PS-COD and PS-9-BBN: polymer-supported reagents for solution-phase parallel synthesis.

1,5-Cyclooctadiene was deprotonated under LICKOR conditions and reacted with Merrifield resin to afford an immobilized cyclooctadiene in high yield. This polymer is effective as a halogen scavenger, while hydroboration leads to a supported 9-BBN analogue. The latter exhibits similar regioselectivity to 9-BBN in olefin hydroboration.
