SiliaBond®- Scavengers
SiliCycle offers a wide range of scavengers to simplify your purifications.
Scavengers are functionalized silica gels designed to react and bind excess reagents, metal complexes and/or by-products.More Information
The process for using scavengers is outlined in the scheme shown below. In the case of batch processing, the scavenger is added to the reaction mixture after completion. The process relies on chemically driven reactions where the excess reagents and reaction by-products react with and bind to the scavenger. The solution, which now only contains the product of interest, is separated from the silica bound impurities by filtration.
For flow through processing, the scavenger is packed into a column and the reaction mixture is passed through the column until complete scavenging is obtained.
SiliCycle Available Scavengers:
-
SiliaBond® Tosyl Chloride
SiliaBond® Tosyl Chloride (Si-TsCl) readily reacts with nucleophiles such as amines and alcohols. Reaction with alcohols yields the bound tosylate, which can then be used to synthesize amines and oxazolines.
-
SiliaBond® Isocyanate
SiliaBond® Isocyanate (Si-ISO) is a versatile scavenger for nucleophiles. It readily scavenges amines, thiols, thiolates, alkoxides, and acidic phenols. Loading is determined by the removal of benzylamine in hexane at room temperature.
-
SiliaBond® Amine nec
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® Piperazine
SiliaBond® Piperazine (Si-PPZ) is a useful deprotecting and scavenging agent for Fmoc1 and Bsmoc2 amino protecting groups and as a solid-phase Knoevenagel catalyst. According to the results of a study1, Si-PPZ is superior to its polystyrene-based equivalent. SiliaBond Piperazine may also be used to scavenge electrophiles.
-
SiliaBond® Tosic Acid nec (SCX)
SiliaBond® Tosic Acid (SiliaBond SCX, Si-TsOH) is a versatile bound strong acid with a pka <<1. It is widely used for the scavenging of amines and other basic functionalities, including weakly basic anilines, borohydrides, and metals such as Ni and Ag. It can also be used as an acid catalyst for organic reactions.6 Si-TsOH can serve as an alternative method to quench reactions instead of aqueous or organic soluble acids.

-
SiliaBond® Tosyl Hydrazine
SiliaBond® Tosyl Hydrazine (Si-TsNHNH2) is an effective scavenger of carbonyl compounds. It has been used to selectively remove aldehydes in the presence of ketones since the scavenging of ketones requires an acid catalyst. Once bound, sulfonyl hydrazones can be utilized in other synthetic transformations.
-
SiliaBond® Maleimide
SiliaBond® Maleimide (Si-MAL) has been designed to scavenge thiols. 90% of mercaptoethanol was removed with 4 eq. after 15 minutes in an aqueous environment. Complete scavenging was observed after 3 hours. SiliaBond Maleimide can also be used to immobilize peptides and proteins through the cysteine residues. 95% of L-cysteine was immobilized after only 15 minutes in a pH 4.5 buffered solution using 4 eq. of SiliaBond Maleimide.
-
SiliaBond® Piperidine
SiliaBond® Piperidine (Si-PIP) is a general purpose tertiary amine base to scavenge acids, thereby avoiding salt elimination problems. Also used as a base catalyst for Knoevenagel condensation.
-
SiliaBond® DMAP
SiliaBond® DMAP (Si-DMAP) is the supported equivalent of 4-dimethylaminopyridine commonly used as a nucleophilic catalyst in a wide variety of reactions such as acylation, amidation or acetylation.
