Abstract
Use of solid-phase synthesis for the derivatization of carboxylic acids with biotinylated spacers consisting of ethylenoxy units is described. An aminomethylated resin provided with an acid-labile aldehyde linker is used as the polymer support and three different systems with a reactive amino group are introduced. Acylation of each system was tested with a set of model carboxylic acids and afforded crude products of excellent purity. The preloaded resins are similar to the Biotin-PEG-NovaTagTM resin but offer several advantages including simple elongation of the spacer arm. The protocols described represent a very efficient way of modifying compounds to obtain ligands for affinity chromatography studies.
