Abstract

Divided we stand, together we fall: Incompatible reagents, such as water and LiAlH4, Grignard, or cuprate reagents, can be site-isolated on either side of a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) thimble (see scheme; SDS=sodium docecyl sulfate) for cascade reactions. The hydrophobic nature of the PDMS membrane prohibits polar molecules, such as water, from diffusing across the membrane.
