SiliaBond® Reagents Kit For Microwave Applications
In recent years, μ-wave synthesizers have taken organic chemistry by storm. Fast kinetics, higher yields, excellent purities, wide compatibility of solvents, and their applicability to a variety of reactions and applications, makes them very important tools in the laboratory. After their introduction, chemists started to use supported reagents for solution-phase synthesis. The polymer supported reagents commonly used, although very useful, have drawbacks in -wave synthesizers: swelling and heat stability. The high temperatures generated inside these synthesizers put stress on these resins. Also, because of the small reaction volumes, the swelling of the resins can be problematic. Silica-based reagents on the other hand, do not suffer from such shortcomings. They are heat resistant and they do not swell.
For your convenience, SiliCycle and CEM Corporation had developed a silica-based reagents kit for μ-wave applications that contains SiliaBond® reagents for different types of reactions (amide synthesis, reductive amination, Suzuki couplings) as well as electrophile, nucleophile, and metal scavenging reactions that demonstrate the effectiveness of these reagents in μ-wave applications. You will find general experimental procedure related to each application.

SiliaBond® Propylsulfonic Acid (SCX-2)
Supported sulfonic acids such as SiliaBond® Propylsulfonic Acid (SiliaBond SCX-2) are in a class of strong acids widely used in different fields of synthetic organic chemistry. Their applications are well known and are used in a large number of settings going from drug discovery laboratories up to manufacturing processes. Among these applications, we denote their uses as acid catalysts, stationary phases for ion chromatography and basic impurity scavengers. Meanwhile, the most common use is probably as a strong cation exchanger (SCX) for the amine “Catch and Release” purification technique in SPE cartridges.

SiliaBond® Cyanoborohydride
SiliaBond® Cyanoborohydride (Si-CBH) is the silica bound equivalent of sodium cyanoborohydride. Bound cyanoborohydride is very useful in reductive amination and in the reduction of imines and aldehydes. This problem is minimized with the use of silica bound materials since the toxic cyanide residue remains on the silica.

SiliaBond® Carbodiimide (DCC)
SiliaBond® Carbodiimide (Si-DCC) is a bound neutral carbodiimide that may be used for the synthesis of amides, esters, and activated esters.
-
SiliaBond® Ethyl Carbodiimide (EDC)
SiliaBond® Ethyl-Dimethylaminopropyl Carbodiimide (Si-EDC) reacts in a similar fashion to SiliaBond Carbodiimide (Si-DCC). The advantage of Si-EDC is this new reagent greatly simplifies the work up procedure of the reactions since a simple filtration is all that takes to remove the unwanted side product of the amides formation (urea).

SiliaBond® Diethylamine
SiliaBond® Diethylamine (SiliaBond WAX-2) is a silica bound tertiary amine base and can be used in most applications requiring a tertiary amine, particularly as a HCl sponge. Silica bound ammonium salt by-products are easily separated by filtration. This diethylamine immobilized on silica gel can be used for the same applications as SiliaBond Dimethylamine. It is a very common supported tertiary amine.
