Linker generation methods

Carboxylic acids can be attached to these linkers using methods of ester bond formation such as carbodiimide/DMAP [23] and acid chloride/base. For the loading of N-protected-a-amino acids in particular, an array of different methods has been developed to minimize enantiomerizahon and dipeptide formation during the esterification reaction. These include the use of MSNT/N-methylimidazole [24], mixed anhydrides generated with 2,6-dichlorobenzoyl chloride [25], esters of 2,5-diphenyl-2,3-dihydro-3-oxo-4-hydroxythiophene [26] and acid fluorides [27]. Phenols and N-protected hydroxylamines have been immobilized using the Mitsunobu reaction [28, 29], The latter are particularly useful for the preparation of hydroxamates [29, 30],... 

There is huge potential in the combination of biocatalysis and electrochemistry through reaction engineering as the linker. An example is a continuous electrochemical enzyme membrane reactor that showed a total turnover number of 260 000 for the enantioselective peroxidase catalyzed oxidation of a thioether into its sulfone by in situ cathodic generated hydrogen peroxide - much higher than achieved by conventional methods [52],... 

In addition to the procedures listed in Table 3.38, further reactions have been used to generate halides upon cleavage. In Section 3.5.2, iodolactonization is presented as a method for the preparation of iodomethyl lactones from resin-bound pentenoic or hexenoic acid derivatives. Closely related to the iodolactonization is the iodine-mediated formation of 2-(iodomethyl)tetrahydrofurans from resin-bound isoxazoli-dines (Entry 9, Table 3.38 for the mechanism, see Figure 15.5). Nitriles can also be prepared by cleavage and simultaneous dehydration of amides RCONH2 from the Rink or Sieber linkers with TFA anhydride (Entry 10, Table 3.38).
