Polymer supports have been widely used in organic synthesis due to the ease of product purification. Photoremovable protective group (PPG) linkers provide an expeditious method for scaffold capture, diversification and purification. p-Hydroxylphenacyl (pHP) based photocleavage serves as an very efficient, fast and high yielding chromophore with a vast variety of substrates being released. Several novel polymer supports have been designed and synthesized based on pHP linkers and norbornenyl tags. Attachment of scaffold followed by a ROMP reaction forms the support suitable for chemical modification. Upon completion, light-activated cleavage gives rise to the desired product. This strategy has been demonstrated by small molecule release from pHP tethered polymer support.
