Post-production, highly efficient

With the development of HPLC, a new dimension was added to the tools available for the study of natural products. HPLC is ideally suited to the analysis of non-volatile, sensitive compounds frequently found in biological systems. Unlike other available separation techniques such as TLC and electrophoresis, HPLC methods provide both qualitative and quantitative data and can be easily automated. The basis for the HPLC method for the PSP toxins was established in the late 1970 s when Buckley et al. (2) reported the post-column derivatization of the PSP toxins based on an alkaline oxidation reaction described by Bates and Rapoport (3). Based on this foundation, a series of investigations were conducted to develop a rapid, efficient HPLC method to detect the multiple toxins involved in PSP. Originally, a variety of silica-based, bonded stationary phases were utilized with a low-pressure post-column reaction system (PCRS) (4,5), Later, with improvements in toxin separation mechanisms and the utilization of a high efficiency PCRS, a... 

One of the most striking demonstrations of the Heck reaction on solid phase was an efficient macrocyclization reaction by Hauske et al. They cyclized the resin-bound species 19 under mild conditions and obtained products with high post-cleavage purity (Scheme 19).49 The efficiency of these reactions for a variety of structural modifications in the ring seems to suggest that the pseudodifution effects of site isoiation on resin are important.
