Abstract:
A dosing form for a polymer support for organic chemical synthesis in a solvent medium comprising a fixed weight amount of beads of a polymer containing functional groups, which polymer is insoluble in the solvent for the intended synthesis, is provided as compressed tablets of essentially equal weight and composition wherein the polymer beads are essentially intact and are released as such when the tablets are disintegrated in said solvent. Use of the dosing form is made in conventional synthesis, in parallel synthesis, in split and mix synthesis and/or combinatorial chemistry. In a method for producing the dosing form, beads of a polymer having functional gropusgroups is compressed into tablets after pre-treatment with an aprotic organic solvent groups are compressed into tablets after pre-treatment with an aprotic organic solvent.
Abstract:
A dosing form for at least one solid reagent for use in conventional organic and inorganic synthesis, in parallel synthesis, and in split and mix synthesis in combinatorial chemistry is provided as compressed tablets each containing the same predetermined amount of said at least one reagent embedded in a polymer matrix comprising beads of a polymer insoluble in the solvents for the intended synthesis, which tablets are capable of disintegrating in said solvent for release of the at least one reagent and disperse the matrix as polymer beads into the solvent. The polymer beads forming the matrix and the reagents of the dosing form can easily be removed by filtration in order to separate these from a formed soluble product. In a method for producing the dosing form, beads of one or more polymers are mixed with the reagents and compressed into tablets after pre-treatment with an aprotic organic solvent.
