Modular ketal-linked prodrugs and biomaterials enabled by organocatalytic transisopropenylation of alcohols
Isopropenyl ethers (IPPEs) are essential intermediates for obtaining ketal-based prodrugs and biomaterials, but traditional approaches for their synthesis are limited by poor functional group compatibility and harsh reaction conditions.

| Summary: | Isopropenyl ethers (IPPEs) are essential intermediates for obtaining ketal-based prodrugs and biomaterials, but traditional approaches for their synthesis are limited by poor functional group compatibility and harsh reaction conditions. Here, the authors report an organocatalytic transisopropenylation approach for IPPE synthesis in mild reaction conditions and with wide range of substrates, and use it to prepare acid-sensitive ketal-linked prodrugs and biomaterials. |
