Questions and Answers

In combinatorial chemistry, why has there been much interest in using solution-phase chemistry for the preparation of combinatorial libraries?

  • To avoid mixtures of products that occur in one-bead synthesis
  • To reduce the time and resources required to develop and optimize reaction conditions for solid support reactions (correct)
  • To increase the yield of reactions that cannot be run on solid supports
  • To ensure that all reactions occur between amines and acid chlorides

What is the advantage of one-bead synthesis over solution-phase combinatorial chemistry?

  • One-bead synthesis results in one-compound synthesis (correct)
  • One-bead synthesis results in a mixture of products
  • One-bead synthesis allows for reactions between amines and chlorides only
  • One-bead synthesis is more time-consuming than solution-phase combinatorial chemistry

Why are many reactions unable to be run on solid supports in combinatorial chemistry?

  • Due to the lack of interest in solid support reactions
  • Because it takes time and resources to develop and optimize reaction conditions for solid support reactions
  • Because solid support reactions result in poor yields (correct)
  • Because solid support reactions lead to a mixture of products
