The formation of the amide bond is one of the most abundant reactions in modern chemistry. In the pursuit of functional diverse amides, a plethora of coupling methods and reagents have been developed. Recently there has been an increase in examples of such coupling reagents immobilized on the solid phase. It can often be quite difficult to identify selection criteria for a coupling agent in a specific application. Herein we describe how a range of polymer supported coupling agents perform when using substrates of varying levels of substitution, reactivity and steric bulk. Comparisons between microporous (swelling) and macroporous (rigid) polymeric reagents will also be shown.
