Drug Discovery
SiliCycle is a recognized industry leader of innovative methods for more efficiency in drug discovery.
Our products are particularly well suited for drug discovery chemists that perform amide couplings, reductive aminations, metal mediated couplings, etc., on a daily basis. Our supported reagents and catalysts greatly simplify the reaction and work-up process, enabling chemists to run more reactions and generate more compounds. Furthermore, we have a whole range of flash cartridges and TLC plates to assist the chemists in the purification of these compounds.
We are your partner of choice for all your synthesis, catalysis, analysis, purification and metal removal requirements.
We commit ourselves to offer you best quality products accompanied by expert technical support at a competitive price!
- Under a CDA, we will screen a customer’s metal contaminated reaction mixture against our SiliaMetS® Metal scavengers to determine the best scavenger and the best conditions.
Custom Phase Synthesis:
- We have the knowledge to graft any function (small molecules, peptides, sugars, and proteins) onto silica gel and we do that for a customer’ specific application for catalysis, support, or chromatography.

SiliaMetS® Triamine
SiliaMetS® Triamine (SiliaMetS WAX-3, Si-TRI) is effective for scavenging metals such as Pb, Co, Ru and Pd. Our screening studies have shown it to be the preferred scavenger for Pb. It can also be used as a scavenger for acid chlorides, isocyanates and other electrophiles.
-
SiliaMetS® Diamine
SiliaMetS® Diamine (Si-DIA) is a proven scavenger for metals and electrophiles. It scavenges acids, acid chlorides, anhydrides, aldehydes, isocyanates, and chloroformates as well as Pb, Ni, and Cd.
-
SiliaMetS® Thiol
SiliaMetS® Thiol (Si-Thiol) is a robust metal scavenger for a variety of metals including Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag and Pb under a wide range of conditions. It has been used in pharmaceutical processes up to the pilot plant scale. It is our most versatile metal scavenger and is the preferred metal scavenger for Pd(II), Cu, Ag, and Hg.
-
SiliaBond® Amine
SiliaBond® Amine (Si-NH2) is an effective scavenger of acid chlorides, sulfonyl chlorides, isocyanates and other electrophiles. Si-NH2 has been shown to be effective metal scavenger and catalyst for Knoevenagel reactions. SiliaBond Amine is also used in chromatography as normal phase sorbent.
-
SiliaBond® TBD
SiliaBond® TBD (1,5,7-Triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene, Si-TBD) is a silica bound bicyclic guanidine moiety that is sufficiently basic to deprotonate moderately acidic hydrogens. It is most commonly used for the alkylation of phenols (Williamson ether synthesis) and amines, and the esterification of carboxylic acids using alkyl halides. It may also be used to scavenge boronic acids such as phenylboronic acid: 98% removal with 1 equivalent in DCM at room temperature after 1 h.
-
SiliaMetS® TAAcOH
SiliaMetS® TAAcOH (SiliaMetS Triaminetetraacetic Acid) is a silica bound metal scavenger for Pd(0), Ni(0) and Cu. It is the supported version of EDTA in its free form. It is an effective scavenger for metals in low or zero oxidation states, which includes many of the most synthetically useful catalysts such as tetrakis-(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0).
-
SiliaMetS® TAAcONa
SiliaMetS® TAAcONa or (or SiliaMetS Triaminetetraacetate, sodium salt) is a silica bound metal scavenger for Pd(II), Ni(II) and Cu. It is the supported version of EDTA in its sodium salt form. It is an effective scavenger for metals in higher oxidation state, 2+ or higher.
-
SiliaMetS® Thiourea
SiliaMetS® Thiourea (Si-THU) is a versatile metal scavenger for all forms of palladium and is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. It works particularly well in organic solvents. It can also be used to scavenge Ag, Pt, Ru, Rh and Hg. Once complexed with a transition metal, it has been reported as being an effective catalyst.
-
SiliaMetS® Dimercaptotriazine (DMT)
SiliaMetS® DMT (Si-DMT) is the silica bound equivalent of 2,4,6-trimercaptotriazine (trithiocyanuric acid). It is a versatile metal scavenger for a variety of metals including Cd, Co, Ni, Pd, Pt, Rh, and Ru under a wide range of conditions and the preferred metal scavenger for ruthenium catalysts.
TMT has been reported to efficiently remove palladium and heavy metals by precipitation. Unfortunately, its solubility in organic solvents causes problem. SiliaMetS DMT solves this issue and almost all solvents can now be used.
