A new synthetic route to tert-butyloxycarbonylaminoacyl-4-(oxymethyl)phenylacetamidomethyl-resin, an improved support for solid-phase peptide synthesis

Abstract

The preferred route to the aminoacylated 4-(oxymethyl)phenylacetamidomethyl-resin (-0CH2-Pam-resin) in-volves the condensation of a Boc-aminoacyl-4-(oxymethyl)phenylacetic acid (Boc = tert-butyloxycarbonyl) with aminomethyl-resin. Aminomethyl-resin was synthesized by direct amidoalkylation of polystyrene resin to give the phthalimidomethyl-resin. The extent of reaction was monitored by IR, allowing the reaction to be stopped at any chosen level of substitution. Hydrazinolysis gave aminomethyl-resin. The Boc-amino acid was converted in solution to a substituted benzyl ester by reaction with 4-(bromomethyl)phenylacetic acid phenacyl ester. Zinc-acetic acid reduction removed the phenacyl group to give the Boc-aminoacyl-4-(oxymethyl)phenylacetic acid, which was cou-pled to aminomethyl-resin with DCC. The benzyl ester bond of the resulting aminoacyl-OCH2-Pam-resins was ap-proximately 100-fold more stable in refluxing trifluoroacetic acid than the aminoacyl-0CH2-resin. Comparison with a solution analogue showed that this was due to the inductive effect of the p-acetamidomethyl group. Cleavage yields (HF-anisole, 9:l v/v, 30 min, 0 "C) were 82-100 % for the aminoacyl- and peptidyl-OCH2-Pam-resins exam-ined. The aminoacyl-OCH2-Pam-resins showed resistance to primary amine nucleophiles similar to that of the ami-noacyl-OCH2-resin. No racemization (

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
