Silica-Bound Reagents

• Product Overview: Solid-supported reagents provide an attractive and practical means of expediting organic synthesis. The advantages of using bound (i.e. insoluble) reagents instead of their solution phase counterparts in organic synthesis are as follows:
  Toxic or difficult to remove reagents and by-products are immobilised and can be separated from the product by a simple filtration
  Purification protocols including chromatography and liquid-liquid extractions, which are time consuming and difficult to scale up, are not required
  A large excess of reagent can be used, thus driving the reaction to completion
  One-pot multiple step reactions are easier to carry out
  They are suitable for use in flow-through applications and automated synthesis
