Preparation of a Novel Resin Derived from Ion-Exchange Resin and its Evaluation in Peptide- and Benzodiazepine Synthesis

Eric Lattmann*, David C Billington, Pornthip Arayaratb, Harjit Singh and Michael Offel


ABSTRACT: The preparation of an extremely cheap and novel resin synthesised from a commercially available ion exchange resin is described. The free carboxylic acid group of the resin was converted into a methylester. Subsequent reduction of this ester to the corresponding alcohol has been carried out in one step, by using a solution of DIBAH as a reducing agent. The application of this resin for solid phase combinatorial synthesis has been evaluated by synthesizing 2 representative peptides and 2 selected 1,4-benzodiazepines.
