Combinatorial chemistry in higher school: Ten-year experience of research,educational, and managerial projects

Key aspects of differences between liquid-phase parallel synthesis and preparation of a single compound at a time are reviewed. Specific technique and equipment is required to make in the parallel manner such processes as heating (involving MW ovens and flow microreactors), extraction, filtration, and chromatography. Rich illustrations may be useful in educational courses on medicinal and combinatorial chemistry.
