Polymer-supported reaction

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009202",
  "term": "Polymer-supported reaction",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A chemical reaction where one or more reactants or catalysts are covalently attached to an insoluble polymer support. This technique simplifies product isolation and purification by allowing the polymer-bound species to be easily separated by filtration. It is a cornerstone of solid-phase synthesis, particularly in peptide and oligonucleotide synthesis.",
