Abstract

A new iterative divergent/convergent solid-phase synthesis of precisely defined oligomers is described. The starting monomer is affixed to the solid support so that both ends are free for growth. The polymer-supported n-mer bearing α, ω-terminal iodides is divided into two portions. The smaller portion is converted to the polymer-supported (n+ 2)-mer by coupling an α, ω-dialkyne to the two iodide ends. The larger portion is liberated from the polymer ...
