Towards the combinatorial synthesis of azo-dyes

During this project a variety of novel techniques were investigated for the synthesis of azo-dyes, which could be adapted for use in a combinatorial manner.  Initially, this involved the generation and use of diazonium salts supported on ion-exchange resins, and was successfully applied to the synthesis of a 36-member azo-dye library.

Convergent synthesis of a selection of azo-dyes was achieved, using parallel synthetic techniques to prepare the triazine and azo-dye precursors.  Microwave synthesis was utilised to produce the final dyes, which were purified by solid-phase extraction.  Solution- and solid-phase synthesis of azo-dyes was attempted using a safety-catch linker approach to immobilise the dye intermediates.

Finally, a digital image analysis system was developed to analyse images of resin beads.  This system was used to analyse the size-distribution of bead samples and was compared with standard size-analysis methods.

Abstract

During this project a variety of novel techniques were investigated for the synthesis of azo-dyes, which could be adapted for use in a combinatorial manner.  Initially, this involved the generation and use of diazonium salts supported on ion-exchange resins, and was successfully applied to the synthesis of a 36-member azo-dye library.

Convergent synthesis of a selection of azo-dyes was achieved, using parallel synthetic techniques to prepare the triazine and azo-dye precursors.  Microwave synthesis was utilised to produce the final dyes, which were purified by solid-phase extraction.  Solution- and solid-phase synthesis of azo-dyes was attempted using a safety-catch linker approach to immobilise the dye intermediates.

Finally, a digital image analysis system was developed to analyse images of resin beads.  This system was used to analyse the size-distribution of bead samples and was compared with standard size-analysis methods.
