Significance

Silicon-containing solid supports play an inherent role in solid-state peptide synthesis. Consequently, chemists are in search of elegant and practical supports for peptide synthesis. In 2001, Lipshutz and Shin developed a novel and easily accessible silyl carbamate linker for peptide synthesis.

Comment

Polystyrene-bound silyl carbamates of amino acid esters were synthesized by treatment of amino acid esters with gaseous CO2 in dichloromethane, with subsequent trapping of the polymer-bound silyl chloride. The resulting polystyrene-bound silyl carbamates of amino acid esters can be used in solid-state syntheses of polypeptides, building from the carboxy terminus.
