The synthesis of pomalidomide-conjugates, crucial intermediates for developing PROTACs, suffers from prolonged reaction times and extensive byproduct formation. Herein, we present a methodology that overcomes these limitations, achieving complete within minutes while minimizing side products. By shortening the timeframes, our method will facilitate exploration novel pomalidomide-based PROTACs.
