Polymeric Materials in Organic Synthesis and Catalysis

This is the first book to describe the synthesis and characterization of the materials used in polymer-supported synthesis. The authors cover not only the classical polymers and their use in homogeneous, heterogeneous and micellar catalysis, but also such new developments as «enzyme-labile linkers», illustrating how to simplify the purification process and avoid waste. The result is a wealth of useful information – for beginners and experts alike – in one handy reference, removing the need for difficult and time-consuming research among the literature.
