Wang resin

Wang resin is a type of solid support used in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, especially in pharmaceuticals. It is made of a durable polymer that allows chemists to attach and grow molecules step-by-step, then easily remove the finished compound. This resin is valued for its stability and compatibility with various chemical reactions, enabling efficient and precise assembly of target compounds. Its structure includes a polystyrene backbone with specific functional groups that facilitate attachment of building blocks, making it a foundational tool in solid-phase synthesis techniques.
