Simultaneous Reactions

Simultaneous Reactions are a combination of reactions that share similar reaction conditions, and can be applied on a precursor to carry out multiple transformations at once (e.g. hydrogenolysis of benzyl ethers and benzyl amines, or deprotections of Boc-protected amines and TBDMS ethers).

The reaction card for a simultaneous reaction shows the complete transformation from precursor to product. The names of the discrete transformations are listed in the box under the reaction. You may check if there are similar reactions, or side reactions related to the overall transformation by clicking on their respective tabs.

To see detailed information for each discrete transformation, open the menu on the top right of the card, and select the transformation you would like to check. Alternatively, you can click on the name of the transformation listed under the reaction.

The card will display the reaction scheme, as well as the reaction name, typical conditions, and illustrative references related to the selected transformation.

You may also view similar reactions for the selected transformation by clicking on the corresponding tab. Side reactions are not available for individual transformations.

To go back to the overall reaction, select ‘Simultaneous Reactions’ in the drop-down menu.
