What is combinatorial chemistry?
Used to prepare sets of compounds from sets of building blocks.
Advantages of solid phase (5).
Product is immobolized.
Simple filtration for isolation.
Beads easy to manipulate (divide easily).
No side products.
Automation.
Disadvantage of solid phase (4).
Hard to monitor.
Inefficient (need excess reagent).
Most reactions developed for solution phase.
Need design of linker molecules
Advantages of solution phase (5).
Easy to monitor.
Scalable.
Little development time needed.
Stoichiometric reagents.
Automation.
Disadvantage of solution phase.
Purification.
Automation difficult!
