Amino acid derivatives of chloromethylated polymers and methods of making the same
Abstract
Abstract The application discloses polymers and methods of making same in which a chlorine atom of a chloromethyl pendant group of a polymer such as a chloromethylated copolymer of styrene and divinylbenzene is substituted with a derivative of malonic acid having a protected amino group on the alpha-carbon atom and two carboxyl groups or precursors thereof to form, via several steps, the alpha-amino acid derivative of the starting polymer. These polymers are used, for instance, as ion exchange resins, as substrates for affinity chromotography, and as a starting resin for solid peptide synthesis. The resultant polymer is also used as a starting material to make a polymer with a pendant group that is a derivative of oxazolidone-2,5-dione, substituted at the 4-position. These polymers are used, for example, as the matrix for solid phase peptide synthesis and as the starting resin for solid phase peptide degradation.
