Complete functionalisation of small and large diameter bromopolystyrene beads; applications for solid-supported reagents, scavengers and diversity-oriented synthesis†
Abstract
Bromopolystyrene beads with diameters of up to 600 µm have been derivatized completely, via bromine–magnesium exchange and interception with electrophiles, to yield high quality solid-supported reagents, scavengers and solid supports for use in diversity-oriented synthesis.
