title: Dendritic supports in organic synthesis.
abstract: An overview is presented of the recent developments in the use of dendritic supports in organic synthesis. Examples are presented of the application of dendritic supports in both liquid- and solid-phase organic synthesis. In liquid-phase synthesis, soluble dendrimers are used as the substrate support, while in solid-phase synthesis, 'dendronized' insoluble resins are used for this purpose. Selected examples of the synthesis of compound libraries on dendritic supports via combinatorial techniques are discussed.
