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.

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.
