title: Recent developments and applications of liquid-phase strategies in organic synthesis.
abstract: Chemistry on soluble polymer supports, termed liquid-phase organic synthesis, is developing into an increasingly viable alternative or adjunct to the classical solid-phase approach across the broad spectrum of polymer-supported organic chemistry. Recent advances in the field include the use of soluble polymers in the combinatorial synthesis of peptide and small-molecule libraries, as catalyst and reagent supports, and as functionalized polymer-quench reagents for purifying solution-phase combinatorial libraries.
