Abstract
AbstractA methodology for screening either various catalysts for a given metathesis reaction, i.e., ring opening‐ring closing alkene metathesis (RO‐RCM) and cross‐metathesis (CM), or various substrates for a given pre‐catalyst on a thin layer chromatography (TLC) plate has been developed. As the substrates elute with the solvent, this TLC‐based system acts as a heterogeneous catalyst bed (“TLC reactor”). Selected promising catalyst candidates were screened on a TLC plate and their initial catalytic potential as observed in the TLC test was later fully confirmed in a classical heterogeneous reaction set‐up using standard commercially available silica (D11‐10). Reacting polyfunctional, natural product‐like substrates in our TLC reactor allows the simultaneous screening of various substrates and the convenient micro‐scale preparation and isolation of potentially biologically active products.
