2-Chlorotritylchloride (2-CTC) resin was prepared efficiently from 1% DVB-crosslinked polystyrene resin and 1-chloro-2-(dichloro (phenyl) methyl) benzene, which was easily obtained from 2-chlorobenzophenone. This 2-CTC resin showed excellent properties as a support for solid-phase peptide synthesis. Four peptide fragments were obtained in high purity using the resin.
