Polymeric acyl-transfer reagents

Kumari, K. A. Sreekumar, K. Polymeric Acyl Transfer Reagents Synthesis of Amides Using Polystyrene Supported Oximino Esters, Polymer 1996,37, 171. 

Up to the present, a variety of polymeric acyl transfer reagents have been prepared. Some of these are discussed below in terms of their activity and utilization potentials ... 

Polymer-linked MWCNT nanocomposites were prepared by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT). The RAFT reagent was successfully grafted on to the surface of MWCNTs and PS chains were grafted from MWCNTs via RAFT polymerization [192], By covalently linking acyl chloride functions of functionalized MWCNTs with living polystyryllithium, Huang et al. succeeded in the preparation of polystyrene-functionalized MWCNTs (Scheme 1.32) [193],... 

The use of transfer polymeric reagents (PRs) as excellent acylating agents for high yield and high purity peptide synthesis is described.
