Biotage ISOLUTE Si-Propylsulfonic Acid (SCX-2) metal scavenger
The Biotage ISOLUTE Si-Propylsulfonic Acid (SCX-2) belongs to a class of strong supported acids. As a bound sulfonic acid, it has a natural propensity to bind alkali and some transition metal group metals, which means that it can be used as a scavenger for metals with a +I or +II oxidation state, such as Na, K, Li, also Pd, Rh, and Ru. SCX-2 is typically used as a metal scavenger when the target product is not basic, to avoid the obvious acid/ base product binding interactions with the scavenger.
