Silyl-based linker 23, cleaved by either basic (TBAF) or neutral (CsF) fluoridolysis to release carboxylic acids, alcohols, or amines, was prepared by treatment of a Grignard reagent to an aldehyde resin [28], To demonstrate the utility of this handle, /)-bromobenzoic acid was... 

Silyl-derived linker 36 was prepared in three steps from a silyl ether of serine and incorporated for Fmoc/tBu-based assembly of protected gly-copeptide blocks (Scheme 11) [42]. The a-carboxylic acid function of serine was protected as an allyl ester. Deprotection by a Pd(0) catalyst in the presence of dimedone liberated the carboxylic acid in order for subsequent... 

Cleavage of all the linkers described above provide a functional group (carboxylic acid, amide, amine, etc) at the anchoring position. Silyl-based handles 71,72, and 73 as well as germanium-based handle 74 insert a C-H bond at the anchoring position and are referred to as traceless (Fig. 15) [82-...

To our knowledge, only one attempt has been made toward the preparation and use of a fixed glucosyl trichloroacetimidate.9 Takahashi et al. described the synthesis of an attached O-glucosyl trichloroacetimidate and extended the use of the well known traceless silyl linker strategy (Scheme 4.11). 

Many other linkers besides those listed above have been developed for two-phase synthesis of oligosaccharides on insoluble supports, and it can be expected that at least some of them will be tested on soluble supports. It should be kept in mind that MPEG-supported syntheses can be easily scaled up therefore, any relationship between both types of polymer supports will be cooperative rather than mutually exclusive. Such linkers will most probably include dialkyl- or diaryl-silyl linkers,10,41 3 and linkers cleavable by photolysis such as the o-nitrobenzyl group and its modifications.44 16... 

The galactosyl glycal 72 was bound to solid phase via a silyl ether linker. Epoxidation of the glycal using 2,2-dimethyldioxirane and subsequent electrophilic activation of the epoxide resulted in the glycosylation of 3,4-di-O-benzyl glucal 73. After acetylation of the product, the polymer-linked trisaccharide 74 was obtained. 

Silyl linkers (Tab. 3.5) have successfully been used for the synthesis of natural products [96, 97], oligosaccharides [98], oligonucleotides [99] and in peptide synthesis [100]. 

Examples for multifunctional cleavage are given by the use of sulfone-, silyl- or triazene-linkers [202]. Wagner et al. for example used a cleavage Suzuki reaction on a sulfonium-linker (105) (Scheme 3.8) [206].

The work by Armstrong was extended to include the room temperature resin capture of trisubstituted ethenes with a pendant boronate group.80 Modification of the amide linker above to a novel silyl-based one allowed for the traceless cleavage of superior analogues. 

Veber et al.88 used Suzuki couplings on a solid support to generate simple biphenyls (Scheme 38), in the presence of a silyl linker, which was cleaved to release these structures without trace of the linkage position. 

Details of the Janda-Chen synthesis were as follows. A tetrahydropyran (THP) linker was attached to the NCPS support enabling attachment of alcohols via THP ether formation.13 The THP-NCPS resin 1 is derivatized with / -(+)-4-hydroxy-2-cyclopentanone 2, giving the THP ether-based resin 3, followed by coupling of the C13 20 fragment by enone-cuprate addition. The cuprate required was generated from the corresponding E-vinyl stannane 4. The resulting enolate was trapped as the silyl end ether... 

The C-Si bonds of aryl-, heteroaryl-, vinyl-, and allylsilanes are stable towards alco-holates or weak reducing agents, but can be cleaved under mild conditions by treatment with acids or fluoride to yield a hydrocarbon and a silyl ester or silyl fluoride. Several linkers of this type have been tested and have proven useful for the preparation of unfunctionalized arenes and alkenes by cleavage from insoluble supports. Typical loading procedures for these linkers are sketched in Figure 3.42. 

A class of photolabile linkers has been developed to circumvent the use of silyl ethers as linkers and allow for the use of temporary silyl protecting groups.34,35 Photolabile linkers, such as 2, often involve the use of o-nitrobenzyl ether groups. This functional group is stable to a variety of conditions however, cleavage from the polymer support is often slow and...
