Welcome to Issue 2.4 of the "Organic Chemistry Newsletter". This newsletter focuses on industrial/academic organic and medicinal chemists and is distributed by subscription only.

In this issue:

1. Solid Phase Extraction in Organic Synthesis

Solid phase extraction used to be a sample concentration technique in analytical laboratories. Today, as it has several advantages over the classic liquid-liquid extraction, it is rapidly developing as a powerful purification technique of libraries generated via solution phase parallel synthesis.
