01 /Applications

Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS)

(Chloromethyl)polystyrene is a key resin for SPPS, commonly known as Merrifield resin. It provides a solid support for the stepwise assembly of peptide chains using Boc or Bzl protecting group strategies.

Organic Synthesis

The reactive chloromethyl functionality enables its use in various organic synthesis applications where a solid-supported reagent or scaffold is required. It can be functionalised further for diverse synthetic pathways.

Chemical Biology Research

As a functionalised polymer, it serves as a platform in chemical biology for the immobilisation of biomolecules or the synthesis of specialised probes and combinatorial libraries.
