The Power of Functional Resins in Organic Synthesis

Complementary to the book cluster of combinatorial synthesis, this title provides unique information on the power of functional resins in organic synthesis. As such, it contains everything you need to know -- from supported reagents, to scavengers, resins, and the synthesis of biomolecules and natural products. With functional resins saving time and energy by simplifying work-up procedures thereby protecting natural resources and improving the synthesis, this text is an invaluable companion for all chemists and biochemists working in university research and industry.

Judit Tulla-Puche is a postdoctoral fellow in the group of Professor Fernando Albericio. She received her Ph.D. in chemistry at the University of Minnesota under the supervision of Professor George Barany, and then moved to the Barcelona Science Park. Her research efforts are directed at the synthesis of cyclic peptides and depsipeptides with anticancer activity, and the development of drug delivery methodologies.

Fernando Albericio is the Executive Director of the Barcelona Science Park and group leader at the Institute for Research in Biomedicals. His major research interests cover practically all aspects of peptide synthesis and combinatorial chemistry methodologies, as well as synthesis of peptides and small molecules with therapeutic activities. He has published over 400 papers and is currently editor of the International Journal of Peptide Research and Therapeutics.
