title: A simple, inexpensive apparatus for performance of preparative scale solution phase multiple parallel synthesis of drug analogs. I. Preparation of a retrospective library of quinolone antiinfective agents.
abstract: A simple inexpensive apparatus is described consisting of conveniently commercially available components which is suitable for the solution phase multiple parallel synthesis of 24-72 analogs of drug-like molecules. The use of the apparatus is illustrated by preparation of a retrospective library of over 100 analogs of antimicrobial fluoroquinolones prepared in 0% to quantitative yields. Each analog was prepared in up to 150 mg quantity and each was analyzed by NMR and mass spectrometric techniques to verify its purity and identity.
