Download or read book Polymeric Materials in Organic Synthesis and Catalysis written by Michael R. Buchmeiser and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-03-06 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
