a, E-factors for the synthesis of discrete TBDMSO-C90-OTBDMS, HO-C90-OH, CHO-C90-CHO, and MeOOC-C90-COOMe without or with solvent recovery. b, Mass distributions of raw materials, reagents, solvents, and final products used for the iterative synthesis of discrete TBDMSO-C90-OTBDMS, HO-C90-OH, CHO-C90-CHO, and MeOOC-C90-COOMe. c, E-factors for the synthesis of discrete ultralong diols (HO-Cn-OH, n = 54 and 126) and diesters (MeOOC-Cn-COOMe, n = 54 and 126) without or with solvent recovery.
