The Combinatorial Index

"Combinatorial chemistry has become a major focus of research activity for pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and biotechnology companies. The explosion of combinatorial methods has created the need for a compendium of reliable synthetic transformations from the primary literature. The Combinatorial Index fills this need. Included are chapters on linkers, solid-phase synthetic methods, analytical techniques, and solution libraries. Procedures from the literature for constructing combinatorial libraries of small molecules comprise an indispensable laboratory reference for the synthetic chemist. Each procedure in the compilation is preceded by a section entitled "Points of Interest," which highlights the strengths and limitations of the various methods. A structural appendix covers both functional group transformations and heterocyclization reactions in solid-phase synthesis. This comprehensive but easy-to-access guide to the combinatorial chemistry literature will save time on tedious library searches, introduce a growing audience of chemists to this exciting field, and lower the barriers to attempting a new or related methodology."--Jacket With the explosion of combinatorial solid-phase methods, access to information has become one of the main barriers facing a synthetic chemist who is contemplating a combinatorial approach to a medicinal chemistry problem. The Combinatorial Index is an answer to that problem. This compendium of methods from the primary literature provides quick and convenient access to reliable synthetic transformations as well as information on linkers and analytical methods. Each synthetic procedure is preceded by a section entitled"Points of Interest,"which highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the various studies. The index also covers the use of solution-based synthesis for the generation of molecular diversity.

• Organized for rapid retrieval of published information on classes of synthetic transformations, linkers, and analytical methods
• Serves as a laboratory manual for bench chemists
• Includes a chapter on linkers to assist in choice of linking strategy
• Discusses strengths and limitations of the various methods
• Contains a structural index showing functional group transformations in solid-phase synthesis
