Abstract
Abstract A new approach for the reaction of Sepharose with cyanogen bromide is described, using triethylamine as a “cyano-transfer” reagent. An optimized procedure for activation at neutral pH was developed. This procedure requires only about 5% of the usual amount of cyanogen bromide. Activated resins are free of imidocarbonates and carbamates, containing only active cyanate esters. Extremely high coupling capacities (75 μmol ligand/g wet Sepharose 4B) can be obtained using this method.
