Microwave Chemistry Low complexity Low G # chemist Increased innovativeness High likelihood of success Solid supported reagents Multicomponent reactions Multi-step one-pot reactions Whole workflow
What slows down drug discovery? 1. Target and Synthesis Design 2. Reaction 3. Work-up - usually extraction & evaporation 4. Purification - usually chromatography 5. Spectral Analysis Registration Bottlenecks (3) and (4) become greater with microwave chemistry J. C. Hodges, Pfizer Inc. ACS Spring Meeting, San Diego, 2001
Advantages of Solid-supported Reagents/Scavengers Drive reaction to completion using excess reagents Remove spent and excess reagent by filtration Perform one-pot multi-step reactions Mix incompatible functionalities Real time reaction progress monitoring (TLC/LC-MS) Eliminate problems with small molecule reagents Toxicity, byproducts difficult to eliminate, odor Slow reaction kinetics
