Diversity Oriented Synthesis vs. Combinatorial Chemistry

Posted on December 9, 2008 by Marv

In the last several weeks, we’ve published a couple of posts where researchers used fluorous techniques in the production of diversity oriented synthesis (DOS) libraries. As we have noted DOS libraries are particularly well-suited for fluorous techniques since fluorous purification … Continue reading →
