Abstract
This review describes the use of reagents adsorbed on, or intercalated in, insoluble inorganic supports for organic synthesis. The inorganic supports used are Celite, silica, alumina, graphite,carbon, Montmorillonite K-10 clay, Girdler KSF clay, molecular sieves, and Kieselguhr. 1. Introduction 2. Reagents on Celite 2.1.
