Synthesis of Readily Cleavable Immobilized 1,10-Phenanthroline Resins

1,10-Phenanthroline is derivatized and ultimately immobilized on two different polystyrene/divinylbenzene solid supports using convenient methodology. All syntheses are amenable to semiautomatic processing and are scalable for high-throughput screening. A domino copper-catalyzed coupling-cyclization reaction is used to illustrate applicability in catalytic studies.
