An on-resin Ugi four-component reaction followed by an intramol. nucleophilic arom. substitution (SNAr) has been developed for the rapid access to biaryl-ether contg. macrocycles. Supported isocyanide was prepd. and used together with heptanal, butylamine, and 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid for on-resin Ugi four-component reaction. [on SciFinder (R)]
