with TFA-CH2Cl2 (2 mL,
v/v = 1:1) at r.t. for 1 h,
