Liquid-phase chemistry: recent advances in soluble polymer-supported catalysts, reagents and synthesis

Abstract

Chemistry on soluble polymer-matrices, termed liquid-phase organic synthesis, is emerging as a viable alternative or adjunct to the classical solid-phase approach across the broad spectrum of polymer-supported organic chemistry. This review details the significant advances in liquid-phase synthetic methodologies, reagents, catalysts and supports that have appeared from 1997 to the present.
