The derivatization of poly(p-(chloromethyl)styrene-co-divinylbenzene) (Merrifield resin) with N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-aminoethanethiol is presented as a convenient route for the generation of thiol terminated peptides using a solid phase methodology. Maximum resin substitution reached 92% (773 mumol/g) after 24 h. However, at 30 min

Poly[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl oleate-co-pentafluorophenyl methacrylate] [P(MAEO-co-PFPMA)] random copolymers with oleate and pentafluorophenyl side-chain pendants were synthesized. These copolymers were utilized as dual-reactive polymeric scaffolds in a range of post-polymerization modification strategies involving thiol-ene and para-fluoro-thiol substitution, amidation, trans-esterification, and epoxidation followed by
