parallel
synthesis
The full set of compounds produced by Combinatorial and
parallel synthesis is called a compound library
Combinatorial and parallel synthesis in medicinal
chemistry projects
• a reaction is carried out in a series of wells such that each well contains a
single product. This method is a ‘quality rather than quantity’
• often used for focused lead optimization studies.
• typical medicinal chemist may synthesize one or two new entities a week.
• With parallel synthesis, that same researcher can synthesize a dozen or
more pure molecules.
• can be carried out on solid phase and also be carried out in solution
''solution phase organic synthesis (SPOS)'‘
• many techniques to facilitate SPOS. Eg. Amide synthesis.
