By combining reaction work-up and catalyst recovery into a simple filtration procedure we have developed a substantially faster technique for organic synthesis. Our protocol eliminates the time-consuming conventional liquid–liquid extraction and is capable of parallelization and automation. Additionally, it requires only minimal amounts of solvent.
