Polymeric supports have become a big necessity for automated synthesis and combinatorial chemistry, yet, the loading capacities of most polystyrene resins are very limited (typically <1.5 mmol g −1 ). Dendrimers and hyperbranched polymers have been discussed for this application and now became readily available. These soluble polymers can either be used directly as high‐loading supports for substrates, reagents, and catalysts or alternatively in hybrid polymers linked to conventional polystyrene resins.
