✦ Synopsis
The anchoring the first amino acid in Boc chemistry to a 4-(3-hydroxy-4methylpentyl)phenylacetic acid linker is described and compared to the conventional Pam resin. The peptidyl-4-(4-methyl-3-pentoxy)phenylacetamide linkage is slightly more stable to TFA than the Pam linker but in contrast to the Pam linker stable to cleavage of benzylic protective groups with TFMSA/DMS/TFA mixtures. This allows a mild and convenient two step deprotection procedure using the "low TFMSA-high HF". In HF this new linker reacts preferentially in an intramolecular reaction forming a tetrahydronaphthalene derivative.

A rapid micro-test using 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid has been developed to detect incomplete coupling reactions in solid phase peptide synthesis. This new test will detect 3 nmol of free amino groups per milligram of resin.
