Complementary to the book cluster of combinatorial synthesis, this title provides unique information on the power of functional resins in organic synthesis. As such, it contains everything you need to know -- from supported reagents, to scavengers, resins, and the synthesis of biomolecules and natural products. With functional resins saving time and energy by simplifying work-up procedures thereby protecting natural resources and improving the synthesis, this text is an invaluable companion for all chemists and biochemists working in university research and industry.
