Abstract
The present invention provides several methods of synthesis and separation in which organic/fluorous phase separation techniques are used to effect separations. The present invention also provides novel compositions of matter comprising fluorous Si, Sn and Ge compounds.
Claims3
A method for carrying out a chemical reaction, comprising the steps of:
- forming an organic/fluorous solubilizing liquid phase comprising a solvent system, the solvent system adapted to substantially solubilize a fluorous reaction component, the solvent system also being selected to substantially solubilize at least one organic reaction component convertible in a reaction scheme to an organic product, the fluorous reaction component comprising sufficient fluorine to render the organic product separable via an organic/fluorous separation technique from any excess fluorous reaction component and any fluorous byproduct of the fluorous reaction component produced in the reaction scheme;
- contacting the fluorous reaction component and the organic reaction component in the organic/fluorous solubilizing liquid phase under conditions suitable to effect a desired reaction of the fluorous reaction component and the organic reaction component;
- and
- after production of the organic product, separating the organic product from any excess fluorous reaction component and any fluorous byproduct.
