Merck, 8550980005, (3-Formylindolyl)acetamidomethyl polystyrene

General description
Versatile indole-based linker for the synthesis of secondary amides, carbamates, ureas [¹,²,³,⁴]and aminopurines [⁵]. In a study comparing the cleavage rates of secondary amides, ureas, carbamates and sulfonamides from indole, dialkoxybenzaldehyde and Rink amide resins, the indole resin was found to be the most acid-labile[⁶].Reductive amination with excess of amine and NaBH(OAc)₃ in DCE/TMOF[seepage], NaBH₃CN in THF/TMOF/AcOH, or NaBH₄-Ti(OiPr)₄ in THF [²], converts the formyl group to the appropriate secondary amine. Cleavage can be effected with 2-5% TFA in DCM, depending on the nature of the product being released from the resin.
