Abstract

A simple solid-phase assisted strategy for the N-1 functionalization of azamacrocycles is described. Compounds such as cyclen, cyclam and piperazine can be selectively modified by ­temporary attachment to solid-phase resins providing an efficient and clean method to prepare biomedically interesting moieteies.
