Patent ID: 7820785

Claim:
A method of solid phase synthesis, the method comprising: providing a linker-functionalized support having a covalently attached linker, the linker-functionalized support having the formula: SS—[NH—(C(R 1 )(R 2 )) p —C(R 3 )(R 4 )(OR 7 )] m wherein: SS represents a support material; NH—(C(R 1 )(R 2 )) p —C(R 3 )(R 4 )(OR 7 ) represents the linker, wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 are each independently hydrogen or an organic group with the proviso that at least one of R 3 and R 4 is an aromatic group, R 7 is hydrogen, a protecting group, or an organic group capable of being derivatized, and p is at least 1; and m is 1 to the resin capacity of the support material; and conducting one or more reactions on the linker-functionalized support.
