Amino-functionalized carbon nanotubes as nucleophilic scavengers in solution phase combinatorial synthesis

A versatile method for fast scavenging a variety of electrophiles using carbon nanotubes functionalized by amino groups (CNT–NH2) is reported. Following the scavenging event, CNT–NH2 can be easily separated from the reaction mixture by filtration, leaving the desired products in excellent yields and purities.
