Phase supports, solid

Cocurrent three-phase fluidization is commonly referred to as gas-liquid fluidization. Bubble flow, whether coeurrent or countereurrent, is eonveniently subdivided into two modes mainly liquid-supported solids, in which the liquid exeeeds the minimum liquid-fluidization veloeity, and bubble-supported solids, in whieh the liquid is below its minimum fluidization velocity or even stationary and serves mainly to transmit to the solids the momentum and potential energy of the gas bubbles, thus suspending the solids. 

Countereurrent bubble flow with liquid-supported solids, whieh ean be affeeted by downward liquid fluidization of partieles having a density lower than that of the liquid, has been referred to as inverse three-phase fluidization. The mass transfer potential of sueh a eountercurrent operation is worthy of study, especially for cases in whieh dispersion of the gas rather than the liquid is ealled for and the required gas-liquid ratio and throughput ean be effected without flooding. In contrast, the eorresponding eoeurrent mode has reeeived more attention than all other eases and eonstitutes the majority of the literature on three-phase fluidization. 

Synthetic organic polymers, which are used as polymeric supports for chromatography, as catalysts, as solid-phase supports for peptide and oligonucleotide synthesis, and for diagnosis, are based mainly on polystyrene, polystyrene-divinylbenzene, polyacrylamide, polymethacrylates, and polyvinyl alcohols. A conventional suspension of polymerization is usually used to produce these organic polymeric supports, especially in large-scale industrial production. 

Organic Synthesis on Solid Phase. Supports, Linkers, Reactions... 

Under certain condition, however, reactions are still preferably conducted in solution. This is the case e.g., for heterogeneous reactions and for conversions, which deliver complex product mixtures. In the latter case, further conversion of this mixture on the solid support is not desirable. In these instances, the combination of solution chemistry with polymer-assisted conversions can be an advantageous solution. Polymer-assisted synthesis in solution employs the polymer matrix either as a scavenger or for polymeric reagents. In both cases the virtues of solution phase and solid supported chemistry are ideally combined allowing for the preparation of pure products by filtration of the reactive resin. If several reactive polymers are used sequentially, multi-step syntheses can be conducted in a polymer-supported manner in solution as well. As a further advantage, many reactive polymers can be recycled for multiple use. 

Another approach towards monocyclic N-unsubstituted 2-pyridones is based on a solid-phase supported Diels-Alder reaction where a resin-bound 2(lH)-pyrazinone 9 is reacted with acetylenic dienophiles (Fig. 4) [43]. The initially formed cycloadduct then undergoes a retro Diels-Alder reaction and depending on the substitution pattern of the starting pyrazinone the reaction... 

Recently, solid phase extraction (SPE) has been used to isolate members of this class of compounds. No solid phase support has been used exclusively and both hydrophobic- and hydrophilic-based solid phase extraction columns have been used for this assay. 

Other hydroxylic solid-phase supports such as cross-linked agarose are similarly activated with CDI or V V -carbonyldi-1,2,4-triazole. The activated matrices can then be smoothly coupled with AT-nucleophiles such as glycine, 6-aminohexanoic acid, diamines, or proteins. 212 ...

Synthesis of compounds on solid-phase supports became quite popular in the late 1990s and, though interest might have waned a little more recently, there may still be a demand for it in some establishments. If monitoring reactions carried out on resins is what is required, then a magic angle spinning (MAS) probe is the only way to go. 

Recyclability can be achieved by heterogenization of the reaction mixture, by binding the catalyst and products to different phases. This can be achieved by (i) immobilization of the catalyst on a solid inorganic or polymeric support (solid-liquid protocols) or (ii) partitioning the catalyst and reagents/products in different liquid phases (liquid-liquid protocols) (see Chapter 9.9 for more details on supported catalysts). 

Solid-Phase Supported Synthesis A Possibility for Rapid Scale-Up of Chemical Reactions... 

After isolating the product of a solid phase synthesis, the support (resin + linker) is usually discarded as waste, although successful examples of its reuse in further synthetic cycles are known with trityl type linkers (Frechet and Haque 1975). To reduce both volume of operation and amount of waste, the loading of the resin (quantified as millimoles of functionality per gram) has to be increased. Besides theoretical limitations (for polystyrene this is reached when every phenyl ring is substituted by the linker), there may be practical boundaries for using highly loaded resins in solid-phase supported synthesis. This issue was studied... 

Without the experience and the equipment to perform solid-phase supported syntheses on a larger scale, chemists explore alternative routes utilising solution-phase chemistry. To compare the direct scale-up on solid support and to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of both approaches, pyrimidine 1 was prepared in solution phase as well. For this relatively small and simple molecule, similar chemistry was applied (see Scheme 3) with some interesting results arising. 

In summary, we demonstrated the possibility of the fast scale-up of solid-phase supported synthesis. In one case (pyrimidine derivate), the research protocols could be used directly with only minor modifica-...
