The synthesis of (4-etehnylphenyl)diphenylmethanol

摘要

Polymer-immobilized trityl alcohol moieties are im- portant protecting groups for solid phase peptide syn- thesis. We also have an interest in polymers function- alized with this group as precursors to potential stable free radicals in living free-radical polymerization. The preparation of these polymers is normally carried out by lithiation of polystyrene beads followed by quenching of the lithium salt with benzophenone.
