Application

  • Acid labile resin used in Fmoc-based solid phase peptide synthesis.
  • Mild acidic cleavage conditions lead to the release of the peptide acid where fully protected peptides can be released if desired.
  • 2-Chlorotrityl chloride resins prevent racemization of the first amino acid and are thus very useful when racemic mixtures are forming (common with residues such as His or Cys).
  • This resin also prevents diketopiperazide formation, which can be an issue with proline C-terminal peptide sequences.

Use:
  • Attachment of the first amino acid residue is effected by stirring the resin, the protected amino acid, and excess diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) in dichloromethane.
  • Cleavage of the final protected peptide fragment is achieved under very mild conditions using either acetic acid/trifluoroethanol (TFE)/dichloromethane (1:1:8; v/v/v), hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP)/dichloromethane (1:4; v/v) or simply 0.5% trifluoroacetic acid/dichloromethane (v/v).
  • Higher concentrations of TFA can be used if retention of peptide side chaing protecting groups is unimportant. Note that trityl chloride is moisture-sensitive, and, therefore, should be stored and handled appropriately.
  • If the resin becomes deactivated, treatment with acetyl chloride or SOCl2 in toluene before use is recommended to restore its activity.
