As one of many examples, the present invention contemplates use of solid phase polymers such as the poly(benzyl ether) shown in Formula A in which n is one to greater than 100,000 and X is the reaction product linked to the support by ester, amide, urethane, urea, amine or other bond, or a similar polymer containing a cross-linking agent such as 1,3,5-trihydroxymethylbenzene.
