Macroporous polymer supported azide and nanocopper (I): efficient and reusable reagent and catalyst for multicomponent click synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted-1H-1,2,3-triazoles from benzyl halides
Microscopic infrared mapping of chloromethylated polystyrene resin beads
In solid-phase combinatorial chemistry, analyses are performed using a wide range of analytical techniques ranging from gel-phase nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to colorimetric tests to elemental analysis. However, these techniques cannot be used to interrogate functional group distribution at the single-bead level. This paper explores the feasibility of using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microscopy to examine site distribution on chloromethylated polystyrene resin beads and to quantify the loading after coupling with 4-cyanophenol, an IR tagging agent. FT-IR microscopy also provides a unique opportunity to better understand the reactivity of highly cross-linked polymer beads
