Background

Biotage® MP-Trisamine is a macroporous polystyrene-bound scavenger, for electrophiles such as acid chlorides, sulfonyl chlorides, and isocyanates. Resin-bound scavengers are added after a reaction is complete in order to quench and react selectively with excess reactants and/or reaction by-products.

MP-Trisamine is a highly cross-linked, robust, and low-swelling material, which makes it ideal for restricted volume environments (e.g. microwave vials, 96-well plates, etc.). Its unique pore structure provides greater access to the reactive sites without the need for solvent swelling, resulting in faster reactions and higher recoveries. The abrasion-resistant matrix has better handling characteristics and reduced transfer losses.

Trisamine Options and Metal Scavenging

Biotage supplies two bound Trisamines ligands. As well as MP-Trisamine, Biotage® Si-Trisamine is a powerful metal scavenger for transition metals such as Palladium, copper, zinc and iron. (see product note PPS372)

Representative Procedures

Scavenging by MP-Trisamine and PS-Trisamine in 1,2-Dichloroethane

The scavenging capability of MP-Trisamine was tested with a series of five electrophiles, present at an initial concentration of 0.5 M in dichloroethane (Table 1).

Under these conditions, four of the five electrophiles were scavenged within 0.5 h, using either of the two scavengers. The now defunct PS-Trisamine was unable to scavenge 3-methoxyphenyl isocyanate to completion in this time.

Summary

• MP-Trisamine offers the following benefits:
• Scavenges effectively in solvents that do not swell regular gel type cross-linked polystyrene
• Limited swelling, so can be used where volume is restricted (e.g. 96 well plates, microwave vials)
• For certain substrates, Biotage® MP-Trisamine offers more complete scavenging than traditional gel base Trisamine ligands.
