title: Organic synthesis using polymer-supported reagents, catalysts and scavengers in simple laboratory flow systems.
abstract: The use of appropriate combinations of polymer-supported reagents, catalysts and/or scavengers is a powerful approach, both for the synthesis of single organic compounds and for parallel syntheses. A further stage of development is the use of such reactants in flow systems. So far, it has been shown that a variety of flow formats afford excellent chemical yields and, where relevant, excellent enantiomeric excesses. The supports have a longer lifetime than in batch systems. 'Flow cascades' promise to be important in future.
