Solid-supported reagents in organic synthesis

The current interest in solid-phase organic synthesis has led to a renewed interest in a complementary technique in which solid supported reagents are used in solution phase chemistry. This technique obviates the need for att achment of the substrate to a solid-support, and enables the chemist to mon itor the reactions using familiar analytical techniques. The purpose of thi s review is to increase awareness of the wide range of useful transformatio ns which can be accomplished using solid-supported reagents. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons. Inc.
